I offered mine twice with no takers and finally put it into the British Heart Foundation Furniture and Electrical shop.(so far no ones replied to my offer of electronic typewriter on freecycle
)
Couldn't dump it and at least if they can't sell it I won't know, if that makes sense.0 -

Have cleared out the dreaded next corner on my list.............dads walking sticks -why so many ?? and got plant trough out ready to paint -that doesn't look any different (methinks I'm going to have to buy more paint and don't know what colour !!!)
So now I wish I'd never started..............in the middle of my little room I've got the plant trough stood on newspaper, and a cupboard I thought I'd better have a go at as well and that's looking c***...............I've made more mess than there was to begin with
Do I stop now..............or just have a pause for thought and carry on ????Mary

Ebay results please Pigpen?
Mary, most photo places should be able to handle transferring old slides to digital. Do you have a Jessops? I'd take them back and enquire again, things have moved on and there may be a new way to handle whatever the problem was then. Are they card mounted slides?
I've started going through some negs but got called away to help a family member with something else, so done nothing really today. Will make up for it tomorrow.
Pressure washer gone though, they turned up on the dot to collect it 0 -
missyg what a transformation.Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0
