    Binoculars

    I'm considering getting a better pair of binoculars to replace my very cheap pair. I've been looking at something like the Bushnell R3 10x42 at £100~ or the Bushnell Legend 10x42 which I can currently get for £126. But then I was also thinking, are there any older binoculars that are...

    I don't know what colour it's coming out as on your screen, I had to adjust the hue as it came out very blue in the photo when it's in fact closer to the Karrimor purple. It looks good on my laptop, but looks a very vibrant pink on my mobile phone, so either my laptop or my mobile phone has very...

    Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of the look of a bum bag on myself, and would feel self conscious out in public, I'll just keep it in my backpack until no ones around :lmao: I think it's going to be great for my camera, having easy and quick access to it.

    What did you buy today?

    I bought an Aiguille bum bag, a Vinted bargain. Often I've wondered if a bum bag could be useful for when out walking, especially for storing my mirrorless camera in, now I can try it out and see if I like it or not.

    Thank you, that's a massively helpful. One thing I often have plenty of, is time. We get our busy periods throughout the weekdays, but our very busy times are weekends. Through the week I often have a lot of time between serving customers to study. I know that with content creating, and how...

    Yes, I'm naturally slightly introverted. I need to go outside of my comfort zone, which I think always helps in other aspects of life, too. Thank you for the advice.

    Thank you, mate, you are spot on, I want to level up my knowledge and ability to run my own business, and while I'm doing that, I may as well get a certificate at the end of it to help with a change of career if I ever have to, fingers crossed, with a massive bit of luck, we will succeed in our...

    Yes, and my brain seem to go to mush, even though there's nobody actually watching me, just a camera. But I'm guessing, like anything, the more I do it, the better and the more confident I'll get at doing it.

    Yes, currently reading up on content creating, video editing, public speaking/story telling, and practicing speaking on camera, which doesn't come easy to me.

    Thank you, appreciated. Massive respect for anyone who builds something from scratch, the hours put in, and the emotional drain, it's definitely not easy. Not that I don't have respect for anyone who works hard. Our business has plateaued over the last couple of years, our sales and revenues...

    Thank you so, so much! I may have questions in future. It can be extremely helpful being able to talk to people with experience. Really appreciate it.

    Found this in my local book store last week, where every book is £1. Started it over the weekend and really enjoying it so far.

    Carry on, ask away. If you move to Wales, you'll get cheaper education. For example, Access module- Wales: £329 England: £973 --- I've spoken to a few people at OU today, including having a good chat with one of the business course teachers and I now know the path I'm going to take. I'm...

    That is interesting, I hadn't looked at B100. Will have a look at that, now.

    Thank you. Yes, that is correct, a small garden centre which is currently seasonal and who I do with my dad. There's basically two reasons why I want to do a degree in business. 1. It will help me run our current business, which we have invested dearly in, with both time and money, we've...

    I was initially looking to go to college, which would mean me physically attending classes either 1 day a week, 3 days a week, or 2 nights a week, but for me, OU seem ideal, as I have my own small business, a small garden centre, so I will get tonnes of time to study whilst I'm in work...

    Thank you Pattree, I think I do want to do an access course. For instance, I want to do a degree in probably business, and there are 9 different degrees in various business subjects. An access course will help me decide. Also, I was wrong, you do actually get 30 credits for the access course...

    The access course doesn't earn you any points, the access course I would go on would give me an introductory into business and law. It would also allow me some time to figure out exactly what I want to do, with the downside being it's an extra 30 weeks with no formal qualification or points at...
