It's a Deskjet F4200 all-in-one.
As soon as it started, I remembered that the HP Officejet 4100 did the same when I first got it. It was a really simple thing that fixed it, but I can't remember what it was :rolleyes:[/quote
Mines a Deskjet F2180.If you find out a solution can you let me know.Thanks.0 -
Morning all,
just a flying visit at the moment as got to nip out shortly!
Happy Birthday Squishy!! And also to SarahShattered (and welcome??)
EssexGirl, perhaps you could see if you could have a word with the Head or Teacher with this man present in school after the assembly - maybe that might point out a few facts to him? Otherwise I would consider phoning the police & say you would like some advice on how to handle this person who keeps turning up at your house (how does he know where you live?!?!) and is making you feel very intimidated, plus you are worried about repercussions for your son.

Went out with Charlie this morning, and met a lovely woman that we meet some mornings - she was out with her dog as well. We usually just have a quick chat, and then go our separate ways,but this morning her dog wanted to play with ours, so we walked together for a while.
While we were chatting she mentioned something, and I realised that I know here off here. I knew she lived close by, but we have never met before. We both just squealed and hugged each other.

Morning all!
Sunny again here! But strangely the washing seemed to dry quicker on hangers in the sitting room than out on the line, so got more stuff dangling from the curtain pole today - hope it's firmly attached lol!
BM going with a loaf - trying a sweetened milky loaf today, just put it on the dough setting, and will bake as breakfast rolls for tomorrow, well that's the plan, they might turn out vile! Have filled the moski with bolognese ingredients to turn into a lasagne later, was meant to be curry, but strangely don't really fancy that - must be ill, cos usually I could eat curry at any time! Have promised the kids something nice for pud, and as ds disappeared out the door he shouted back that he wanted something new - so need to have a think about that, got lots of lemons so might do a mousse if I can find some cream in the freezer.
Hoovered round and tidied, and loaded the dw, forgot to get one of the kids to do it last night, so still have more stuff in the sink - no sink shining for me yet! You only realise what a difference it makees when you don't do it and come down to a messy kitchen!
Got dd3's harvest festival service this afternoon, and think that's about the only plan for the day. Going to have a bash at finding you all on Facebook - be afraid, be very afraid lol! So if anyone wants to pm me with their real life names I shall add you - or try to anyway, otherwise redruby I shall be plaguing you for info!
Another coffee and a catch up now xx
Edit: post's arrived and phew what a relief! If anyone remembers me posting about a lady claiming I'd damaged her car, well my insurers have now appointed a solicitor for me, thank heavens cos getting forms to fill in from the court was sending me into a slight panic, not to mention the amount that the darn woman is claiming! Surely claiming the cost of the work plus her excess would mean that someone was getting paid twice anyway! Also received my new bank card, another relief as the old one expires at the end of this month, and it's chip is often unreadable in shops - slightly embarassing when it happens at work and I have to dash out to the cashpoint - always seems to work in there thankfully! Also got details of my shares at work, some mature tax free in February, so who knows, I might take the kids somewhere nice for a hol!GC Oct £387.69/£400, GC Nov £312.58/£400, GC Dec £111.87/£4000 -
Hi all
I'm new here but have been lurking a while! I love reading your meal ideas and cleaning tips. I always feel inspired to start cleaning when I read the flylady thread but as soon as I get up and look at the mess I loose motivation!
Im 27 and a new mum to a lovely 6 month old, chubby boy called Jack.
We are skint lately (as I expect many others are!) so I am hopefully going to pick up some really good tips here.
We currently spend £50 per week (2 adults 1 baby) on groceries including nappies, wet wipes & formula milk and I am hoping to be able to get that down a bit more.
Anyway hope you all have a nice day.
I will be having a quiet day and probably just gonna go to the park in the afternoon then relax later as OH cooks dinner and gives Jack his bath then puts him to bed on Friday nights so its my night off!:j

Morning everyone
sunny here so managed to get some washing out before came to work
Essex girl how awful for you this man sounds very intimidating turning up at your house, perhaps you could try and arrange a meeting today with the head teacher/ class teacher and both boys with yourself and the boys father it does need sorting he cant go round blaming your son for nothing if that fails as Squiddly suggests get the police involved (hugs to you)
DonnyGal thanks for link it does seem to be improving by next friday so hopefully will be nice, my parents are in Benalmedena
Happy birthday to everyone who is celebrating today

Morning everyone,
It's quite nippy tonight. Had some good rain early today. This morning I washed Benny & my hair although not together.DGS arrived about 9.30am and left at 5pm. We had a lovely day. Did some painting and went for a walk and after lunch played hospitals upstairs. He also used our bed for a boat and caught lots of fish.
I did a bit of sewing as well.
Tomorrow we're off to the mainland and should be home in the arv. Tea was leftovers from last night which was handy.
Squishy Happy Birthday :beer: I expect Twink sent you a box of hobnobs. :rolleyes:
Grimbo Green :wave: there is lot's of threads that will help you. But I used cloth nappies & used soft t-shirting & washers for wipes. That should cut prices down a bit. I know disposables & wet wipes are pricey.
catz Hope your day improves.
Haribo I'm still all ears.
Hope you all have a great day & <hugs> to those not well etc. ByeeeeeeeeeeeeeDon't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.0 -
Morning All :hello:
Am sooo tired today, have only had about an hours sleep cos Master Leon has decided that sleeping at night is really no fun at all and that it's very important that Mummy stays up with him alllll night :rolleyes:. Good job I love the little monkey.
So, plans for today are to snooze when I can, get out for a walk in the sunshine, cook HM corned beef pasties (from the freezer) for tea and that's about it. The house could do with a good tidy and my kitchen cupboards could do with sorting etc but I would much rather just spend some time with my little chap..so I'm gonna.
Hi Grimbo :hello:, nice to meet you.
Charlies-mum, that's such a co-inkydink, how weird! but a lovely story.
Jet77- completely get you about the parents descending on you when the house is a mess, am completely the same. Have decided recently though that if they don't like the state of my house they can just roll up their sleeves and give me a hand to tidy it :rotfl:
Hi to everyone else and hugs to all that need them,
Jess xx0 -
