If this is your first digital camera, then you may get quite a lot of
satisfaction from it. Later you well want to upgrade to something better.
People have a lot of fun with £5 throw away cameras which serve a purpose like
parties etc. If you wish to take photography more seriously then a "branded"
camera will have better optics, quality control, and the general feel of
construction eg plastic mouldings will be better.

I dont know much about the Aldi camera, but some of the other low cost ones,
use non-popular (= expensive) memory cards, where you should consider a camera
with either Smart Media or Compact Flash cards, in which case the cards can be
bought very easily at low cost.

If you were buying a film Camera how much would expect to spend ? Then take
that price and multiply by say a factor of 5 to 10 to get the price of the
equivalent digital model.

Do you intend to print the photos at home A4 size or use shop produced 6x4 ?

I started the digital route with a £100 supermarket model, and then went to a
£400 model and finally ended up with a digital SLR (Manual control, extra
lenses etc). So in some respects I did waste money over the past couple of
years, but I learnt a lot along the way. I do know of other people who have
gone into photo shops, and have bought the best, and are now struggling to take
even a simple family snap.(The manual for my current model is over 200 A4
pages)

Food for thought ?

I have a Holga 120s and it takes great pictures for a plastic camera. If you
don't mind a used camera I suggest a Canon G series camera. I still use my
G1, when my D60 is too cumbersome and it take nice snaps.

Are nice film SLRs with a competent zoom lens now £60 - £120? (If
anyone's still making them?).
