A TFT 17" Hanns G /HC174D, German, very high res, glass front, it's great, I could have got a wide screen, for about the same price, but I don't like 'em, or wide screen TV's, the printer is an Epson Stylus D78, ink jet, four colour cartridge, I like Epsons, this is my third.ouch !
what kinda monitor did you get there is a gorgeous 19" from ebuyer that i wanted to get but instead i got my 22"
looks liek ebuyer got rid of it now but it was a nice glass fronted 1

Well they say things happen in threes you've just backed that quote up, an expensive way to prove it though
I had a similar experience a few years ago, washing machine packed up, new one cost£450 then wife burnt the cable of the toaster so that ditched me another £20 this was all in the month of December, then bugger me turned the telly on boxing day and the screen blew., £300 for a new telly
all that after Id spent loads on Christmas. I was really that year lol.

, by the way, how old are your kids now?It was quite spectacular when the spin dryer popped its clogs, it stopped spinning, & black choking fumes quickly filled the kitchen, so, coughing & spluttering I carried it through into the hall, before I could get it out the front door, it was on fire, flames and all, immediately I was outside it was dripping hot molten black plastic onto the concrete drive which set hard like black dogs poo. it took ages to get it off with a garden spade, there are still traces there, what a day!!!

At 23, you were driving for four years before I started, although I had motor bikes when I was 24, the most expensive repair to a car I had to pay was to my own, a Audi A4, which cost me over £1300, the clutch burnt out spectaculary, clouds of black smoke, [yep, like the spin-dryer] parts alone £900 I think, & although the warranty had a year to run, it didn't cover the things like the clutch & the brakes, this is normal practice, in case you didn't know, as a new driver, it was two years old when I bought it, the only other owner was a woman who must have ridden the clutch constantly to cause that much damage in two years, the flywheel was literally destroyed & had to be replaced at a cost of around £460, triple ouch!
