Being normal is very overrated

I am normal, SSM's quiz said I was so it must be true.

Has anyone ever worked out the cost of printing an APG?

Depends on printer, of course, but this

gives a rough guide of 1p-2p per page printed.

I will go back to work one day but I took time out to be a stay at home mum and then with elderly parents went straight into caring without a break. Giving myself a well deserved break now.

Must admit I am bit scared about going back to work like Rhosynbach said she is. It is frightening going into the unknown my skills are now obsolete. I worked in IT pre windows. :eek: :rotfl:

I had a letter from my civil service pension the other week, I think I mentioned it on here? After fathoming it all out and making a phonecall it seems it suggests that I can retire at 50 and have my preserved pension :eek: :eek: that's only 5 years away
Obviously there are other implications to 'retiring' that early and it's not on my agenda right now. But the thought that I could be saying 'I'm retired' in 5 years is very sobering :eek:

......even 'semi-retired' sounds old :rotfl::rotfl:

The fact that you did a quiz that SSM suggested, in itself says otherwise

And how are you getting on with Windows 8?

I bought a new laptop last week but can't bring myself to turn it on :rotfl:

I really should....at least so that I'm ready for any safecoupons that turn up :money:

Well I haven't updated to 8.1 yet. Just because have read it takes a while to do the updates.

But I am actually getting on with it fine I use the screen with the apps on and actually quite like it. Both my girls who have Win 8 use it in desktop mode. I don't have touch screen but find it easy enough to move around using the touch pad now. :T

The worse bit was making everything on the screen go big by accident, took me ages to suss how to squeeze everything in again. :rotfl:
