Just on the offchance you might find it to be of some entertainment value..
An electric toothbrush
Socks
A weather detector
(This is an ingenious piece of kit. It's a sponge on a string which you hang outside the window. If the sponge is wet, it is raining. If it is hot, it is sunny. If it it hangning at an angle, it is windy)
An invisible man action figure
(Need I state the obvious here?)
Sweets and stuff. More than I eat in a year - partially because I don't actually eat sweets and chocolate.
Puzzles. Every year I get a few, and every year I solve them quickly. This year, I've been beaten. Some annoying string puzzle has the better of me. Grrrr. Alcohol must have been destorying my brainpower.
Red Dwarf video - first few episodes of series seven, incluing extra footage and the Rimmer munchkin song.
Juggling eggs. realistic (allegedly) looking eggs made of rubber, to be juggled with. Look about as convincing as eggs as strawberry jam looks like realistic blood. Excellent for throwing at younger siblings, however.
And A Terry Pratchett book.
That's the lot!

Good god! Paper Round "salary" per week round here is £11! It's pathetic! I want to do a paper round, but I don't know my area very well (been living there 16 years!) and my parents don't want me getting up early. Wait, can I even do a paper round? What's the age limit?

If anyone's interested or doesn't know, I got the following:
CD Labelling kit with 50 white CD labels
Guiness Book of Music 2002
Banjo Kazooie N64 game
Legend of Zelda: Occorina of Time N64 game
Lynx
Jurassic Park / Jurassic Park: The Lost World DVD Box Set
Silence of the Lambs DVD (2-disc set)
Exorsist "Never Before Seen Footage" Edition DVD
Selection Box
Packet of Fudge/Chewitt Sweets
£11
Triple H T-Shirt
Chris Jericho T-Shirt
Stone Cold Steve Austin Mug
WWF Bumper Stationery Pack
5 Blank 3 Hour Tapes
The CD Labelling kit with 50 white CD labels is wicked! I made a CD design for my Application CD! I need £59.99 to get a decent accoustic guitar, so I'm slaving away there. I might be able to get it cheaper from E-Bay or something.

I got a microwave.... but you can't play games on it.
Hey Venom, some new features for your weather detection device which I believe are fairly cheap to add on:
If its covered in hair - your dog has a new friend.
If its smelly - thats not the sponge, its your dog.
If its wet AND smelly - Tell your dog to pee elsewhere.
If its gone - feed your dog more often.
P.S. The sponge is as useless without a dog as this P.S. tag is when used on a computer.
