    Some help required lovely readers.

    i I use gmail It is showing there is one unread email which I just cannot track down. In yahoo you can click on unread. Cant find a similar option on gmail. Can anyone suggest anything?

    ii I am involved in a small disabilty charity.
    They are going to fund a small printer for me to use at home.
    A nice easy basic for for idiots.
    Not more than about £55 approx.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    No suggestions on email, sorry, beanie - as far as the printer's concerned, I was with my brother when he bought a cheap new one last Christmas, at a big shopping centre place near Preston. Paid £40, and it does everything (I use it to scan family photos, and it does 1200 pixels, which is amazing! Takes forever, but I can literally carry on doing something else). It's Hewlett packard, if that helps.

    We got a HP wireless printer from Mr S. My DM bought it for us at about £25 as it was on offer. It prints, scans etc etc. Really useful as we can use it with both our computers.

    With any printer it's best to check the price of replacement inks before you buy the printer.....they do vary. Most wireless printers are now pretty fool proof and don't need a lot of setting up. Don't forget to look for some cash back too!

    Funnily enough have just bought an HP wireless printer from Mr S. £30 quid. Job done I hope. Reduced from 50.
    Too heavy to lug in from car so can stay there for the moment.

    Thanks everyone for all your help.

    Looking forward to today.
    A gathering of a big part of our clan.
    Although I have a very small family most of them live a long way away.
    So today most are gathering.
    So lucky to have a lovely family.
    Only problem is as more of them coming than originally expected there is no where for me to sleep at my mums.:eek: :rotfl:
