I finally gave into the pressure and somewhat inevitably, this should be with me by tomorrow morning....
...I'm really quite excited, I really need one since the present one has given up the ghost, but with it being a big outlay I've been a bit indecisive and spent more and more time trying too save the last one (although it's lasted over two years, so I had my moneys worth) or find the cheapest possible way to get one, but last night I went to the newsagents and checked my lotto ticket to find that I had four numbers and won £85. This made the decision somewhat easier, so I toodled over to Amazon and ordered it next day delivery. I am rather pleased, and have already started making sure all the album art in my iTunes is up to date, and making a playlist so I can sync it to a playlist full of just the tracks I want on it and none of the random stuff that accumulates in iTunes...
PS: Miss P, this is still a saving of £14 on store prices, plus no-one pushed extra warranties at me, and I didn't end up with a credit agreement, I bought it properly, are you proud of me, Miss P?
