Well as close as I get, which isn't very really.

I have ordered my unnecessarily spec'ed PC* as of this evening, and can't wait for it to arrive. As much as I can easily afford the PC I still prefer to treat my money as house deposit so I mentally treat it as coming from the extra I get for commuting to Newport**; only 35 more working days to pay for it by just commuting. Management buy out went through at work, and just now curious to see what does or doesn't change; well other than all the new car, etc purchase by IPLer's making the most of their share monies.

In an other spending of money had my private dentist appointment today. I definitely easily get more than the 2.5 times better service I paid for over the NHS. The good news thanks to a very thorough check of my mouth is my apparent required filling is not so required. It's either a stain or an old arrested point of decay. They'll check again in a year, and if it has no change, my teeth are such I shouldn't need check ups more than every year or two. Definitely so very very paying for.

*Overclocked Intel Q6600 Quad Core 3Ghz processor, 4Gb RAM, 1TB Hard disc space over 2 discs, Nvidia 8800 GTX 768Mb graphic card, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, appropriately swanky case (NZXT Hush Silver Case), and the other usual bits in the box. Why? Because I can.

**Well that and it makes the commute much less negative if it pays for fun things.
