      Not sure but you may well need to download some software and plug the printer into your PC to set it up.

      This might help.

        The TP-Link AC 750 has gone back to Argos.

        It was dropping the 4g connection multiple times a day, even though the status light showed a strong signal. A reboot would sort it for a while bit it was winding me up. Amazingly Argos issued a refund, I was expecting them to send it back to be repaired or a refurb to be supplied after investigations.

        Currently using my Nexus 5 as a hot spot which is working fine so far.

        I may well get a refurb Huawei B525 when the refund has cleared, the Mi Mix 3 5g is tempting me though….

          Thanks BL.

          The new emollient I have is a different consistency and seems to be absorbed a bit better. It’s more like a soft wax kind of feel to it.

          The new steroid cream also seems to be absorbed a bit better and that stops the itching almost straight away, the last one did nothing.

                Saw the doctor again today. Hands are still ruined.

                Doc doesn’t really know what’s going on but took photos of both hands and will forward them and a report to the dermatology specialist unit.

                In the meantime I have another emollient and a stronger steroid cream to use. 4 lotions to use on my hands so far……..

                    I’m currently trying to cancel with Virgin now

                    Good luck, you may well need it.

                    Vodafone have been upgrading my local mast (again) so for the last few days I’ve been on about 20 down and 3-5 up. Just checked my speeds now.

                    That’s streaming V Wars on Netflix at the same time. I suspect that my area might have ‘proper’ 5G now instead of being on the edge but I’ll have to wait for the coverage maps to update to check, unless I can bag a cheap 5G phone. 🤔

                        I think it will be a hung parliament.

                        This.

                          Good luck, I’ve no complaints with Vodafone here. Any maintenance issues have been texted to me on my Smarty number, the Vodafone SIM is in a router but there are no notifications for it and I keep forgetting to check the router itself.

                            Had to see the GP again today as I now have badly cracked skin one wound that isn’t healing properly.

                            So now it’s almost certainly an eczema flare up with probably an infection of some kind so I have an antibacterial/steroid cream and an antibacterial soap replacement.

                            GP reckons they are both going to hurt like hell for a few days but I should see an improvement in about 3-4 days. Already have an appointment for a fortnights time.

                              Now Facebook says there’ll be new dealerships in 2020. (They did Mitsubishi as well).

                              The dealership did need some money spending on it, nothing major but it would all add up. Things like new signs, a better waiting area and some behind the scenes stuff like new car lifts. I wonder if that was part of the decision to start over?

                              Sytner BMW have just opened a very swanky, massive new dealership just around the corner from me. I dread to think what it cost as the site was razed to the ground and rebuilt from the drains up.

                                Drove past the local Suzuki dealers on Saturday only to find it empty and deserted. All the stock from their little overflow area was gone also.

                                After a bit of digging I found their Facebook page. On the 29th of November (Friday) they announced that they’d been sold and stopped trading. There was well over 100 cars to shift so the new owners must have moved quickly!

                                  Got some Kingston from Amazon, arrived yesterday and worked a treat. Well, after the many Windoze updates had finished. 🙄

                                    No worries Dave.

                                    Thanks for looking.

                                        Ryan, I can’t use the site you linked to, asks for a speciality and rheumatoid isn’t listed. Shame but there we are.

                                        I had a phone call just gone 9 this morning asking if i could make a 11.30am appointment with my rheumatology consultant back at the Heath hospital. After reviewing my test results and examining my hands there is nothing to explain the swelling but the other marks and redness he thinks are an eczema flare-up or something related to eczema. I’ve never had eczema like this before.

                                        I’m now waiting for a scan of my hands, which could be next week or next year. For now it’s carry on as best as I can. At least there is nothing major wrong, which is a huge relief.

                                        I’m still baffling medical science, which is interesting but no fun!!

                                          I had my postal vote today.

                                          Completed and returned.

                                          Still not happy about the choice I made but it had to be done.

                                          No real option apart from a vote for an alleged good bloke.
