NEWS FLASH

aside

Trevor (new on the scene) has assured me a courier will deliver the printer on Monday and he personally will open it up, check contents and re-seal it. I asked why they couldn't collect and deliver on the same day - originally they were going to collect on Monday and deliver on Wednesday but then - he said - I would be without a printer. HELLO if a printer is minus its innards you are without a printer.
I await Monday with fear and trepidation and eternally sprung hope.

rapidly.

Judy: just had a message from Trevor - he has put one together and 'taken the liberty of assembling it' for me so I just have to plug it in.

Z said...: Hm. Mind you, Trevor might have some clue what he's doing and at least he's tried.

You can have his guts for garters if it all goes belly-up. But do you want them?; 7:41 PM

Scarlet --take your laptop in immediately after backing EVERYTHING up. You might be on the way to a hard drive crash.; 10:25 PM
Pat said...: Naomi: seewaht Trevor didnext in the comment to Judy above. We'll hold our breath together:)

Eryl: it's an HP laser printer and comes with a CD telling you how to assemble it and I don't find it easy so I'm grateful to Trev - providing it's not just a way of getting rid of another dud. Perish the thought!

Z: I wonder why we gels have suspicious minds? You're right - I don't want his guts - I have a belly full. Sorry!

Kanani: excellent advice for Scarlet.; 11:45 PM
