[Hudlug] The Ups and Down of Hardware Cravings

[Dave Naylor]

Hiya

So, some of you may know that I've been hankering after building a new machine 
soon.  Christmas, broken cars and leaky washing machines have been hampering 
my money saving efforts however I was well aware that according to my rough 
calculations, a long standing loan would be paid off in December.

So, yesterday I checked my bank balance and saw to my horror that the regular 
loan payment had gone out of my account that day.  Oh no, I must have 
miscalculated the loan period, oh wooah is me!  Like a fool I'd already 
allocated portions of the amount here there and everywhere and then once the 
Xmas financial recovery period had passed I could set my sights on all that 
lovely silicon, plastic and metal.  Now all my hopes are dashed and I'm skint 
into the bargain.  Bugger!

Anyway, today, I get a letter from the credit union from whom I'd obtained the 
long standing loan.  It pointed out their new improved rates and enquired as 
to whether I needed another loan from them since my previous one had been 
paid off in November. Did I realise that my standing order had made two 
payments to them since the completion of the loan and my account now had a 
healthy credit balance.  Fan-tast-tic!

Things like this don't usually happen to me.  Woo Hooo!

So, so long as I can keep it quiet from the missus, bring it on Mr Hardware 
Salesman d00d!  I think I'll have shiny blue one :)
