Tell us what your next big purchase is going to be.

No, something you buy with a few quid is not a big purchase. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1661793/emot-argh.gif

Holidays count.



I'm thinking my next purchase is going to be an Olympus Pen E-P2.

My only compact camera at this point is a Rollei 35, and I don't want to always have to develop film if I decide not to go out with my massive DSLR. Micro Four Thirds is a pretty awesome camera type as well, much better than point and shoots in general. The ability to swap lenses on a camera of that size is also a huge bonus.

Oh wait, didn't read the other bit.

Uhh... I'll have to get back to you on that. There have been talks about travelling Europe when we can afford it. Denmark, Holland, Switzerland, Italy.

A car. I've been looking but I've put it on hold cause I don't want to buy one until I pass my test. When I buy I'm hoping to get the car for about £2,000.

I could go up another €100 but I'm not really sure. I'm not fond of Dell tbh. I quite like Packard Bell.

Are you hoping to spend about the same on your insurance?! Insurance for young folks/new drivers is a nightmare

Anda Ford Ka I'd suggest in that price range - avaid Corsas like the plague as overpriced as too popular with youngsters.

I suppose that's a sensible reason to buy an inferior product that will fall to bits faster - I'm not being sarcastic really.

Yes - an Acer sounds perfect - something built by a 12 year old during his break-time from making Nike trainers

Not in my experience - they tend to last for years - or are you suggesting that Jess's brother was crap at builds?
