 The other end of it just plugs right into a standard USB port - it's tiny! I'm in two minds about a watch I got off Amazon, but then it's wound up (no pun intended) costing me nothing, so...  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

What is that, a HDMI port? And if so, what does it actually do?

Oh, sorry, it's micro-USB at one end, handy for tablets and phones alongside it's usual place in the laptop. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Ah, gotcha. Yes, very useful. Just there was nothing in the picture to scale it against  .

The new camera I bought (mentioned in another thread) certainly looks the part, and some gel pens, a small first aid kit and some Hula-Hoops all from the pound shop are top drawer _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Citroën C3 Exclusive 1.4, very nice. One of the wheel bearings was replaced, otherwise it is fine. Insurance is 50% less than my previous car, I'm saving over 400€ a year just on insurance. It looks like I'll be getting over 900KM out of the tank as well (same size tank as the Verso, which got just over 600). Not bad, going diesel to petrol! Even though diesel is much cheaper than petrol, I'm still saving money there, and it costs around 200€ less in tax.

Worst: Dashcams from Amazon that when arrive are inferior copies. Will be going back!

Camera bag - it'll be OK with a bit of sellotape on it (internal zip right above the camera's screen  ) £1 highball glass that my dad managed to drop but was thankfully OK - ironically it has a good grip at the base... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I've got the 1.4 Desire (56 plate) and have had it from new. Did you buy it new or pre-owned? Also, just ordered some perfume for the wife. We've been together for 15 years, but I still can't remember which brand she buys _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry I'll behave now.

Are you both factoring about 300€ of repairs per year on the car?

Pencils! The wood seems to come unstuck, the leads break inside and I just lose them.
Have you seen those ones where the wood has been replaced with a kind of pvc? Where do they come from and are they any better?
