I’m Dreaming of a PINK Laptop…
What a pity I know Father Christmas won’t be bringing me one. 
I wonder if I sat on his knee whether he would???? 
BUT, all is not lost because I’ve decided to do the unthinkable!!!!
I’m going to steal save up for one.
That’s my new savings challenge.
This could be a bit more challenging than my last one though.
This time I can’t use savings from our regular budget (because it’s for me and not the family). This time the money has to come from other sources.
Things like:
* survey payments
* pocket money
* gift money
* blogging revenue
* ebay sales (maybe - if I ever get around to actually selling something)
* any other weird and wacky ideas I can come up with to generate a few dollars (within reason of course ROFLOL).
Goal Amount: $2000
That’s pretty high for a laptop I know but I’d like to get something reasonably decent that I can edit video footage and stuff on.
This is only an approximate amount. I really need to do some more research and work out what I really want before I know the exact cost.
Starting Amount: $50
Amount Still Needed: $1950
I expect it’s going to take me a little while so I won’t update you (and bore you) too often.
Fortunately I have 2 laptops to use in the meantime. I just don’t have any with working CD-Rom drives - hence the justification for buying a new one. 
What are you dreaming of this Christmas?

My dream for Christmas is peace - a whole day with nothing I have to do, no fights to break up and not having to talk to anyone unless I want to. Oh, and a good book to read on that day as well. Doesn’t make me sound too nice….
Good luck with your savings goal.
Yes, I would love a pink laptop too!!!
You can buy external cd-rom drives…..not nearly as pretty as a new pink claptop though.
My savings challenge for next year is for a new i-pod and a speaker docking thingy for it. much less $$ than your challenge so it’ll be easier for me.
“claptop”?? hahahahaha……..I meant laptop.
River - ROFLOL at the claptop slip. I think I like that name better. Perhaps we’ll start a new trend?
Good point on the external CD drive though. Hadn’t thought of that.
Oh how fun that you’re saving for a laptop…and a PINK laptop, too! That’s my favorite color!
I don’t really have much on my Christmas wish list other than maybe a camcorder or the new Sony ebook (but they are both expensive). Really don’t NEED either one, so I’ll settle for healthy happy kids and husband.
I’m saving up for an overlocker! Almost there..
I’m really itching for a good camera. The one I’m after is $900. Will have to see how I go.
Good luck with the laptop (claptop lol) savings
Jeanine - It’s an AWESOME colour!!!!
Kez - Great idea for a savings project. Something that will eventually pay for itself I imagine.
Mistress B - sounds like it’s time to start saving then.
It always amazes me how small amounts here and there squirreled away can add up to a larger amount over time. Good luck.
