My old 360 is getting E73, which is not covered by the extended warranty, I can temporarily fix it by making the console over heat but it's becoming more and more common, so I went out and bought myself a new xbox today.

Taken on my new Nikon digital camera I got today too, my new elite next to my nwe TV.

Just have to wait for a transfer kit before I can transfer my old files from my 20GB harddrve to my 120, I needed a 120GB HDD anyway so thats not too bad. Got Viva Pinata trouble in paradise, AC/DC Live rock band, another wireless controller, Lego indiana jones and kung fu panda for £250 which is quiet a bargain seeing as less than 2 years ago I paid £300 for my premium 360 with gears of war and crackdown!

After working pretty much non-stop for the past 3 weeks I've returned to Uni, on Tuesday I bought myself a new TV. 37" 1080p Toshiba TV

This is a huge "upgrade" from my old 15" monitor I used to play my games on, it's fantastic, has all the inputs you could ever need, all the settings and audio outputs too.

Have been playing a lot of Rock Band with my house mates, even tried my hand at singing (while playing guitar!) best I managed to do was get 91% singing Don't Speak by No Doubt (On easy) while getting 99% on Guitar! Go me!

Picture of TV:

I love it

No idea what other things I'll get this year, now I have my TV not much else I want. Will have to see how much money I have and may get a PS3 at some point, I really want to play little big planet!

Started my winter job last night working for the NHS as a "Urgent Care Service Receiver". Which basically is out of hours doctor service. I work in a call centre and basically just have to answer calls, get the patient details and enter them into the computer while asking a series of questions and that's it. These details are then assessed by a doctor who calls the patient back. Occasionally I will have to call for an ambulance for the patient which will be intersting, I also have people phone in saying someone has just died, fun times The area I work for covers the whole of Dorset and Somerset, luckily I've lived in this part of the country since 95 so I'm used to the accent so that should't be a problem!

I had training yesterday, basically learning how to use the software and then I listened to people taking calls so I could see how it was done, some really interesting calls although I'm obviously not allowed to reveal details about calls etc. but there were a lot of overconcerned mums and with it being winter a lot of flu basically.

What I found strange is about 90% of the people were calling on the behalf of someone else, I guess a lot of people just aren't comfortable with phoning up about themselves.

Due to the hours of the job it means the pay is fantastic (~£7.50 per hour on weekdays, + 20% of that so about £9 and £10.20 on Weekends + 40% I believe, so £14!) Will try and get a few shifts on Boxing day/new years etc. as the pay for that will be close to £20 an hour, maybe more if i work on christmas, well worth it, even if just for a few hours.

Have training again tonight and Thursday and have my first proper shift next Tuesday, although I could possibly work this weekend too.
