** First Post Updated **

HSH, I think in your last update you deducted from your spending rather than added to it.

Looks like I added to what I had left rather than taking it away.

No matter I'm doing another update soon, I'll fix it then. Damn Steam and iTunes AppStore.

White Rabbit = £250 (Spent £67.77) Balance = £182.23


Spent about £8 on 2 second hand ps2 games...but that's it! Still loads of money left and I doubt I'll be buying anything else in the next few days. I've done good 8-) (although if there had been more games I was interested in this year, it might have been a very different story). We'll see what happens next year. :mrgreen:
