BTW - be careful using them - they were a tad careless entering information [ Card expiry date - added an extra digit ! ] so transaction refused - transferred to my CC and went through with no problem. had to phone the bank and after a bit of digging they found the expiry date had 3 digits instead of 2 !!

That caused me a wee panic at this time of year I can tell you.

You clever person you

Cardiff has got it in stock Should have it tomorrow

Santa is actually bringing me a very nice expensive mechanical type pencil and err - that's it !

I'm kicking myself - and very hard too

Sorry - this is not pointless and it's photography related.

Being cheesed off with the weather [ who isn't ? ] and decided to treat myself to a Christmas pressie of the 50-200 WR Lens . IT'S OUT OF STOCK and won't be in till second week of Jan - by which time SRS price will have reverted to normal

I wanted to take it to Dublin with me on Jan 4

As I said - kicking myself HARD - really can't afford the 50-300 and this was only possible 'cos of its price.

OH and please Santa - could I have two decently working knees please ?

Hmmm

Think Santa's going to get a LOT of letters like that Gwyn

Not bad Ken

mine is link

It's a bit of a tardis and what goes in the front pocket has to be seen to be believed

My spare battery for the K30 has travelled in a Think Tank 2 pocket thingy - thislink

That then goes in a pocket in my Event Messenger bag . So far no problems . and it's done 5 round trips to Dublin that way this year .

I've actually plenty of wine in - the whisky doesn't need topping up [ I enjoy it - particularly Single Malts ] and I don't drink gin [ just don't enjoy it ]

Beer - well that's 20 x33cl bottles of Leffe Blond and a couple of big bottles of Leffe Brun [ for when friends visit ]

The rest of the load was things like washing machine stuff , dishwasher stuff , some bottles of bleach, which weren't urgently needed - but saves me carrying them

well - thanks to Tesco deliveries , I'm now stocked up with my favourite BEER again.

I felt a wee bit sorry for the delivery guy - it was a VERY heavy delivery - I got my money's worth out of that one - not just beer but other stuff too

Same feelings as you Gwyn.

I'm very very rarely down South now - probably as well for my bank balance
