    The presents I bought for myself thread

    Well seeing as one hasn't been started, I thought I'd start one off. Nevermind presents for others, what did you buy for yourself this christmas ?

    I bought an 80 gig iPod classic because my old 20 gig died, and then I went out and bought a new Laptop as I was tired of the old one.

    One of those chunky mag-lights you could kill a man with, it was about a month ago but I justified it as a christmas present...

    I'm buying myself some goodwill with the other half by doing the housework today whilst she sleeps ready for her night shift

    I fold for Hexus, do you?

    Re: The presents I bought for myself thread

    I ended up buying a few, well quite a few, CDs, DVDs and PC games during the past month - all xmas presents of course, even if they're all for me - well nobody else was going to gift those titles.

    I'm really looking forwards to the clients settling the November invoices (a manic month work-wise) in the new year as I'm sure I can justify some post-xmas pressies pour moi

    Edit: oh, how could I forget when it's all sat here beside me! I did also treat myself to a Zalman GT1000, Reserator, 8800GT and extra monitor - all for work purposes of course. Damn I'm so good to myself

    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    Re: The presents I bought for myself thread

    so far I've treated myself to train tickets down to the black country and money for beers etc while at the godskitchen xmas party which was this weekend just gone.

    It was a stonker

    I get hardware etc all the time so I thought I'd treat myself to a night out instead.
