I would not wait to long since the Pentax prices have gone up

They are all very good and wont regret one.
The Pentax handles probable the best.
Tamron has very nice bokeh I believe.
Sigma feels very well built.
Your choice.

Also if you sell second hand, Pentax most of the time hold his value better and since the prices have gone up now if you would sell it over a month you would hardly make any lost probable.

For those subjects get one that works wireless.
I've used the flash quite a lot just in my hands with Macro work and inside it's handy you can aim the flashhead to let the light bounce of ceilings and walls.

Sigma DG ST model has loads of power, but virtually no control. You'd be better off spending the little bit extra on the Metz 48. Power is nothing without control.
Thank you for correcting me, it looked like it had some controls.

I think the quality is better, it just if you look at individual pixels then i say K10D is better but the GX20 has more so all in all the photos look shaper.
Also iso noise is better, at least if the GX20 is in par with the K20D and i do think so.

Be careful with re-composing, you are change the angle how you view the subject so if you move up to get a focus and then down, then that point in the center might be infront of the focus.

Not that it is bad just be careful when shooting with shallow DOF

Tough luck, hopefully you don't feel so ill anymore.
The lens and the camera are weather sealed so that isn't stopping you
Go outside and enjoy that you've a new lens

It depends how the shot frames but mostly it's on the top of the nose yes. not truly perfect though but close enough if the dof is not too shallow.
If I've the time though, i only use the AF to move the focus close and then focus manual. My current most photograph subject is my little cousin of almost 2 so he does hardly sit still.

edit: had troubles with the family order.
Like John said you try to focus on the eyes yes, thought you asked me what I did. ^^;

My is set on select but is in the center 90% of the time, when doing portrait mostly i shift it up one notch so that it focus on the eyes.
And I only use the AF button, not half press release.

Good luck with finding good deals, I'm not really into the older lenses.
There are many here that can give you great advice over that.

For £50 that's a very good deal I believe.
The long primes are surely a bit more expensive.

Your title says 18-70 so thought it was a new lens
Only too bad I can't read that

I'm still not sure to get a 16-50 or 17-70

I've got to stop reading these forums. I now have a sudden urge to buy another lens, even though I never knew I wanted it. I wonder if I should just give all my money to Pentax the minute I earn it? Would save lots of hassle!
Don't foget the K-7 of course
