    Got 2 Compacts To Complement 40D

    Now, I hate compacts... but in the end, I want something reasonably cheap just to have around with me and for when I want to travel light. Given a choice, I would have gone for the g9, but I couldn't possibly have run to that. Being on a tight budget, I managed to pick up a secondhand Canon...

    Happy, happy

    I am indeed, I thought I would have to wait til xmas at least to be able to get back all the gear I lost. Now all I need is a 4 gb memory card and to replace the crumpler bag I had. I am still a little shocked he did that for me, given his financial situation, but that he couldnt bear to see my...

    Happy, happy

    Now am, again, proud owner once more of a Canon 40D with the 17-85mm lens. ( As posted sometime ago, the other got 'lost' in a moment of madness, along with 2 lenses after a row with my boyfriend) My wonderful boyfriend surprised me totally today when he came in through the door and handed...

    Disaster + Stupidity

    Yes, I fell in love with the island when I lived there with my ex for 5 and a half years. I went back there as I wanted to show it to my new partner, plus to try and replace some bad memories with good...didn't quite work so planning to try again at a later date. I am determined to show him the...

    Disaster + Stupidity

    Eh, I had half hoped the IOW would be a place where it would be more likely for the camera to be handed in, what with the number of elderly people there etc, but evidently I was wrong. Still half hoping. I once left my purse on a London bus and that ended up still being sat on the seat I had...

    Tea or Coffee?

    I love coffee but too much gives me panic attacks as I have an underactive thyroid which means I don't process things so well, plus I am a naturally anxious person. I generally have 1 normal cappuccino a day and a normal instant, and everything else is decaff.

    Have left details with the police over there. Nothing handed in thus far. They will call me, I am assuming, if it is. Have approx 450 towards replacing the camera body. Cheapest I have seen on ebay is £500 or so secondhand, so just waiting to get together the last 50-100 to cover that part...

    Disaster + Stupidity

    My problem is, the mania with me, rather than being a high, tends to be the irritation/rage kind, thus more difficult. I get more lows to be honest. Was in hospital Friday night as a result, and the woman who spoke to me has referred me back to the team I had lost contact with. She suggested a...

    Usually treated with a combination of mood stabilisers and anti psychotics, altho some are just treated with mood stabilisers. Not been diagnosed that long, so not on medication yet.

    Headache is one word. Manic Depression is the original term for it. Common among creative types, supposedly. Stephen Fry has it, for example, if one could call him creative. Either way, it is the first time it has cost me so dearly.
