Hi,

I have recently been contacted by my phone company, who, as a reward and to keep my custom have offered me an add on to my contract for an iPad. I have taken them up on this offer and will be paying monthly much in the same way as a mobile phone contract at a rate of £24 per month. This all went through and iPad arrived.

I did this as my school comp is near to breaking so I can do my school work on it but also if I am honest I really wanted one too.

The way that I can justify this is that I had a promotion recently, I pay in half of my pay increase as required and will pay for the iPad from my own share which is more than enough to cover this.

Can anyone envisage any problems here or am I ok??? I do very little for myself, especially after having LO!

Advice and thoughts please xx

Hi Benny -- as I see it, what you do with your share of any increase is entirely up to you, so see no problems here.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

So long as you have arranged the uplift to your IVA payments your share is for you to do what you wish with....enjoy ..love my ipad !

Sounds like a good deal - and once you have had an IPad you will wonder how you ever managed without one. I use mine all day every day.
