    Would this one be any good? It's a desktop one for under £3 & gets decent reviews.

    Plodding on.
    Tumbling around.
    Anyway.
    How are you?
    Is that you about done?


    Done ... in the process of getting dusted and finalising things ... we've started celebrating and having loads of visitors but working at getting back to some semblance of normality

    An MSE report - I had a 99 ice cream on Sunday and it came with 2 flakes (maybe it was a 198?) so delicious and obviously good value!
    Glad doors are ordered - small top up to door fund made. Baby steps ....

    I have been told ( but never actually tried this) that u can take phone/camera etc to Asna / bo6ts etc along with cable and apparently it gives you a step by step process ... you pick size etc and they print it off for you, allegedly it's quite cheap, I haven't done this so can't say if it is the case or not but have been reliably informed it is ( have some pics myself that need doing )

    elantan is correct - just take the phone/camera/cable along to the shop and find the machine. often there will be staff to help but of not it does give a step by step guide.
