If it's a work doc, can you claim it back as a work expense?

Ha, no - there's a perfectly good printer at work I can use, not their fault that I live 25 miles away

Just popping in to report some activity over lunch - now standing at £40.41 cleared and £3.85 pending. So I made my £30 target and then some!

Nearly at £45 😎

So close Beanie! 😃 I'll cash out tomorrow - hopefully more of it will have cleared by then but if not, it'll be a nice start for August 😃

To late for this time but most public libraries have facilities to print documents 10p or 20p per side of A4. In our library you can have choose colour or b&w.

Ah yes, of course, I forgot about the library, what a plonker! 🙄 Thank you for the reminder though - I have a similar task soon so I'll make sure I do that then!

Strangely enough, I was thinking as I was reading about your endeavours with the stationery company, that actually 40p a (colour) sheet was quite reasonable.  We went into our local library to print off a thank you card the other day. It was a series of photos on an A4 sheet, so colour was requested, each sheet was 75p ........  I'm not sure what cost B&W is now - last time I printed off B&W it was 25p a sheet.  But I absolutely take your point about the member of staff Cheery, they sound as it customer service ain't quite their forte.  I wouldn't have thought it was in their interests to assume the customer will 'pay whatever', because as Baileys_Babe points out, there are alternative providers.

Now 50p for b & w A4 at my library. A big jump in the price.

Printing is quite expensive these days. A full set of inks for our printer is £50-70 including colour? Luckily it's a once a year sort of thing

My inks are even more than Ed's & I have tried the cheaper versions & they never print anywhere near as much as the proper ones.  But for those only printing for themselves - have you noticed how much rubbish comes through the door that has a blank page on the back.  My house insurance came 3 times so over 60 pages worth of which over 30 had blank backs - although some did say they were left blank deliberately but I can work round that.  I do use my printer quite a bit as arthritic hands & already bad handwriting are not a good combo.  So I print shopping lists.  So far I have managed to make out what my to do lists must say.
