Ok, I have been lax since August time (tha's when I went away on trip... not included in this :shifty: ). Anyway I think this is me for the end of the year. This is what it originally was:

F-Heonix = £300 (Spent £105.36) Balance = £194.64
PS3 - £199.99 (£80 is coming off as part of a crimbo present)
Little Big Planet - £9
MW2 - £32
Batman - £34.99
Machinarium - £11
XBLA cards x2 - £22
XB Live - £23
God Hand - £7.99
HDMI Cable - £5
Killzone 2 - £10 (but this will be a gift so not adding that one)

Sold

UFC - £18
Madworld £8
Wii Component cable - £10

All together that is £228.97

So new total is £194.64 - £228.97 = £-34.33


Not bad at all I must say

Another £30 on my tab (figure slightly less but I have given up!)

Call of Duty 4 GOTY edition - £20 brand new @ Gamestation
Bourne game - £5 @ gamestation (Was picking up Farcry 2 but they couldn't find it, and I had to spend the other £5 as I like my transactions being a solid number :fp:)
Tiger Woods gold 07 or 08 can't remember - 98p! Tis actually the only one out of the 5 games I have played so far and it's not bad!
Perfect Dark Zero - £2
Prey - £2

I made an order from game for £28 odd as well, but that won't be included as my mate is paying for it, for my crimbo pressie!
