No @milann - bog standard punnets - if they had been sprinkled with a bit of gold leaf, we might have understood!🤣

I suspect they’ll sit on the shelves until they shrivel…….

Funnily enough there were two punnets of each all sitting in a bigger box so it looked like people had been buying them!  Obvious lottery winners!🤣

Some folk have more money than sense….

Re your printer - what out for the price of the ink cartridges, they are often more expensive than the printer.

Re the printer. We have a wireless one and we sspend more time trying to get ot to communicate with the laptop. Much preferred my simpler old style one. I wanted to copy some forms recently and ended up taking them to the local printing shop…..less hassle 😳😂

Thanks  @badmemory and @milann. 

I've been looking at small printers/scanners online and the Epsons have good reviews. I may go on the tech board and see if anyone there has any recommendations. 

@milann - Funnily enough I've now noticed a new digital/photo shop that will be opening soon in my road!

Today DD has been WFH at mine. The ironing board has come back into the living room again to be used as its alter ego - i.e a desk!😀
My friend popped around to say hello to DD and we then left her in peace and went for coffees which my friend kindly bought. 

Tonight DD and I are off to our local theatre to see the Pink Floyd Australian tribute band who are always excellent.

SCRIMPY MSE THINGS 
I had a letter from First Direct to remind me that my one year introductory interest rate of 2.75% is coming to an end next week on my E-Saver account.  As the new rate is pants I will have to move the funds. I'll have a look around but will probably end up transferring them over to my existing Marcus account - I'm getting 0.6% currently for easy access.

I’ve got a HP printer and pay £1.99 a month for instant ink, they send new cartridges when the old ones run out included in the monthly fee.

@Sun_Addict - thanks for the info. Is this something you have to subscribe to via HP or does it not matter what make of printer you have?  To be honest I don't need to print out a great deal but it's handy to have something on hand when needed.

It’s just with HP printers. I’m on the low usage plan and allowed to print off up to 50 pages a month. I never print that many though. It’s quite handy as there’s an app and you can print straight from your phone.
