My Canon Digital IXUS 80IS

Not one of the best cams on the market but it's well made and very attractive. This can be found at the lower end of the IXUS range in terms of specification, features and price. However it is quite a good one for a buget buy or someone just wishing to experiment.

Price varies for this depending on retailer starting at around £139.99 to £219.00

I have had my camera a while but have only just started making real use of it.  I have been experimenting with the different features and find its even simple enough to use for someone like me who has no idea on gadgets and things.  The best thing on it so far is the self timer, a function I have used quite a bit over the last couple of days but am planning on using a lot more.

Not suitable for Vegetarians

Oh my dayz.... I have just found out that 'Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread' is not vegetarian. Arhhhh!!  NONE of the ingreadients stated on the packaging say NOT Suitable. In fact even the lecithins are stated as (Soya) but on further research...

Whey is one of the components which separates from milk after rennet (a byproduct of veal production) is added. Natural CALF RENNET is extracted from the inner mucosa of the fourth stomach chamber (the abomasum) of young calves.Meaning that whey can contain animal making it unsuitable for vegetarians.

From Nutella's official website:

Is nutella suitable for vegetarians ?
nutella is not suitable for vegetarians as it contains whey powder, which is made with rennet from an animal source. Whey powder is used in nutella because it gives the product a smooth, pleasant feel on the palate. Although we are always looking at ways of innovating and improving, the unique quality of nutella must always come first.

I say what a sad excuse! Even if they're not willing to make it vegetarian because it would change the texture, they should at least release a vegetarian or perhaps vegan version.

Cadbury's Chocolate Spread and Tesco's chocolate spread are both suitable for vegetarians.

Tattoos

My tattoos so far. I absolutely LOVE tattoos and I have 11 in total although not all of them are posted below.  I had my first one done around 15 years ago and it was not very well done, and is now covered up.  The original one was a rose bud but is now a swallow.  The second cover up I had is of  a butterfly covering up a name.  I would love to extend the one on my back to come around shoulder and the top of my arm.

 This rosary bracelet was a matching one me and my daughter had done together at a turning point in our lives.  The original one was of just the main crucifix and the chain but a friend of mine added the other crosses at my request as it was looking a little bare.

 The bracelet part follows all the way around my wrist.

"Courage Comes Through Suffering" This I had done to remind me that nothing in life is easy and that the knocks in life are the important ingredients that make us (me) the person I am today.

Just because I liked it and believe it looks better on my finger than a ring lol 

 These 3 stars are to resemble my 3 beautiful daughters who are the stars in my life.

 I have 2 matching tattoos, one on each foot and have to say these were probably the most uncomfortable ones to get done.

I love this one and this was a gift from my daughter who not only designed it but took me to get it done for my 40th birthday. 

Radha * Alisha * Aliya the names of my daughters. 

This is a cover up for the original messed up rose bud.
