Oh yeah, I did actually get a fifteen quid iTunes voucher too. And a T-shirt. Which is nice and warm.
Now I want to buy a bass guitar to complete my set of the 'main' guitar / drum instruments, a Midi to USB cable, and maybe a slightly smaller amp! It's my birthday in February so I can see if I get any then.

I had about £400, I think (I included my birthday money because it's on 29th Dec) A PC with an Intel Celeron E3400 processor, 4 GB of RAM, a 500 GB HDD, 1 GB of dedicated video memory (GDDR2) and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 A 1.5 TB external HDD 4 other little things
I'm annoyed with the computer. It's broken in nearly all ways, and I have to do Startup Repair to make it FINALLY work. I'm hoping I can get a refund so I can just get another one, maybe one that actually works properly.

- Clothes. - As a surprise, my parents won the lottery on Christmas Eve. The numbers came in straight, which resulted in a few thousand dollars (not telling how much). - I'm *going* to be getting an Arduino soon thanks to the above event. - Persona 4. I ordered it right when we got home, and it's due to be here on the 29th. I can't stand playing it on an emu anymore. - A "snack bag", including 2 Tic-Tac packs, 2 "Jack Link's Teriyaki Beef Steak" (mmm!), some Fruit Gushers, 3 packs of Stride wintergreen gum, some sour gummy worms (delicious!), Skittles, 3 Hershey's bars, 2 bags of popcorn, and more chocolate. - $150 in cash.

I'm quite happy with what I got.
That could be a great PC if that processor weren't that one.

My mum got a new Acer Aspire One so I got her old Toshiba Satellite. Mmm, Pentium III. Runs XP ok actually, it has a USB port too. But no proper ethernet as I havent got drivers for the PCMCIA card.
