Firstly, Happy New Year to you all!
Secondly, I know it’s been a while since I updated this blog, so I thought I’d better do something about it!
This post is mostly going to be a whinge about money. Or rather, lack of it.
Currently I’m using an iMac for my daily computer usage at home. It’s a fair few years old and starting to slow right down. A few months ago I dod a complete reinstall which seemed to help for a short while. Unfortunatly it’s started to slow right down again, wich is completely unacceptable, as the only stuff that’s installed on it is Photoshop and Apple Works.
Obviously I’m on the look out for a PC, but it has to be a half decent on, that will quite happily run Flight Sim X without any problem whatsoever. Anyone got any ideas?
I’m also wanting a PS3 at the moment too, but again, funds are not forthcoming. I’ve recently got rid of the Wii and a few games, but the money I got from that has just gone onto paying some yearly fees and some of the overdraft. I’ve also just had a free mobile upgrade and sold my o2 XDA on ebay. I don;t see that money either as it’s going straight onto the overdraft too.
I do have an arcade machine that’s just sat there doing nothing, but I’m really quite reluctant to get rid of it. It has over 1,000 games pre-loaded on it. I also have an extremely rare Nintendo DS that was given to me by the guys at Nintendo on a day out that they arranged to promote a game. I don’t want to get rid of that either.
I got a statement from the credit card company today. They have decided to increase my limit by 500 quid. What the hell?! I’m trying to clear off my debts! I don’t want to be tempted to spend more money that ain’t mine!
On another note, my sister Carla and her t’other half Olly has recently had a baby girl. They’ve also just meoved into a house around the corner from us. Less distance to go when we visit each other and have a few drinkies!
That’s all for now, because I really can’t be arsed. We’ve just bought Condemed for the Xbox 360 for 8 quid today. Gem wants me to play it for her as she’s too scared to play it herself. *sigh*
