Should I start to…..

…..think about Christmas?

Well not the religious side of it anyway as you all know that I don’t care about that (sorry sandal wearing god types) , but the important side of Christmas. The important side being, what can I buy myself.

Money is the usual constraint, Mom and Dad will give me about £100, so that’s the starter. I was thinking about a new external HDD, but to be honest that’s such a crap thing for Christmas. After unwrapping it the excitement of new storage isn’t quite as good as something you can actually use.

So gadgets, what’s left for me to have? Plenty of gadgets, and indeed the lovely Suzi Perry, the less lovely (for blokes) Jason Bradbury and Ortis Deley have been pimping enough gadgets to make my wallet break. But really still no idea what to get, or even why I need them. I could be prudent and keep the money, but that’s not me. Never has been, probably why I owe a bit to Barclaycard. Oh well.

Anyway back to gadgets, anyone who knows me knows I’m into photography and have a liking for Apple stuff.
But what and where, camera wise there’s really nothing I need – well a 1D MkIII or IV or a 5D MkII would be nice, but they’re 2k plus so that’s them out. I could go down the accessories route. But again I have pretty much all I need.

As for Apple stuff, well my next MacBook is probably going to be funded by Aviva (unless their re-attribution payment is lower than the minimum payment they said I’d get).

So I’m stuck for ideas. I’m even toying with scrapping the idea of a Macbook and getting an iMac – and I hate all in one desktop solutions!
