Okay I'm a Grognard (look it up)

After Mike Mearls comments at GenCon I've been thinking a lot about stuff

I'm going to be writing a project that I know most (all?) of the players I currently play games with won't be interested in but I want to write it - call it an intellectual excercise, a waste of time or whatever

Been watching footage from Gencon from Fantasy Flights perpective and just want to go to Gen Con (see what I can do about that)

FF has loads of brilliant games Card, Board and RPG out and if things continue the way they are I will never play any of them (and that will not do)

Firstly though considering WOTC are releasing the entire back catalogue of dungeons and dragons electronically it's forcing the issue about a device to carry around the obscene amount of books that Pathfinder right now involves

Ipad (nice but too expensive)

Netbook (nice but small)

Laptop - in order to do this I'm trying an experiment (cause I'm crap at saving

The Rule of 1 - every day I stick to the current level of diet and excercise (workday) I put a pound in a tin

The Rule of 20 - I have a savings account that takes £20/month from my main account (I usually use this at some point over the month)

The rule of 100 - every 100 pounds in the paypal account gets transferred out to my main account

Currently £1 in the tin (I only started yesterday) £20 in the savings account and (after 2 people pay for recent ebay purchases £72 in the paypal account

count in money out of my wages at the end of any given month I think I got a shot at the end of September to get a laptop - :)


oh and still hovering around 23.5 stone

    makes ure that BG have an up to date meter reading and if they persist then write a letter of complaint to them and if that doesn't work then to the ombudsman but make sure you keep it polite, factual and mention the ombudsman in the first letter to BG

    I pay 32 per month by Direct Debit over the last 8 months I paid 256 the idea that you owe them £1000 is ridiculous - contest it don't agree to pay it unless they prove that you owe it and thats where the meter reading comes in - you're on benefits for god sake if you tell them you can pay only £5 a month on top of your bill you they will ask for a financial statement and they really have a tough time getting out of accepting it - I works in debt recovery I know this stuff
