While I am trying to sort out Everything Ever in my life I am researching my bills and how to reduce them. Therefore am thinking of going on to Virgin for my mobile and taking up their "4 for £40" offer which gives me basically The TV, broadband and landline I am already paying £40.50 for, plus a mobile, which would save me the £26 I pay Orange every month. However I want to keep my number and would have to (presumably) get the Treo unlocked so it works with the new Virgin SIM. Does anyone out there know how to do this?

With Virgin I have a choice of phones:

Samsung E250

Samsung J600

Nokia 5200

Sony Ericsson K510i

Is it worth getting any of them? Or should I go for the phoneless offer and carry on using my Treo? The Treo is playing up a bit and I mostly have to use the hands-free now. The phoneless package gives you 300 minutes and 300 texts a month which is more than I'll ever use, whereas the one with a phone gives 100 of each, which is also more than I currently use...

Can anyone recommend an electrician? One that turns up when they say they will for favourite... (it's not an emergency.)

I now have a flickr account (guess what it's called...), plus I've upload some bird pictures in my LJ scrapbook. The question is, which do people prefer, and how big should the pictures be - in Mb and pixels, as I'm sure mine are miles too big but I may just be out of date...

I wish to buy a digital camera with a lot of optical zoom for photies of birds and other things. I do not want to spend more than £150. I was thinking of this one Fuji FinePix S5700 Digital Camera (7.0MP, 10x Optical) 2.5" LCD purely cos I saw in reduced in Jessops and Amazon have it even cheaper (which is not to say cheap). Does anyone have any others to recommend/warn against or notes of things I should think about?

But *why* haven't I got Night on a BearBare Mountain?

1. Does anyone know where I can obtain a current Snapfax?
2. Does anyone have a 20" bass drum I can borrow (optimism) or know where I can buy one for less than full price? Processionals use kit drums with the extraneous metal gubbins stripped off, and a second hand one would do fine...
3. How can I tell whether I look sufficiently different from my last passport that I need someone to sign my photo again?
4. And if so do I know anyone who is allowed to sign it?
5. What does the acronym above mean?
