Sheikah Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 So that fund could essentially serve as a deposit? You are saving really then, the way you were saying it before with regards to going into your overdraft every month made it sound like you weren't.

Mr_Odwin Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, the main benefit of a mortgage to me is that when I am 55 it will be all paid off, and as I get to closer to that age the mortgage will stay the same (whereas rent tends to increase over time) while my salary increases. So yeah, I want to retire at 55, and the mortgage is a part of that plan. We were all about renting before we "settled" though. Now we're committed to an area (nice job, kids in school, etc) so it makes sense to mortgage. I bought in an era where it was easier to mortgage. Nowadays you can get 95% mortgages but on a 150k house that still means saving up 7.5k - that's not easy, and you need to pay solicitors, etc. too! I grew up in a 3-bed semi and my dad was only source of income and he was a bus driver. You just won't get that anymore. House prices are too mental now.

Ashley Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 £20 for the 3. I think the film will be shit but its always visually intrigued me and it was only £3
Goafer Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I think the film will be shit but its always visually intrigued me and it was only £3 Story wise, it's your usual feel good kids film. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. Visually, it's amazing. Probably one of my favourite films to look at. I don't think any other live action (with heavy use of CGI) film has captured the look of a cartoon as well as Speed Racer.
Ashley Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 For a present for a friend...maybe. I may keep it £18, was £40 when I looked before Christmas!

Ike Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP Namco Bandai (or maybe NoE since they published it) does not like to be outdone by Capcom: Trouble is they cut Episode 2 out, but it sounds like they are releasing it separately judging by the fact it said you can transfer data. Some of the text is a bit small as well
Aneres11 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 13 inch, 128GB SSD. With student discount and 3 years applecare, and about £30 back through quidco - £963. I love it Great purchase! All you need now is a thunderbolt display to hook it to! I have an 11"... (MB Air I mean) lolz - what made you go for the 13 out of curiosity?! They're brilliant aren't they?!
Mr-Paul Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Great purchase! All you need now is a thunderbolt display to hook it to! I have an 11"... (MB Air I mean) lolz - what made you go for the 13 out of curiosity?! They're brilliant aren't they?! It's so good! Went for the 13" as with student discount it was within my budget, and the 11" doesn't have a SD card slot, which I need. I have had a netbook for the last few years which was around 11" and I wanted something a bit bigger too. My dad will now be having my netbook, no need for that now!
Emerald Emblem Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It's taken 8 months, not sure if it was worth the wait anymore.

Jon Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It all looks good apart from the Easyjet plane I hate Easyjet.
nightwolf Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It all looks good apart from the Easyjet plane I hate Easyjet. Easyjet were unfortunately the cheapest, the flights actually cost more than the hotel. But in total it's about 150quid. So I'm pleased.
