My husband loves his gadgets. I really couldnt be bothered. I believe that if I cannot use it on a daily basis or if its not for my kitchen then we probably dont need it.
Video games, fancy phpnes, fancy tv sets... those are really things that I feel we can do without.
My husband has wanted a pvr decoder for the longest time, truth be told, we dont really need it. Its just me and him, we watch all his favourite sports (the important ones anyway, I would go crazy with watching high school rugby), I get to watch my favourite programs when he is at work so it works. This pausing and rewinding live tv is just overrated for me, there are dozen repeats and if i miss a series I can always download it.
Well, we went shopping one day and everywhere we went this pvr promotios were just being thrown in our faces and my baby was getting excited. One lady managed to corner us and gave us a full preview into what we were missing, I still refused to budge and my baby wasnt too happy so I told him that if we get to a shop where they were selling it at R1000 we could get it. These things have been on special for R1399 for over a year, I knew we would never get it at R1000 but hubby was satisfied so we left.
The very next shop that we went into, guess what they were selling? The PVR decoder at R1095! Hubby was so excited, I was shocked I think I sent him twice to go confirm and finally went to check myself, I had afterall promised. Sure enough, it was R1095! I had promised we would get it and I couldnt go back on my word. We didnt get it because of technical problems with were we stay, but I sure learnt a valuable lesson that day. I will never again make a promise I know I dont want to keep, God just might surprise me like He did that day.
