The ever popular beer tokens, a voucher for hobby craft so I can buy the paint to finish off an f1 model, body warmer, more malt whisky (like I didn't get enough for my 50th) and a top gear DVD. Plus me and the oh have bought each other a dancing weekend in June starring three of the strictly couples.

First thing is to get an operating system onto it a 2Gig SD card. Here's a useful site.
I used it when I had a play with the PI that Pete has.
