New hardware

I am such a bloody spoilt little brat. Yesterday at 3pm I ordered a new phone from mobiles.co.uk because the screen on my old phone is all smashed up and I’ve had it for over a year - longer than I usually keep phones for. There’s one little, little problem with ordering a phone for such websites - they’re contract phones and I have really bad history with contract phones (ending up with me owing 02 over £500 and Orange about £300 a few years ago and screwing my credit rating for a good while). But I decided that since I’m 22 on Monday it’s time to bite the bullet and act my age when it comes to money.

There was an other reason I was wanting a new phone - a free gift. In my case an Acer Aspire 5315 with 1GB DDR SDRAM and a 80GB drive. It’s widescreen and pretty.

I figured that this, plus a Nokia 5300 5300 XpressMusic with 600 cross-net minutes and unlimited free texts was more than good at £35 a month so I called up to find out the catch and couldn’t find one so I ordered it. It was delivered earlier this morning. And I love it! The laptop/notebook is awesome and exactly what I need since my Dell Inspiron’s been dead for months and I wanted a new phone.

Is it wrong to buy yourself birthday presents though? Have you ever bought yourself something for your birthday, just as a wee treat?
