I have One of these or something very similar the batteries and charger might push your budget a little but It produces a lot of light for the money, it's considerably cheaper than when I bought it. The shape is a little awkward for my other half to hold as its quite wide (similar dimensions of a 330ml can)Another complaint is that the "tactical" front is sharpish and could damage things if you're not careful where you place it.

That looks good and has the decent 18650 batteries that can be placed in a 2/3/4 formation, I would get this, spend a bit of money on the batteries (£5-10 each) then get a charger.

The seats in the camper, when folded into a bed are not as comfy as I'd like, so I bought somewhere comfy to sleep...

Not seen one of these before, who is the manufacturer?

[jimmyjimjim]

Potentially.

I don't need a new wallet or a card holder, but I was passing the store in Canary Wharf yesterday....

Oops. Just accidentally bought a Hubsan X4 H107C



£38 inc Amazon Prime delivery. Not quite as cheap as it was in the Lightning Deal last week that I missed out on but only a fiver more.

Should be delivered on Saturday. Hopefully I won't have broken it by Sunday. But at least crash packs are very cheaply and readily available.
I know it's just a toy but it looks like a laugh and it's not going to break the bank at that price.

I've got a Hubsan ^^

Get some empty space and engage expert mode and it will do somersaults and flips and whatnot.

I'm in no way an expert. I just twiddle the sticks and then try to stop it crashing.

Much fun.

It's not a wallet, it's a billfold.

Looks like a good update on the generic Fine Offset weather stations that are sold under various names (including Maplin).

If you get it then be sure to check out the freeware Cumulus software by Sandaysoft as it is invariably better than the software that ships with things like this.

Edit: A quick google from that Amazon link suggests that the WS3083 is also Fine Offset. I guessed it would be from the instrument pack, although the UV sensor is new. Mine is the much older Fine Offset WH1081

Was walking past the bose outlet store in bicster shopping outlet the other day and they had one of the soundlink minis on demo, it had stupidly good depth of sound and clarity for such a small device so i of course decided i needed one!

However since i bought ive found that i use it quite a lot, handily it connects to my mac via bluetooth and even to my little crappy tablet to make watching films away from home much better.

If I do get it, it may well be an excuse to finally get a Raspberry Pi to leave it Internet-connected, and log data to Weather Underground.
