It was more along the lines of: Can I have a drink/tissue? I need to take my cardigan off/put it on Can I go for a toilet? I haven’t got the paper/book/work. Can I go and work with Mrs C (not even in school today). or my current favourite because it appears helpful but takes ages and drives me mad is to wander slowly yet purposefully round the classroom pushing every chair in very precisely! These children grow up to be adults who walk around holding a clipboard and looking at papers intently ... or they spend ages 'fixing' the photocopier 2 2 Quote

Panders Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Phew - how many times have you re-cycled Mr. S! Please pass on my best wishes. That's quite a few years being celebrated at Sunny Towers this weekend. Hope it all goes well. 3 Quote
Froglet Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Have a brilliant set of celebrations this weeken Sunnyday! Sounds brilliant. Happy Birthday to all. Bit of a weird week at work but it’s done now. Off to see The Full Monty tonight. Mostly work this weekend but I had an idea for sticky toffee madeleines and I have a friend in need of a bit of TLC so I might combine the two and deliver a surprise present. I’ve decided to start writing a weekly note to someone that goes snail mail. I’m going to start with my niece who sent me a lovely text on her mummy’s phone yesterday. I’ve treated myself to some pretty notepaper so I’m looking forward to that. 3 Quote

(I have actually brought a new one, but I had a load of inks left over from the broken one and I hate waste ) With the help of Youtube- and a lot of mocking from family and our techno wizard friend it is now in many pieces on the dinning room table and my hands are multi-coloured . I just need to put it all back together now...... 1 2 Quote
Panders Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Way to go, loubty loo - enough pieces left over to make a new one no doubt. We had to have a new printer just before that very special time in December (see what I did there?) Got it from Aldi in the end - £30, and delivered. Works very well, haven't had to buy any ink yet, came with ink in already have previously bought HP but this is a Canon. Printers are seriously more trouble than they are worth sometimes, but couldn't be without it. 2 Quote

Well sadly I took the whole thing to bits, cleaned the heads, I even managed to get it back together again (with not leftover bits- YAY )........ but it still doesn't print Still I've entertained friends and family for the weekend Tecno Wizard friend suggested I should have just bought an old printer for a fiver (same model) and used my inks up that way! 1 1 Quote

Cait Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) One of my printers stopped working many moons ago. It had been a great workhorse and I was really sad at its demise. My son was doing his PhD and making 3D printers at the time, so I offered it to him for scrap parts - gears and connectors etc. He began the process of unscrewing and chopping wires etc to get to the bits he wanted. It was only when he got to the paper rollers that we discovered a bank bag stuck between them! Aaargh! It's been the family joke ever since, after the 'switch it off and on again' to check for bank bags. It hadn't displayed paper jam or anything, so there was no way of knowing that's what it was! Sigh. An expensive error, but Alan got lots of good parts! Edited February 10, 2019 by Cait Sp 1 Quote
Panders Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Hmm - think printers are the devil's work! my last one had made the most incredible noises over the previous year when the carriage was "re-settling" itself, so when it just stopped printing a few weeks ago I was in little doubt as to what it was. If I could have taken a sledgehammer to it I would have been quite happy, as it was I took it off to the small appliances dump area and threw it in with great gusto! 1 Quote
Panders Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Change of topic - as ever - I found on BBC Iplayer a couple of days ago re-runs of the original Delia Smith Cookery course first shown 1978!! I remember recording it on our first ever vhs recorder back in the day. By today's standards its more like a home economics lesson, but do remember it being soooo helpful when I was just getting to grips with proper cooking. Edited February 10, 2019 by Panders Quote
