    I wasnt dropping birthday hints...honest :)

    Not bothered by the PS3 yet, only got assassins creed on it and I think Xbox have it also.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Now NIM, you proposed less than a week ago, no talk like that just yet!

    Is it the PS3 that has that game where you design the worlds? I want that one! I'm getting granny a DS for her 75th next month, she's made noises about fancying a go on the brain training! She's good at texting so I'm sure she'll be fine with it...

    I have absolutly no idea about consoles, i dont really do technology - OH was quite surprised (and i think secretly a bit annoyed) when i took to going on the wii. All i know is im not really sure why OH bothers with them because hes such a bad loser and gets really stressed out if he cant do something on one of the games.
    Bless at getting your granny a DS! My mum borrowed mine and is useless on it and shes only 45!! - but shes even more useless with technology than me and thats saying something!

    OH has an Xbox 360 and it's been a total godsend since he's been off work! It keeps him occupied throughout the day, it's a free way to keep in touch with his friends as quite a few have Xboxes and we use it to watch downloaded films, either through USB or streaming through the PC. It was worth it IMO, and I'm not even into consoles and such like! I think it cost about £120 and he was lucky enough to get a lot of the gubbins required to go with it for free/cheap off his friends.
    How cute is your Granny wanting a DS? I'm fairly sure he brain age will be younger than mine!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I had to cheat to get my brain age to one year below my real age, then haven't been back on since so I don't ruin it!

    And mine, took me ages to get my brain age down to my actual age. Was very embarrassing :rotfl:

    Are you serious?

    You've not clocked my hints AND had forgotten my birthday.

    I'd have remembered before the actual day love - you kind of distracted me on Sunday so my mind has been there, and I have my ring coming to look forward to, then seeing your mother to have night terrors over. Plus random people with timescaleless cakes. I'd have remembered next week.

    Please tell me what you've been hinting about!
