A crazy impulse buy!

[peterattheboro]

Went for a wander around the retail park today with £100 in my pocket looking to treat myself.

Ended up coming home with a Panasonic Viera TX-P50S20B 50" plasma, a free blu-ray player and an Onkyo 5.1 HT-S3305B surround system.

Altogether came to a smidgen under £1300. No doubt I could have got it cheaper online but as an impulse buy, I wanted it there and then!

I reckon it's too big for our tiny living room aswell

Not really but a new TV and blu-ray player was an upgrade that needed doing. Only had a poverty spec 32" LCD and DVD player before

If only the bank would allow for me to do such a thing.

Thats the one problem with buying on the internet, you have to wait. As you say sometimes you just want it there and then .
