    Nah, it seems to have soaked into the skin :rotfl:

    On the plus side I have locked my Irn Bru APGs on my phone for printing tomorrow. :money:

    I might open a can tomorrow to wash down the hat I'm going to have to eat (I can't believe they went through the tills at 2 for £2 afterall :o)

    Great, just re-filled an ink cartridge and got black ink all over my hands :(

    Turns out I didn't close the cap properly last time :o

    No need for the :o - have you tried it while being autistic?:o:o Virtually always spill something or forget something.

    In fact, that's my exaggeration - occasionally I forget, you know, first time in a long while, perhaps taking the sticky label thingy (whatever it's called:o) off and then putting my finger onto it will be fine (ink all over the place:rotfl:), then I try to minimise it and end up with even more ink on both me and the carpet:o:eek:, but at least next time I held the ink cartridge (with fine dexterity:rotfl::rotfl:*) at arm's length:rotfl:. Not always easy with the most subtle, extremely slight lack of dexterity problem. [I'd pass as normal on that to most people's eyes, but - ever so slightly - while that itself isn't so much as to be a "disability" - it's a little bit less than average. Like holding a potato between my fingers and trying to peel it (I prefer the SP Peeler as that just rips the skin off to shreds:) - much easier for me, though I suspect most people prefer the 'proper' peelers that peel properly and hold the potato between their fingers/thumbs in the 'right' way) but every other potato^ slips out of my hands and goes flying:rotfl::rotfl:.] Not, as they put it, "Mr P.E.".

    * Roll-arounds as I'm joking and it's the opposite of the truth: in fact have to concentrate very hard, and think actively to do it, in order to keep it between my fingers/thumbs and not lose my grip of it. No dexterity at all me. (But not literally!)
    ^Again, not literal but a bit of an exaggeration.

    Goodnight folks!! Love to speak with you again later.:):):wave:

    I went on a scanning spree in Ts tonight :D in fact I was in there so long I was getting some irate texts from my OH :o:D.....well I was feeling rebellious ;), no I really did lose track of time.

    CHECK THE SOFT DRINKS AISLE NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN!

    I got a trolley full of RTC drinks with good dates on.....ocean spray bottles and cartons, Ribena cartons, Ts own brand squash, five alive cartons, fancy lemonade and ginger beer, various types of grape juice. The most I paid for anything was 74p They had loads. As I said, all good dates so must be discontinued stock so worth a look.

    Don't know if anyone remembers me posting about the fab pencils that my son uses for school? Stabilo ergo something? Well they are usually about £7.25 in Ts but the packs with the sharpener are scanning at 10p. They come in pink and blue and left or right handed. Sorry for old pic (it's late) it's the one on the right. An absolute godsend for children with poor pencil control/fine motor skills
