Plan accepted, on the premise I sell the gear first. So... errr... it looks like I'm upgrading to the 5D3. That was quick!

Steve I agree with you 100%! I was putting this together for Loz as a bit of a joke, please don't feel like I would put that pressure on her already, but thank you for your words of wisdom mate. We're extremely open and honest with each other and this was purely an exercise to show that I have put some thought into it.

I'm still tossing up between the 24mm and the 35mm so any thoughts would be much appreciated. I agree the 35mm would be a nice walkaround, just tossing up whether I'd prefer to have something wider for shots of the night sky or a good walkaround. I suspect the latter...
