    anyone recommend a good printer?

    someone on other non coupon thread asking.

    I use HP but you have to do double sided manually and it doesn't always work for me.

    We've got an Epson SX425W and I definately WOULD NOT recommend that!!

    Morning All! :)

    No school run today - hurrah!

    Have come across what appears to be a great deal at Jessops. If I buy a camera for, say , £60, I can get 3 years warranty which includes accidental damage for £15. Seems a really good idea for DD's first camera. Anyone had any experience of this? I enquired with the warranty company if I could cover a camera purchased elsewhere and they quoted £42. Wish I'd bought other DD's camera at Jessops now.

    Thanks sinw - yes will use TCB online, but no - house insurance wouldn't cover it as we only have basic cover :)

    CW - basically I have my settings so that I can see 40 posts per page.

    BUT I have my settings upside down, this means instead of going to the last page for the most recent post, I get the most recent post on the first page.
