My first one was £10 from Currys Scaredy, it was actually in the sale many years ago. I then got a Sony thing for £70 which I loved but I gave it up when I had my accident. Now I have a Touch.

If you don't mind updating the songs weekly/having a small memory something like this would do Its like my first, its a usb stick and works using a drag and drop system.

It may also be worth droping into Currys etc and having a feel for them and what you would like. You don't need to buy from there as they are usually cheaper online from places like Amazon/Play etc.

thanks Pap, i would need to load music from my lappy. Or get one with a radio as well.

The one I linked was a 'classic' mp3 player so it would all need to be loaded onto the player. If you wanted to listen to the radio you can buy ones with it built in but they are more expensive. The way I used to listen to radio shows on my mp3 player was through downloading them, although they were then a day behind.

Sounds good to me Scaredy, I always take my ipod with me when I take Dolby out alone. Generally thats because I am running and it has my running tracks on it. However if I am just walking it's nice to listen to something, it also helps me keep pace whcih means more distance covered and more calories burned :T

Good luck with it when you decide to buy one

night Buffy,

Pap, i don't mind paying £30 ish for one, as long as it's decent. I need to do something, it's so easy to just get stuck in a rut of staying in and watching tv or being online.

i've been thinking about gettiing a bike as well.

Scaredy I think any of the 'big' named ones are good but it depends on your software/needs. My first was unbranded and I never had any problems with it for 2 years. Its a personal thing, compare them and look at them in the flesh and then decide.

I am with you regarding the tv/online thing. It's certainly easy to lose many hours doing nothing interesting/rewarding. Its the classic couch potatoe vs moving more

Ohhh good luck with that. I would love to ride again but my bike needs reparing and I can't afford a new one. At the momment two legs are good enough :rotfl:

i've looked on ebay and gumtree, you can get bikes for about £40-£50.
