THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

Hang in there Marina. I can imagine your DH loving the instruments.

Unfortunately that's the downside of having holidays Marina, welcome home and I'm glad you both enjoyed the trip.

[Bedlam]

You will get there Marina, we always do. Sounds like it was worth it.
Wallet sounds great Gert.

Re the card holder Gert, I have been trying to find the details of the scanners they are using to get CC details.  Have found this on the news site today   I was told  some time ago technology was available to scan your card in your purse /wallet to get certain details of it.

Good one Emme. I had heard of someone who thinks his card was scanned at an airport.  Would be pretty easy to do with the crowds. I guess scanning  the cards would not be such a big deal as stealing them  which is a pain in the butt but why not take precautions anyway I say.

You ladies are frightening me. I'm going to wrap mine in alfoil. I hardly ever use mine so the bank would get a shock if it was used., I hope.

It is scary stuff alright. I may have to look into getting one of those wallets.

I bought one of the wallets for our 8'week o/s trip last year. Gave us peace of mind

It is really very clever. Holds 6 and you can take the money clip off.

Did you buy the silver one or a coloured one Gert.  Why are the coloured ones cheaper, don't they protect the cards like the silver one?

They are exactly the same except the finish. I bought the black one and have un clipped the money clip as I have no need for it.

Thanks Gert.

I just ordered a silver one and a black one - one for myself and one for my sister.  Looking forward to seeing and comparing them.

I will also be interested to know the difference in them Marina as I cannot understand why one finish is so much more expensive than the other.

It is all about the marketing Judy. The silver is more desirable perhaps. Mine is silver on the front with a Matt black different material on the back which may be better as it is not as slippery slidey and unlikely to shoot out of your pocket or handbag. I took the money clip off bu,t it would be useful for clipping the thing onto an inside pocket .

I tend to think you are completely correct, Gert, but will let you know my thoughts when they get here.
