    This is such a motivating challenge and it's great to see it continuing onto Take for. i wanted to do it last time but i missed the start date and didnt want to join half way through.I am hoping to get a bit of work chasing up non signers on the electoral register, that starts around October and lasts until late November with payment in early December.

    Oh - sorry but I don't know what a Gameboy is either.

    At this point I will confess to a portable TV in the loft and a plinky plonk tennis game console which plugs into it.
    I got it for Christmas in 1978
    I was thinking of getting it down at Christmas and thrilling the kids with it!

    I will investigate the DSI that he wants - I assume they're in the region of £120 - that seems to be the usual cost for this type of thing these days.
    Seems I may need to get 3 Argos catalogues!!

    Are there any after costs, add ons etc?

    I suppose this time next year he'll be after a mobile phone

    They are games that he probably will want which cost from £30 and below depending on how new they are. Also they are lots of accessories like cases, headphones etc but you should be able to get the main things that you need in a package when you buy the dsi. I would get him to show you what he wants and limit him to one or two games as the costs can build up. My OH trades in old games in order to get new ones otherwise its too expensive.
