If I had a Christmas circuit board icon I would be using that instead

They finally delivered my PSU today. And, because apparently they're actually champions, they packed in with it the external CD drive that I literally ordered yesterday.

So now I have all the parts, and just need to figure out when, where and how I'm going to put them all together. And how to use the OEM key I bought for Windows 10. Also I really need to clear up and tidy my room a little bit, especially the desk. But then, hopefully, eventually, computer. Hurrah!

I remembered that it was Christmas NEXT WEEK a few days ago, and after getting a mild flood of adrenaline every time I thought about it, I made sure to go Christmas shopping today. I now have my YN's present and something for the cat - so I only have to buy my ON's present, which should be easy to get, maybe some more wrapping paper because my mum's lightbox is in fact huge, and maybe some Christmas chocolate or decorations or something, if I feel like it. I bought holly fairy lights earlier in the week. I am v satisfied with the decision. Also I realised today I spent more on my cat than any of my nephews or my sister. But, you know. The cat has to live in a garage a lot of the time. So I think it evens out.

It is now Christmas in exactly one week, and I managed to finish my Christmas shopping and am even quite pleased with some of it. Your holly lights sound very nice.

Hello! I didn't see this on the week anniversary, because gmail is weird and only shows the comment as coming from the first commenter on the page, so I skipped over it thinking you were Jen. I went into Leeds early yesterday to try to finish off all my jobs before Christmas - one of which was taking some old video games to exchange at the CEX shop. But it turns out literally everyone is trying to exchange some old electronics for extra cash this Christmas, and I stood in line for 20 minutes - then managed to move through the line in the next ten minutes. After I got out, I realised I hadn't had any lunch and went and stood in a queue at Burger King for a bit. I got two things off my list done. So, the quest to finish off all my jobs before Christmas continues. Grrrr.
