So here’s what I got for Christmas:

• An Xbox 360 Messenger Kit
• An ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card (my dad found this in his wardrobe and had forgotten what we got it for; it was a spare that we were going to use while my proper graphics card was getting replaced. Not really sure what I’m going to do with it)
• A box of Cadburys Milk Tray chocolates
• 3 pairs of socks
• A mini USB hub (only USB 1.1 apparently)
• A USB SD/MMC card reader
• A sewing kit
• A 2009 calendar
• A 2009 diary
• 4Gb of RAM for my laptop

I’m going to go out to Newcastle on Saturday and go shopping. Definitely planning on getting a pay-as-you-go mobile broadband dongle to use until we get internet at the new house. I might get some other stuff as well, I haven’t decided yet.

So it’s my birthday today, and I’m 30 years old. Didn’t get much for my birthday but then I wasn’t really expecting much anyway:

• “Matter” by Iain M Banks
• “Magic Bites” by Ilona Andrews
• “The Manga Cookbook”
• “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” DVD
• A 16GB USB memory stick (this is still in the post; despite having been ordered a week ago it hasn’t arrived yet)

Reading “Matter” at the moment.

For Christmas I got:

• Orange Box
• Call of Duty 4
• Unreal Tournament 3
• Crysis
• World in Conflict
• The Da-da-de-da-da Code by Robert Rankin
• The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse by Robert Rankin
• A CycloDS Evolution flashcart + 2GB microSD card to use with it
• A 2008 diary
• A bottle of Asahi Super Dry beer
• A bottle of Tiger beer
• A pack of 25 CD-Rs

Merry Christmas everyone.
