    You must have got a lot of pens for £1-£2 as most of mine were only 10p each including branded names eg Papermate, Pilot Stabilo etc:D

    Went to Coventry store today, not much left, picked up optical mouse (corded) for £1, cd racks £1, madesafe child protection software 50p, labtec stereo headset (very good one) for £2 and a bunch of small things
    salesman told me sales been going on for 3 days, and a top spec PC sold for £370, laptops sold for half price, and 15" tft monitor's selling for £50
    they stil got digital cordless phones for £30, HP 5.1mp digital camera for £99

    But Im gutted, missed out on all the good things

    Shopping Tips
    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

    The salesman knew the prices as I expect he bagged the stuff himself

    Been in to the Liverpool store today and nothing left there really either. A few packs of pens left for 50p. Salesman there said they started selling everything off at the end of last week _pale_ . Gutted!

    i've just ordered the camera and have just read on a review that it has a lithium battery, is this a good thing as i normally use the nimh ones, does it hold the charge for long and can you buy replacements?

    any advice would be much appreciated, all in all it has a good spec for the price, just not sure about the battery

    suzanna

    sorry to be a pain if this is a silly question but can i use normal nimh batterys instead or does it just take the lithium ones??

    Suzanna,

    Lithium batteries, Lithium-Ion [Li-Ion] or Lithium Polymer [newer], are better that NiMh.
    Lithiums dont suffer ANY memory problems. Usually have higher storage capacity for same size; usually.
    Thats why 99% all new mobile phone come with Li-Ion.

    OK?
