I own a USB endoscopic camera, but I can't find it. Any ideas on how to find it, apart from buying a replacement, which is sure to work.

Perhaps you left it where ever you last used it...have you found it uncomfortable to sit down recently?









If so perhaps you left it under your sofa cushion.

I have 3 pairs of shoes, my day to day almost flat ones, my fit flops and a pair of court shoes for smart (not worn yet - my newest pair as my old ones died)

Youngest dropped off at uni, had a call when we were halfway home and he is struggling with his anxiety, both general and social so will probably spend the night worrying about him.

I feel I have to add, in my own defence, regarding my shoe 'thing', that, unlike a lot, if not most women, I spend virtually nothing on make-up!
I haven't worn make-up regularly for years.

Before I left the AmDram group, I did have to buy some to use on stage, even foundation, which I had never worn before in my life!
However, when I left, I binned it all! (Can't give away second-hand make-up!)
I also spend very little on perfume, as I can never find one that doesn't give me a headache. I do use perfume, but it's a compromise........finding the one that least offends me! (The one perfume that I could wear, and absolutely loved and loved........ they discontinued it.:()

I also spend next to nothing on handbags. Up to £10, or less from a charity shop, and not leather, as it makes the bag too heavy. One handbag will last me for years and years until it falls apart.

Plus I own no 'designer' clothes. I very rarely buy clothes new from shops; most of my everyday clothes are from charity shops.

So, end of 'confession'! :rotfl: :rotfl:


Out of interest, what are other NP's spending 'weaknesses'?
(I promise I won't tell Martin!).

Stuff for the garden - never had one before, the work I did last year in the veggie beds appears to have paid off and the bug's really bitten

Garden for me too but it does look lovely, is my haven from day to day stuff all year round so worth it. I saw in the garden centre yesterday that you can now buy weatherproof miniatures to build village scenes and the like. Am pondering where I might build something like this now.

Make up £0
Designer clothes £0
Handbags £0, but I do have a rucksack.
Perfume £0

But I have about 15 pairs of trainers. I am very reluctant to throw them away, even when worn out.

Make up - mid range brand
designer clothes - nil
handbags - I have 3 designer ones, one large for day trips, one for every day (literally) and one tiny one. All bought in outlet mall sales
perfume - I watch for sales of my favourite
Shoes - too many sandals, a few pairs of flats, couple of pairs of trainers/sketchers comfy shoes. A few pairs of smart shoes, some flip flops.

Just planted out winter pansies this weekend, slightly concerned they may grow too fast and look dangly by the time it gets cold.

What about, instead of perfume, after-shower splash stuff and aftershave, (which some men wear even if they have a beard?)

As regards bags, I would prefer more pockets in things.
One of my most favourite pairs of trousers are cargo pants, with pockets on the legs as well as the usual side ones. That means that if I wear those, I can often go out without a shoulder bag.



Looks like shoes are winning across the sexes!:)
