I really need a decent computer. :@ Basically today, the gov has released a scheme that will provide anyone in school who's at the school age of years 3 to 9. A computer grant of £526, yes £526. :@
You can also get free internet for a year with the scheme.
Don't they think about these things properly? I mean come on school years 3 - 9? I doubt hardly anyone in the years 3 - 5 know how to use a computer properly. The computers will need to be repaired in a few days!
Just because your parent's are working they think you can afford anything. My mum only earns £10,600 a year. :@
Wish i had a little bro or sis. :@
Anyway if you have a brother or sister - school years 3 - 9 you might wanna take up on this.
