Its mine - ALL MINE!!!

2 years ago i suffered a great tragedy...My trusty puter died. I was devastated. As I had been on my own with my children for nearly 10 years then, the computer was my lifeline. Also at that time we were still in the middle of Griffin Mania and the virtual world that was griffinfans.co.uk (Don't go there it doesn't exist) was the centre of my universe. Without my computer I felt like my arm had been hacked off.
I was in turmoil though because I could hardly afford to buy a new one. Unlike most people I couldn't even get a loan or an overdraft or buy it off my credit card.

That is when I discovered a company called Brighthouse that became my saviour.
They are a company that specialise in giving credit to those that can't get it else-where. Of course you do have to pay over the odds for the privelige and they charge a whopping 29% APR.
However they don't do a credit check on anyone, they just need the names and addresses of 5 referrences.
So I took in my passport and my tenancy agreement with my list of 5 people and came away with a spanking new PC with a fantastic monster flat screen monitor and a hard drive so big (Well bigger than I had ever known) that I thought I would never fill it (Ha thats what you think)

So after 2 years I finally paid the last £7 today and the computer is now all mine. I have added a couple of new things to it over the last couple of years like a DVD writer and a TV card and i have almost filled the 75gig hard drive but I feel that it is a total accomplishment for me that now it's mine and I don't have to worry about giving it back. (One of the great things about the contract is that if you get into difficulty with the payments you can give it back and they hold your payments then if you want to take it up again later when you can afford it you can)
