The Laptop is Here!!!!!!

I am so happy!!!

The laptop is here which means there should be less errors and formatting issues on the blog as I should almost always be posting from my lap top.

I am even happier as I managed to get an absolute bargain.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I hate to pay full price for anything and will usually shop around, wait till sales etc to get some kind of discount. Last year that, and a hatred of waste, took me down the path of purchasing pre loved items. It started off as clothes and turned into an obsession.

I am pretty lucky that I have contacts who work in the second hand market and this can help me get fantastic like new goods for really low prices. That;s pretty much what I did with my lap top too.

I called up my cousin who manages a pawn shop and told him I was in the market for a fairly basic laptop and I had a budget of £200. He came back to me with an offer of a laptop still being sold for £350 new for just £80!!!!!

Now if that isn't a deal I don't know what is.

Its not in mint condition there are scratches on the outside but I bought this pretty much to blog on, I don't ever intend to take it out of the house so scratches don't bother me its whats under the hood that matters.

I've bought a pretty case of Amazon and have put some of that saved money aside ready for when my no buy ends on the 1st May.

So excited.

I do have a word of warning for you. If you are going to buy a second hand phone or computer make sure you check for malware before you log into anything. My cousin thought he had wiped this laptop but I found hacking code on it. Took me 5 min to get rid of but then another 20 to go to all my accounts and change my passwords just in case anyone got anything as I did log into my accounts before my antivirus had finished running.


Tell me about your amazing bargain buys. Do you do second hand?

Love
