congrats on ur new home! 've fun wif ur reno n thks for sharing the progress wif fellow forummers.

hi been using this for a yr nw. so far, so good. no dead pixels. highly recommend tis model esp since the price has dropped so much.

like tat means no good izzit?

ya, the modem & 2 phones would be turned off when we are out except on fri - sun.

i'm in a dilemma too juz like kellyla. sigh. pressure fr ILs lor. plus my current work is not stable as its only a contract role. hence, trying v hard to find a new job n settle down quick b4 trying for a kid. hopefully delay 1 yr max can liao. :S

i'm sorry tat both u n my hb had to have wives like us. well, we've learnt our lessons liao so do bear with us while we try n make up for the "lost time".

it does. cos i always over spent on unnecessary things (not branded stuff hor), i wasnt contributing enough to our savings (this was meant for our wedding, hse, reno). my hb helped to save alot and bailed me out when i've overspent. bcos of this, we had argued many times b4 and he was so stressed tat he wanted to break up even. since then, i'm looking at wat i need to buy, wat i muz buy cos $$ is ez to spend yet hard to earn. hope my personal experience will highlight the fact on being prudent with our spending is absolutely essential.

ours averages about 100 a month. - daily usage of kettle (>= 1x), washing machine (>=1), instant heater - always on: a pair of altar lamps, refrigerator, 2 cordless phones, 1 cable modem - microwave (once every 2 wk) - pc usage abt >= 1 hr every alt day

pri: tbps (closed liao) sec: cgs

tat's a nice guideline to have. however, do take note of the sky high prices of housing now. 10% of 300k is 30k leh. does this include furnishing too? *grin* my cousin bought a resale 5 rm about 300odd k but spent close to 50k on reno. hopefully tat includes furnishing. :S
