    Boys Toys ~£150

    Received a £100 'gift card' from work today for achieving 100% attendance, twinned with some vouchers from christmas, I'm wanting to get a new toy.

    What's worth looking at?

    Typically I just bought a PSP... otherwise I'd have answered my own question.

    I'm limited to shops in Meadowhall (Shopping Center in Sheffield)

    Dont have an office for a computer chair.

    Just recently dug out a jacket I like. Rarely wear them as I rarely need to.

    They're right outside my front door... about £15 last time I enquired. But as it's a gift card I'm restricted to Meadowhall

    Having said that, I received a £20 gift card for xmas, and they're 'Preloaded Mastercards' -- I tried to use the £20 one on Play.com and it appears to have gone through. So maybe I'm not restricted... though I'm expecting them to come back and say 'card declined'...

    It's blatently obvious that I'm gonna have to hold on to it. There's nothing around that takes my fancy.

    Think I'm gonna wait for an EEEbox b204, to replace my Mac Mini, unless Apple get their act together and release specs of a new one anytime soon.
