Afternoon, Since it has been a little while since we have done a competition (or some other thing that usually benefits the Things with a chocolate donation from a generous lender!), I thought it would be fun & interesting to do something a bit different. One thing that I have always wondered is what kind of setup lenders have when they are doing their P2P thing. Perhaps you have an old computer setup in the corner of your living room, or you might be on a phone/tablet outside in the garden with a coffee in your favourite mug, etc. As such, if anyone is willing to take a photo and send it in of how they like doing their P2P activity and share it then I think this would be fun for all (I suppose a bit like the Cadbury's "How do you eat yours?" idea). If you would like to join in, please send your photo to photos@moneything.com and we will put up all the submissions on Google+ for all to see. To start the ball rolling, I have submitted the 1st photo here. (If anyone can figure out how to submit them directly to Google then feel free to do so). Kind regards, Ed

Is there a deadline?

Wasn't planning on one since it is not a competition as such... (I had originally thought of offering a prize to the saddest looking setup, imagining some sort of old beige boxes running early 90s version of Windows & Netscape Navigator and offering up a more modern alternative to improve their user experience come 4pm, rather than having to start booting up at 3.30pm! )

That's OK then. 8>. I'm really looking for the Tardis Solution which you can boot up at 16:05 and still manage to get a bid in before it all sells out at 16:00:07 .. haven't quite cracked it yet.

For one of those entries I've just spent 5 mins playing a combination of 'yes got that' or 'hmmm, I wonder if that one is...'. I suspect I may know the poster, but also that we have similar libraries!

Perhaps they decided to watch the TV instead, since it looked like GRRM had lost the fox. Or maybe they went Kindle / ebook at some point, or even joined a public library??

I think the latest contributor (treadmill), definitely deserves a chocolate bar!

I think we have a new leader in the Beige Box awards... (Perhaps one of you can identify the OS too...looking at the start button, it appears something like Millennium Edition perhaps? I remember some of my house mates having Tiny computers at Uni which were blistering quick compared to the machine I had when doing important tasks like Minefield!)

How quickly does it take to build a position in MoneyThing ? I liked the concept, opened an account put in ££££ and now realise that at £25/30 a pop it will take a long time to be fully invested so there is a significant cash drag in prospect.........

Small amounts are only for renewals as a lot of investors here renew everything. It won't take too long, £200K AE loan due in next couple of days.
