How nice am I?

[leeanne]

I want a good, almost professional digital camera for Christmas but I know my OH and he'd spend a lot of money on a new top-of-the-line camera and I don't want him spending that much money. So I haven't asked him for one.

But...

Been looking in Craigs list all morning and found the camera I want for a good price

Probably sending him into downtown Vancouver today. LOL

Top of the line cameras tend to have features that you will never use and take up 90% of the cameras menu then you have to read the instructions 10 times lol

Nothing wrong with finding one you like

You're so kind!! Glad you've found one you like x

But he didn't go out yesterday.........so it could have been sold.

Wobbles, this one is a beginner professional digital camera. I want to start taking portraits of my own kids and eventually venture out into perhaps a small business

Oh nice lucky you!!
I have a beginners Digital SLR and well there are soooo many features and functions that I have noooo idea how to use them or what they do lol..and the manual doesn't really explain much! Thank goodness for online tutorials on how to use it lol
Glad you found one you like for much cheaper! Gotta love craigslist!

 

[princess_bump]

sounds a fab idea leeanne, hope you get the camera you love x

 

[leeanne]

I give up. Not looking on craigs list no more. By the time he does go out, which isn't today either, they'll be sold.

So, if he wants to buy it brand new...go for it.

^^

 

[Mamafy]

its his own fault

 

[leeanne]

^Agree.

Then, of course, he will say I am spoiled after.

Kind of like when he says I was spoiled because I have a hot tub...where it was him who went on and on about getting one for weeks. Or a massage chair a few Christmas' ago that he went on about for 5 years prior...but, of course, I am the spoiled one. ROFL!

 

[sam's mum]

Typical man ...love the way they try to make themselves look generous when they buy things we know they've wanted for years x

 

[leeanne]

OH went out with Amanda yesterday. He called me at one point. "The camera you want. Do you like Sony?"

And I know he went and spent over a grand on it because of his next phone calls.

And I know he got me Sexual Fresh perfume as I asked for it.

But he bought me others.

Came home and said I was spoilt this year. LOL

Ok, I was gonna save you money on the camera, but you wanted to get me a brand new one. I won't complain

 

[Mamafy]

well done to your oh hun

 

[leeanne]

Yes, the one thing he does listen when I say I want something. Have to give him credit for that
