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

A 1976 Kawasaki Z900 A4, the bike I have wanted since I was 19 (now 45). If you want to see one, see the bike doing the donut and burnout on Mad Max 1.

Pretty happy with that ... we just got ourselves new furniture ... so that's kinda included in it anyway ... oh we also just got a Border Collie Pup as well ... so that's kinda an early Xmas pressie as well.

I got nothing.
I never do get much for birthdays, Christmas etc.

But the most important thing of all is that I have my health, have an education and have a roof over my head and a family to share it with.
