    Gonzo, I agree about PC World, I paid them £40 to get rid of a virus from my first computer, they said it was gone and it wasn't. I wasn't a happy bunny. Would you say to avoid them for everything, or are they ok to buy stuff from? I want a wireless printer in a few months.

    I'm not going to make it to pool, this cold is making me feel crappy. Going to Tesco with sister sometime today, cos it's the last day of their offer on Magners.

    I emailed the OU last night about my economics tutor, hopefully they can do something, ideally give me another one, I'm happy to travel further to tutorials. I'm also thinking about asking for special consideration for the politics course, cos of the way I've been having loads of panic attacks and stuff. I need to find out though if they need a GP letter (which will cost me £13.50) or if one from my support worker will do, after all she sees me more often and knows more about how I've been.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    auch, really things like getting rid of a virus for £40 is shocking, when you can get programs for free and do it yourself. but hey we live and learn

    as to buying a printer, i would say look at them for the price as they do sometimes have some very good deals, but make sure you look elsewhere as well. even places such as tesco/asda direct, ebuyer, amazon dont just walk into pc world and buy the one they have.

    also something to look into is cost of printing (ink/toner) and read some online reviews to get an idea of how quickly each printer uses its ink and how good the prints are

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
