It's flipping freezing-again!

Day Four of the Advent Calendar. Enjoy!

I have a "Spotlight Spot" up on Jessewave's Blog and she asks me lots of unusual questions.

I've just heard from the Running Press editor of Transgressions - and the copy edits will be with me next week.  I need to get them back as hard copies, which is a problem - so I've just ordered a scanner. This is a desk problem now, the desk I have simply doesn't have the space. I have the screen and a printer on the deskspace -  However there is a space next to the desk on my right about 3'x3' - so I could possibly stick a small table there and put the flatbed on that...  I do need a scanner, and it can double as a photocopier too, so it's an expense I'll have to bear.  I'll really have to ask someone how tax concessions work, because I have NO clue and I'm sure I can get some money back for promotion and hardware? *feels incredibly dim*

It's bloody freezing again, blowing a gale and raining. Really unpleasant and I need to go to the library. I can't even be bothered to get out from under this knee blanket. The cats are all snuggled up warm, and yes, we still have a Lucius! It's a miracle!  He's been scoffing artery clogging fat making stuff such as cream and butter and he's put on all the weight he lost through being ill. If I could get him to put a bit more weight on, I'd be happy, but I'm afraid that he's probably always going to be like his namesake, tall and willowy.

Right. off to stare at the WIP.

I ended up getting a flatbed, it was very cheap - and typically the one you mention is more than twice the price over here - about £80... *sigh* The printer I've got is fairly crappy - does about six letters (or so it seems) - I'll save up and get something more multi-purpose when I can afford it.

A lot of the multifunction ones have come down enormously in price these days, to well under £50. I have a Lexmark printer/scanner/copier (with slots for memory cards, too!) which was £99 - three or four years ago! An equivalent model (possibly without the memory card slots) is now about £35, I think.

And unless you buy an Epson, most cartridges can be refilled - Epson 'chip' theirs to (supposedly) make them un-refillable, though I believe there are ways round that. And I buy mine from either Tesco (who are convenient and reasonably priced and do their own-brand Lexmark(and other makes)-compatible cartridges), or when I've got the money to spare, three or five at a time from Viking.
