Nikon D40 SLR - discount and cashback

Nikon D40 cashback

Just bought a Nikon D40 SLR camera from Amazon UK. They currently, at the time of writing, have it at £276.07 + delivery. That is a pretty good price anyway. I think they must have dropped the price as they have brought out the D40x, but I just wanted to start off with a dSLR without spending too much money.

When I bought it the cashback offer wasn't that clear on the page. It was only when I say a Jessops advert in the paper that I thought I bought it too early and missed out on the cashback offer. I looked at the dates and my luck was in. The offer ends 30th June 2008, with last claims to be received by 31st July.

The offer also appies to D60 and D80 camera kits.

That makes the Nikon D40 I got around £246, which isn't bad at all.

Hurry up before they go.

La Tasca - goodbye

I have just come to my very last visit to a La Tasca establishment. If you are going to do Spanish tapa as a bar and restaurant, then do it properly for God's sake.

Me and Stu

I have managed to get some more photos from Stuart.

These now include the lobster tomfoolery, if you missed out on all that. We had our own little party in the kitchen.

Ha, so much for a quiet night in

the big 4-0

OK, in the end I didn't get my rack of lamb and my nice bottle of red wine but what I did get was a surprise party at home, although watching Guy and Laura turn up in their car just as I was getting into the house nearly gave it all away.

Those pesky people at work had me believing they were all heading off home and so on.

Thanks everyone. It was a really good night - Champagne, vodka, absinthe and whisky (although most of the 12 year old Glenlivet ended up on the floor) made for a lively birthday party.

Not so sure about the 10 minute defrosted (if that) lobster and dim sum at 11pm.
