The last 2 printers we have got was because it was cheaper than buying ink, shocking really.
Modern printers are a ripoff. Still using a HP Laserjet 4000. Must be getting on for 20 years old. Built like a tank. (Did have to replace the paper pickup rollers a few years back).
Toner cartridges are reasonable, and last years.

Honda Jazz advert, not sure if it's the music, the images or the car itself but I don't think I've ever seen an advert that makes me less likely to buy a car!

Local authority deciding that the local leisure center pools will not reopen on the 25th, only the gym areas and squash etc. The cynic in me says its all down to profit.

So I have just joined the local David Lloyd place on a 3 month 'deal' as its the only way I can pool swim anytime soon and have a race in 9 weeks...

yup - the skies start clearing and the pressure goes up - and up come the ants. I wondered why I had a flock of starlings on my lawn (burnt scrap of grass) earlier.

Been fairly irritated with myself and the world in general today...

When I went up to bed last night and turned over, to sleep, I heard what I thought was a baby crying or some animal calling out... Chose to ignore it and went to sleep... When I woke, a few hours later, (to take a leak) I thought I could still hear same/similar crying out... After taking leak I went downstairs and stood outside my front door... After a few minutes I realised what I could hear was my elderly neighbour calling for help... With only a pair of crocs and undercrackers on I went to neighbours door and called through letterbox asking what was up... She replied, very tearfully and in some notable pain, she'd fallen down the stairs... Returned home to alert herself and get a few more items of clothing on... We went back, let ourselves in and quickly assessed we needed professional help... Although between us we did manage to untangle our lovely neighbour and administer as much reassurance as possible... Took an age for help to arrive (over two hours)… To be absolutely fair to the paramedics they were spot on with the tender care they provided for neighbour just wish they could've been on the scene quicker... Some, a lot, of the blame lying with me if only I'd taken way more notice earlier... The upshot is, the old girl had broken her femur, in the fall, and I suspect it's going to be long road of recovery...

Been properly hateing the world today...

Dont be too hard on yourself, youre the one who did realise what it was and get her help, it could have been a lot worse if you hadnt!

There's the thing... Been trying to tell myself that all day and her sister has been telling me I shouldn't be so upset with myself as well... Think it's partly been to do with my own long road back after my own fall... And, understanding how tough it will be for her...

I would feel the same BUT you did go and help and many would still have continued to ignore the noise...
