But the smarties will be gone once you've eaten them!  :popcornsoda:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I don't really follow your point? I don't really follow my own point either however!  :confused: :confused:

I suppose I could decide not to eat them, leave them in storage and hope they appreciate?

Did you know that 20p pieces fit nicely into a Smarties tube? They're a handy 'stealth' piggy bank as long as nobody picks up the tube - the weight gives it away.

I suppose the point is that people have different attitudes regarding finance. Whether or not you'll enjoy something more because you have put yourself through blood, sweat and tears to save for it is purely down to the individual.

If you're impatient like me then you'll not be particularly bothered about sensibly financing purchases. And my guess is that you'll not enjoy them any less because of it.

Its still blood sweat and tears. You have to pay it back.

My Argos card is great. Why should I pay for something now when for no stress at all I can pay in 9 months?

Shame they don't do car parts, well actually now its a relief.

I dont see the issue with it at all.

I had the money for a new car but decided to buy it using a credit card instead. The interest free period gave me enough time to pay it off and the savings i had, gained interest. You just have to be disciplined and not get too carried away with the shopping.

Taking advantage of cheap credit card or loan offers of 0% is exactly the same as saving up - you're just doing it in reverse.

I tend to have a slush fund for fun, but I'd still not berate someone for using the above to buy mods. Just please don't go doing anything with stupid interest rates or overloading the price to include 'free' credit.
Sideways yo!

It's not the amount, it's the principle.

If I borrow 50p to buy a packet of smarties they'll taste just as good.
If I borrow 300k to buy a house I like I'll enjoy living in it.

If I don't like smarties or I buy a poor quality house I will be disappointed.

I don't really follow your point? I don't really follow my own point either however!  :confused: :confused:

I think you need to stop taking the smarties immediately until you know why they are making you talk like this.  :rolleye:

I suspect those blue smarties aren't really smarties at all!  :popcornsoda:

Thank you all for your replies. It's not the case of not having money to do the job, it's a case of hidding the price from SWMBO! I spoke to demon tweets who have giving me 0% so that's sorted all I needed to finish the golf
