| 234543 | 2004-05-06 02:45:00 | Yea, I've read them but anything is better than what I've got now. I don't have a phone line in the house at all (brand new house) :) I wired the house up for phones and PC network while it was being built but then found out it will cost $800!!!!! to get Telecom to hook up a phone line!! (We live rural) So Telecom can stick it! My cell phone will do for now. When I do get wireless I'll post back with some feedback. My mate is getting too so I'll talk to him as well. |

Well said Andy, sorry to target smokers, I mean no offence, but have you realised how much money you spend on cigarettes? Same goes for Lotto buying people? Powerball of $10 a week is quite a lot! Especially when you win nothing for months on end.... You've gained absolutely nothing.... |

| 234548 | 2004-05-07 06:17:00 | Yep, the petrol prices are certainly soaring! And s y , thats exactly why I gave up smoking many years back (casually polishes halo). I you find that the expense is difficult just cos it comes in one lump at the end of the month, do what we used to do for the tv licence - put a tin by the computer, and every hour you spend on the net, put 20 cents in the tin. At the end of the month you should have a fair bit towards the bill already saved. |
