Potentially the longest thread in history...

Thanks.



Probably won't say much more than that, on the open forums.

yeah I guess makes sense.
Well hopefully we can keep you distracted.

Paid off £9500 of debt today

Well, kind of. Mum leant me 2500 interest free so I could pay my loan off in full, as it meant i'd save about £800 in interest as opposed to paying it off over a longer time. So that was nice of her

But the other £7000 was saved by me through selling a bunch of **** and saving quite a lot recently.

Feels pretty good. I still have £1500 to pay, but it's on a 30 month interest free credit card so I am not too worried about that one. By the end of the year I hope to have paid back that 1500, and then by the end of '18 I hope to have paid my mum back too.

How'd you even let it get that high

You should put that in the "what I just bought" thread and just type "my life back"

On what ?

I'm obviously a huge PC fan and tech guy, but if I were running a company, I wouldn't take the piss. I'm not giving some office admin person who works out of Excel and Outlook thousands of dollars worth of screens and a top end PC. You get a couple of 24" TN panel monitor, and a standard spec desktop PC. At the same time if you're obviously a power user who is genuinely going to work faster and more productively with three 4K monitors, then I wouldn't have a problem with that either.

Servers, switches, storage, racks, new building wiring, fiber installations, desktop computers, cameras, monitors, TV's, conference room setups, phones... everything.

Secretly hoping you would have said EM drive R&D

(even though IT budget wouldn't go toward R&D)

Lol it's not really as bad as it seems. £5000 was for my motorbike, £2400 was just a 9 month deferred payment for my laptop which I already had the money for. The only real stupid one was £3k I spent on a camera when I was at the worst of my depression and was trying to buy happiness. It kinda worked for a month or so, so I don't really regret it that much.

What's funny is our in-house ERP software is called warpdrive.
