Need better than Spy cam / Lighter cam - Suggestions?

Hi,

 

I bought one of those lighter-spy-cameras and it's great: Video is terrible but I don't really need that - sound is sensitive enough to pick up everything if it's in a shirt-front pocket, but that's not always possible.

 

Except... the battery has failed after maybe twenty cycles.

 

It cost under 10GBP so what was I expecting?

 

Does anyone have specific suggestions (make/model) for something small that will last a lot longer without breaking the bank?

 

I'm not trying to 'SpyCam' anyone. I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD and, in the past, I've failed to remember key parts of encounters / meetings with various people SO many times which has led to failed business ventures - really small stuff but failed anyhow.

 

I really need to record more of my life so I can relax while I'm doing it and go over it later, taking proper notes.

 

I can't afford a £300 super-dicataphone but obviously £10 isn't enough to spend.

 

I really need help here...

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
