Hi Ruth not very often I win on the horses about your printer I have now resorted to buying bulk ink from Amazon to refill my own cartridges I will let you know how I get on with the refills, it costs me 72/75 Euros for a full set of inks.

I have purchased 2 lots totaling 36 pounds but I should get at least 10 refills out of the bottles.

When you look at in the cold light of day ink is costing somewhere in the region of 1800 pounds per litre that's why they can sell cheap printers.

ITS A RIP OFF

I agree Neil it is a rip off, I recycle my ink cartridges at the moment for donations to the RNLI, with what I've spent on ink in the previous couple of years they could have bought a boat ! 

I'm going to try the compatibles, they always worked with my old Epsom, it was the move to HP that caused the problem. So now I've got a Cannon, the model came highly recommended from two close friends so I'll see how I go on - when I get it out of the box that is  Smile

Let me know how you go on with re filling your own.

Hi James might just get round to a bit of ink sniffing instead of the Gin LOL

 Cod is known as bacalo over here they cut it up in small chunks dip it in egg white and flower and deep fry its gorgeous.

We checked out the price of the Bass we brought back from Cornwall James, we had 12 large fillets, worked out at around £150 if we had bought them in the fish market down there.

I reckon I've just wrapped about £50 - £60 in Cod fillets. Plus there's the stuff left from the last trip. I just wished I like fish more, whenever I eat it I'm thinking I rather it be meat.

I think we may have had that in Spain Neil. There were a couple of cafés on the front in Almunecar that did the fish as part of Tapas, along with some other things which we weren't really sure on what they were but we ate anyway.

Good morning...can you people still get the copying pen...that picks up print out of books and off screen for "one liners" in data?....it seems to me they would cost less in ink then copying an whole page of something off. Pen picks up the words you want and then prints if out. It's been awhile since I've seen them, but I thought it was an great idea at the time for school projects, historians and whatnot else.

I went to go get me some jewelry today..as I can't find my favorite pieces here at the house for some reason, I probably wrapped them around an coat hanger somewhere...but anyway....I was shopping with an lady that looked like my deaceased sister in-law, whom I was getting depressed about leaving here soon....she was so happy, she looked about like in her early 20's...we were shopping at the goodwill together...she got an braclet and necklace, I bought ear rings and cross pendant necklace. I was quite happy by the time she went on...where to... I haven't the slightest Idea either. Outside the store she but all greeted me and talked as if she knew me...she followed me in and stopped at the jewelry case beside me. I've had that happen before by people that have crossed-over. I still see them, and usually at their best looking also. Youngest, strongest in their lives.So I went on shopping and now I have an busy few weeks coming up by the time I return. Will tell you more about them later on as I go...but have projects to do around here and with other for several weeks now. They are counting on me for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. So talk to you later...going for my favorite "Salmon Dinner" at Sherrie's Restruarant and then coming back and loading up the car.  I outta buy an lottery ticket while I'm at it maybe...oh well,whatever...talk later on..I'm hungry!.

I had my dinner...no, I think someone has went through my drawers

sometime back..I had an little bracelet I found in school on time as

an kid..it had an huge topaz gem in the center of what looked like I flower when all together...the stone is missing...bracelet is there and if the stone feel out if would of been within the plastic pocket for each

thing I have..but it's not. It was one of the few things of worth I had

and have been able to have all my life....someone knows their gems

from the costume jewelry...they never take that. No matter how nice it looks. I kept that because my mother's gem stone was an topaz.  My necklace I am looking for is like an swirling triangle in gold...I use to call it my trinity" necklace..as it starts out in an triangle shape in the center to an swirling spinning pattern...for me it represented the father, the son, and the holy ghost..going into one together..and I found people never bothered me about religion when I wore it versa an cross. It was unusal. But whomever has even stolen my watch my hubby gave me one year for Christmas...and it had an safety lock on it...but just kind of suddenly came up missing off my arm at work one day. I asked security if they found it and of course they didn't...and most  likely they sold it in their jewelry store to someone else, in an different location. Thye were going down the tube as it was business wise. The stores sell expenisve crap in my opinon...high priced, it has no meaning to it...spiritual or of real wealth. Thye have taken an huge box of crayons in jerely and reduced them down to the basic colors, basic style...and super high prices...or if on sale, so poorly made they don' t hold up to useage.  So I guess I go back and finish stripping all the electronics out of the house here while I am gone and take it with me. My computer they can not turn on without my fingerprint Identification anyway.So it would ne no use to them to take it. Sad when life gets that bad. I realy like my trinity necklace. One time they stole my hubby's cheap mirror out of his pack pack..also his fishing gear....and that little mirror sold for less then 2 dollars at the store..he had carried it with him when he was an boy in "Scouts"...through the Viet nam War in his shaving kit....and we knew who did this..but they had went up to Mt. Hood to "party" that night...some school kids my son knew....and they never found the mirror...it meant an LOT to my hubby in sentimental value. He hardly has anything of his childhood, if anything now. Times like these I have to rember what my dad said one time...it don' tmatter...you can't take it with you someday when you die anyway...but then again, what do you have to leave for an legacy to your children besides nothing at all  for the most part. So I unplug for now and talk later on...pack up my laptop.
