i bought myself an LG home cinema , and an LG HI-FI VCR
both were on special, so came in at under $400, which i was stoked about
both things ive been wanting for ages and the christmas bonus / holiday pay from work allowed me to lash out and get them....(yeah i realise i should have put the money into my motor, but sometimes you just have to lash out and buy things)


mum paid half my airfare for my holiday in janurary

so yeah, i guess you could say its been a good christmas:P
