    Depends what you deem to be cheap.

    I've just bought one off Ebay for ?41, 256mb and smaller than a credit
    card, includes the facility to record things, has an FM radio (that you
    can record from should you wish to) and looks really neat.

    Didn't you get stung for tax on the one from China?

    Just bought my daughter a 128mb pikey one on ebay from China for £15. Good
    little thing, does what she wants.
    I was going to borrow it for my running but I can't get all the tracks on
    that I want (I'm up to running 9 miles on Sundays and two sets of 5 in the
    week).
    Anyone got any reccommendations for a light, cheap Mp3 player?

    BTW, I've entered the Southend 10K for October 3rd.
    I have now lost a total of 4 and a half stone!

    That'll do
    No, and it was clearly marked. I bought a memory stick from the US at the
    same time. 2x128Mb for £30!
    No tax on that either.

    Yeah but for another £40 I can get a Creative one that's £30Gb
    Ta, we took the kids to the fair tonight and my wife was looking for me, she
    didn't recognise me from the back. She had to peer round at my face before
    she realised.

    I do have another dilema. I promised myself that as a reward I'd get another
    bike when I reached 15 stone. At 21 stone it seemed a long way off. Now I
    only have a stone and a bit to go, I've started to think about it. My last
    road bike was a 98 fireblade. I'd love another one, but with a big weight
    difference I'm starting to look at smaller capacity and cheaper bikes.
    If I got a CBR600 for example, would I want for a blade in a few weeks? Or
    would the new lack of weight be enough for me to feel the difference.
    I really felt the difference on my MX and enduro bikes, like really scary
    hight off the jumps!

    A 30gb one would have a hard drive and hence be quite heavy for running.

    My 60gb Creative weighs the same as my tape walkman.

    HD based ones are probably more likely to skip when running, though.

    A tape walkman is also too heavy for running.

    My CD walkman gives me arm ache on longer runs and feels strange when I hold
    it in my left hand.

    Finding out after 31 years that I have a wheat intollerance helped a lot.
    If I eat a spoonful of pasta, I swell up and put on 4-5 pounds overnight.
    And apples, 2 apples and I will put on a few pounds!
    It's just finding out what foods gain weight for you.
    And I must say that the 'A' word diet does help especially in the OWL stage.
    Dr. A is helping loads as an appetite suppressent.
    Enduro and MX racing.
    And finally, running.

    Though I liked my CBR, I did always want to trade up to a litre-bike.
    First the insurance was horrendous, then by the time insurance had
    come down, I'd spent a few quid on it and didn't want to lose it. So
    I thought I'd keep it for a track bike and get a litre bike for the
    road. Which is, kind of, what I'm doing (if you remove space and time
    from the concept of "doing").
