Ahh right, well if you lost the information and wanted to find out what you buy, use Paypal's history (if you use Paypal), or emails. I use them to remember if I bought any games or not.

I've spent literally £0 on gaming related stuff this month, feels good 8-)

I'll update this on 29th, then I won't be able to update for while.

Just remembered I bought a MS Points card for £13.00 (also using a credit note I had) and have just got Lips, 2 mics and a couple of the Lips add on discs off eBay for £39.87

Wasn't going to include hardware, but thought I should do for this. You'll see why in a second....

Bought a Guitar Hero guitar off eBay for £19.50 and also got Rock Band Beatles for £5.95. Plus I've bought 4200 MS Points for £29.99 to get Rock Band 3 and Blitz.

The reason I'm including the guitar is because I'm going to claim back some of my budget, having sold my PS3 Mustang Pro guitar through Amazon. After deducting their fees and postage, I got £47.49.

Updated.

Spent another £50 today on NHL13 and Lego Harry Potter 1-4.

Both my Lego Harry Potter games will probably stay in their wrappers until I've finished off some of my other games.

I've got FIFA on order (and already included it in my spending), so the only other thing I'm considering is Rocksmith, but I'll wait to see what people have to say about it and maybe even get my wife to buy it for me for Xmas. Suppose I'll probably buy more MS points, but I'm hoping this'll be the first year I've kept to my budget.
