Out with the old....



In with the....... new!!!!!



Anyone need a good condition but old tv?



We've had our eye on one of these babies for a wee while.
We don't watch much tv - Princess Adelaide gets to watch Blues Clues and other such kiddie shows in the morning, but that's about the scope of tv watching in our house. 

Unless, of course, the All Blacks are playing, or there is a good movie on.

Plus all the antics of possessions not at all being our focus (or at least we try hard) and living on one income etc - long story short, we didn't feel very justified in paying over a grand for a new tv.

We need our office for the baby so it was a toss up between a lap-top or a tv.  Until we discovered our couple of year old computer can be plugged into a tv.

The hubster was due a bonus from his boss. Accountants like to do things that save them tax - so purchasing "something" rather than just giving us cash is far better.  The bonus wasn't that much - so we had settled for a 32" so to not have to pay extra money.

But on the weekend, there was a clear-out sale - and we got the exact 42" of tv we had originally wanted - for the very amount of the bonus!

Even better is when your parent's paid nearly triple what you did a couple of years ago! haha.

LOVE IT!

  1. sneaky accountants ;) Nice TV plasmas are great. Plus you probably needed one of those when TV goes digital in September anyway.

  3. well well, I was informed that you don't "need" a new tv to hook into the new network - most old tv's will be able to connect with the right equipment.
    I'm certainly stoked with my new toy tho! :D
