Wait, FoolKiller bought his wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas?

Man, that's awesome if you can get away with it.

I lost my wallet and all my credit and debit cards so buying stuff is hard. Kinda sucks not being able to access your own money easily.

Sony MDR-J10's from Radioshack. I needed to use my silly giftcard to Radioshack on something, now theres 10$ left on it, I think I'm going to end up buying batteries or something.

I mentioned in the Christmas thread that I got this Seagate 320GB portable HDD for Christmas:

Tonight it got the ol' one-two from the asphalt in the parking lot and it's still spinning just fine. It's not making a single noise that it shouldn't, lol. Thank goodness for high build quality!

I think that may be more luck than build quality. :lol:
 
I've been on a bit of a spend-A-thon over the past few days. I bought myself a DFP wheel (Now I only need a table :sly:)... which is excellent for the price. And today I added a few dvds/blu rays to our collection. 49 new discs :scared:.
I've finished spending for another year!

AMD3000+ over clocking @ 5% to 2.16Ghz. Board had two sticks of 512MB of DDR2.
ATI Radeon X550
400W PSU (so much lighter than old one!)
200GB HDD

£11 for the P&P of all of them

Radeon X1650 Pro

£27

The latter to upgrade from the former.

Doubling the power of my comp for £11 is great I think, new GFX card should make a difference too. Albeit not super speed or very high performance, I'm not going to complain at a decent upgrade for £38.

The HD accepted the new mobo no problem. Which is good!

That's not just a vacuum-- it's a carpet cleaner.

Beat me to it. We are talking water heated to steaming mixed with cleaning chemicals to pull the nastiest stuff you can imagine from deep down in the carpet out. When you dump the water out after you are finished it is almost black, full of crap you didn't even know was there.

And in my defense, it is the only thing she definitively said that she wanted. And I got lucky, because I know she also wants the Dyson Pet, which costs over $500.

Been there. It is rough when you have to go by the bank just to get money for lunch. Did you lose your ID with your wallet as well? Because that would even make withdrawing cash a pain.

I enetered my PIN on my debit card wrong 3 times when drunk and had to use my credit card :irked: While I could still buy things, not being able to have cash was a difficulty in itself, having neither mst be tough.
 
Just bought the Play TV for the PS3 for £58.71 at Currys. I would say it is well worth the money, and is better than my freeview set top box, and is very easy to use. If you can afford it, I recommend it as it is great for recording Top Gear and such.
 
Well the Vantec Nexus went out of stock, so I'm requesting Best Byte for the 3.5" version in return for the trouble.

Yeah, I got the metallic purple Dyson for my 17th birthday. I'm sure I posted about it. It was insane how much it pulled up.

Tell me how the cleaner works for you guys. My Bissell is like from the late 90s... it cleans pretty well but takes a long time and a lot of passes. It also leaves the carpet wetter than I would prefer... again, it takes a lot of passes. Not sure if we'll upgrade, though. I think the plan is to get new carpets as soon as our dog dies, so we shouldn't need one until well after that.

It's still in the box right now, but as soon as we use it I will let you know.

While looking we did see one that runs close to $300 that is supposed to dry the carpets in under 30 minutes.
 
Damn you, it's been freezing that it's crackin' (like we say it :lol:) for days (down to -15C) but still no decent snowcarpet. It's icy everywhere, and a pain to drive unless you have ESP on your car...

She asked for it? Sweet. I just figured cleaning products for gifts is usually a losing situation.

And yeah, lost it all. Luckily I have my passport to get cash from the bank, but yeah it sucks. Is this what people did before credit and debit cards? Annoying stuff.

Never get drunk in New Orleans, friends. Because you will lose your wallet somewhere along the way. And you'll have to cancel your credit cards on Christmas Eve.
 
Eric.
You asked for a vacuum on your 17th birthday? :scared:
Click to expand...

No, I got one. :) Our old one broke. It was a great gift, though. I enjoy clean floors and can't stand canister vacs.
