Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

In other news I have wrestled with the printer which is now a bit slow, not connected to the new laptop & I have cancelled the instant ink from HP & so can no longer use the ink in it(!!) into the spare room. I have put it on our local helping hands page. If no one wants it then it can go to the electrical skip at some point.

I had a dispute with HP over the instant ink last year when mine dried up from lack of use. After much debate they agreed to send out new cartridges. I rarely print anything off and they’ve just put the monthly cost up to £1.49 so debating whether it’s really worth it.

All a con. 

They have had a lot of money from me over the years. The minute you cancel you can’t even use the ink in the blooming printer. Bah.

I'm glad you managed to get a different appointment.
is your snow gone yet? We had a bit of frosty/icy stuff that looked like a thin layer of snow but no real snow thank goodness.

That's ridiculous and wasteful!  I've thought about switching to it before, but shall carry on just buying cartridges as and when needed.

Glad you got your appointment rescheduled.

We had a system like that Beanie but recently changed to an eco tank which we thought would be better value. gave the old printer to my niece and she was able to either just buy a cartridge as and when or take up the monthly payment system if she wanted.

I massively resent Instant Ink too but as I only print anything about every six months I figured it's still cheaper than replacing the ancient printer and buying yet more ink.  I'd feel uncomfortable being unable to print at all as when I do need something it's generally bank related or otherwise critical, so not things I'd want to wait for the library or to have to drive to a friend I trust with seeing my details. 

Glad you got your appointment sorted Beanie.  And I hope there is some more your surgery can do to save you trips in bad weather.

A friend toddled to farmfoods to get the Whiskas cat food which was on offer. Sadly they had none. Apparently there is a risk with Felix as good as it looks of stomach tumour. So that is very much off the list for the moment.
