And now we wait

Well in regards to the xbox issue i mentioned in teh last entry i have asked microsoft if they will repair it and despite being out of warranty they are supposed to be sending me a shipping label so i can send it back to be repaired. So now i'm waiting on this email and then just got to package it all up and hope for the best. If they do fix it then i will have saved nearly £200 as we were thinking of geting the elite console. Its been annoying as i keep seeing xbox games i'd like to play and the new final fantasy is out this year and that is definetly being bought.

As a result of trying to save money for a new xbox which i may or may not need i am being really tight and have not spent that mush last week and won't this week. Its payday friday and there are a few things i need to get, dave needs a new phone mainly and i would finally like to start learning to drive (if only i coul pick an instructor) also mums birthday is this month as well as mothers day so will need to budget for that. I have enough to get by but it would be nice to have a bit more once in awhile, i feel like quite the meany saying no to getting things all the time, i mean i dont often consider buying a game if it over a tenner. Heres hoping my pay isnt too bad this month.

On the plus side i have ordered some new glasses, the first new pair in 5 years. They are only cheap but they will be new and not bent or sratched :) I am annoyed that specsavers did charge me for my glasses before i got them as im not getting them til the 3rd of march. Thats just me though. Also the 3rd of march is the day we go digital in our little part of wales. i'm hoping that with the addition of a digibox thingy (ah another thing to get) that i will finally have more than 4 channels (altho one is the welsh one so more like 3 :P ). I'm especially looking forward to having Five as it shows csi and ncis which i can watch no end. Even if i know an episode of csi i can never remeber who did it, obviously i do if i've seen it recently but generally my mind goe i know this but who did it.

Thats about it for now i think.

Theres always something

Well since my last post the xbox 360 has had the red rings of death and is now an expensive paperweight. This does come at an annoying time as both myself and dave were on a playthrough of Blue Dragon and i was up to the third and final disk. Also dad has been playing fable 2 which i think hes been enjoying a bit. It also means the more reliable dvd player in the living room is out of action good job theres the ps2 for backup. I'm now on the lookout for a good deal on an xbox preferably an elite as it comes with a bigger hard drive as standard. Its just annoying that its one of those things that i'm just not sure about buying of ebay, i'd prefer to go to a shop but its likely to cost a little more that way.
It died just before i went to Annas which made me worry about money again but all was well and i enjoyed my weekend there. We had a trip to St Albans, i stocked up on cheap incense from a discount store and got some that wasn't vanilla for once. We made a coffee and pecan cake which was lovely and i made the usual korma that is required of me. So all in all i ate to much but it was fun.

Other than that, not much is going on, i've got dishes waiting for me and a lovely soak in the bath before playing a bit of WoW and deciding what to have for lunch, its odd being at home and not having dave here but its nice to have the time to myself.
