I've always had a love for Tomb Raider, and this Sunday, I found TR I, TR II, TR III, (already have TR IV at home), TR Chronicles, TR Angel of Darkness, TR Legend all for PC, all for 50p-£1 each. I love them all, but my favourite is, and always has been TR II, but Legend is my new all time favourite, as I found that for gamecube last year in a charity shop for £1.50, and it's absolutely stunning.

I just adore all the games, and am so thrilled to be able to replay them on a Windows 8 computer.

Who else loves TR, show off your figures and games collections! The image of my collection can be found on my Instragram: thegirlcriedfashion

Thanks guys!

Found one at a second hand shop, so bought it, it's a pretty old plush but I have no need for it, and I plan to sell on eBay to a collector who would appreciate him. What's a good price?

It's the same as this one (not my photo) however mine unfortunately haas LC written in permanent sharpie on the other front leg the same size as the factory paw print marks on the other legs.

Okay, this is going to sound odd, but how long do you all spend on your consoles?

Scientific research shows it can be good for hand eye co-ordination, but it can be bad too for the brain and hypothalamus, so I try not to spend more time than I feel comfortable on my console. (3DS and Wii, which I haven't touched in a month now)

I have health problems and I feel constantly harassed by my mum saying "If you want to get better, you have to stop playing your games." And this morning: " You need  to get rid of them, if you ever want to be able to get better." Which to me, is a bit farfetch'd (ha, get it?!) Anyway, I'm trying to limit myself to 20 minutes a day, but it's tricky when you set yourself in game goals, like for me, one thing leads to another, and after I've hatched that non shiny egg, I go and get another and try to hatch that one etc, so it leads on.

So, out of interest, how long do you spend PER DAY on your console? Are you cutting down? Why? Do you know the health risks concerned? What do you think of them?

Icey.

The golden squares where our pictures are... what is their purpose please? I can't remember and wondered why they are there!

Okay, so to most normal people, this is not going to mean much, to me, it means a lot. I've been saving for a long time, and I will finally have enough for my 3DS XL in August (irrelevant, that's not what this is about!) I've finally found myself again, and what makes me 'truly' happy, and I'm going to be saving next for a spa break. I can't wait, and I've found where I'm going to go, and I'm working out prices. I already technically have the money for the 3ds XL and the game I want (I actually bought Zelda Ocarina of Time two days ago as I had some pocketmoney, but I'm getting Pokémon Alpha Sapphire when it's released) so now any money I make on my sales, and any money I make selling my video games that I don't want (I'm selling those elsewhere, and I've already made nearly £40) will be going towards a spa break, where I can have me time. When I was younger, there was nothing I wanted more, so now, I'm actually going to do it, and I'm actually going to live my life how I want to.  so I'm so very happy. I can afford things, for once in my life, and I've gotten a job! (Voluntary as nowhere paying will hire me due to having no experience) but I feel so overjoyed, since coming from a low income family, it isn't often I can afford much, and what I buy that isn't necessity like clothing, I buy all myself.

So, yeah, just a happy post, since I feel so very happy right now, and it isn't often I feel this way, and like I've got things into perspective.

So, share your joy with me!
