Just came back from helping my neighbour with her new laptop. She's kind of bad at it, and needed me to help her rip some music, download it to her mp3 player, connect to the internet and register her laptop, and after all that, she gave me $50 as a little tip.

I didn't tell my mother, coz she would have made me return the money, saying things like 'we should help each other just for the sake of helping. It's not right to take her money.' etc.

So, now I have money to pay for my iPod nano, well technically I only have to pay $25, as my brother is covering the rest, but with the $50 I got, I need not take from my savings.
