I like eBay and Amazon a lot. Since I don’t earn a lot of money, I have to be really careful with what I buy and what I spend my money on. The variety of items that eBay offers is hard to be beaten, and some of the prices I can find items on Amazon, are unbelievable. Whenever I want to buy something new, I check eBay first and see if there aren’t any special offers for that item.

 Now, I need an mp3 player. I have checked everything that is on the market till I have found the one I want. The only problem seems to be its price. It’s expensive for me, and I cannot spend so much on it. The solution: eBay and Amazon offer the mp3 player I want, at a price I can afford.

I’m talking about the iriver e100 . It has everything I want, including a radio tuner and card slot. My local store sells the player as well, but I can’t even compare their prices. If my mum knew how much I spend on electronics instead of food, she’d go crazy and make me move back home. Good thing she doesn’t know.

 My girlfriend thinks just my mother on this subject, so she doesn’t have to find out about all the things I purchase. She could find ways to make me feel sorry if she knew, so I’d better not try my luck. She hasn’t discovered yet my Xbox and my new headphones, but I let her know that she could use an mp3 player, too, so she agreed with me on this item.

I just noticed a brand new Xbox controller. I wonder if she’d object if I buy that as well. It might be a good opportunity to tell her I have an Xbox too. I hope she doesn’t throw it out the window, like she did with my Playstation 2.
