Epson Ecotank ET 4500 Review

Whether your child is big or small you know they they love to print out things, though what they print out  over time may change the printer can take a right good bashing on the ink front. I lost count of the number of times particularly during my sons GCSE's years that we had to order print cartridge after printer cartridge and even then they weren't the official ones so we were comprising on ink quality. The amount of documents, photos etc that my son is going to have to print now is on the increase as he has just started his A levels and goodness knows what the amount will be when he finally goes to university . I couldn't believe when someone told me that on the University equipment list is your own printer so I think he will be taking the one that we got sent to review from Epson.

The printer that we were sent for review is the Epson Eco tank 4500 (RRP £299)

which comes with a 2 year supply of ink, The Epson ET - 4500 is different as it doesn't use ink cartridges but uses a tank however be warned you'll need to wear gloves as it can be a slightly messy process. My son likes having an easy if a printer that he can use over wifi and as such the printer is now in his study. The printer produces good quality document , it prints in colour alright but it isn't a dedicated printer for churning out your favourite photographs.

The only bugbear is that is doesn't do duplex printing ( printing on both sides ) you have to do that yourself if you wish your printing to be like that. It is a good solid printer that is worth purchasing and there are many more within the Ecotank range , you can get a pack of all 4 ink colours for around  £20 from online retailers.

Disclosure : As mentioned in the opening paragraph we were sent this printer for review .

It's Raining Cats And Dogs

I had my allergy test today where it appears I'm intolerant to fish but not allergic However it would appear I'm allergic to horses , grass , dogs and ermmmm cats . The irony of this is not lost on me with this being a Life , Njnjakillercat and Everything Else blog . 

Also before being pricked within an inch of my life I was weighed no idea why for an allergy test but my weight gave me a shock so every time I feel tempted I'm going to have a look at the picture of the most evil biscuit in the whole wide word . Obviously I need to get moving more and I've no excuse with the park behind me and the countryside that's full of horses and grass ...

If A Cat Did New Years Resolutions

A blip on my horizon really won't last I am Captain Worry paws , * ok I may still a bit but not as much as I have been the last 2 days . I think why should I question myself  ~ anyway enough of that( I wouldn't want my owner to pick up on my insecurities ) . insert cat wink emoji at some point.

So what would my New Years Resolutions revolutions be if I could really be bothered and I am not.



I won't be sitting on the kitchen side or in the sink , and I know I really should be using the lower basket as this is where I should sleep , sleep being the operative word , but ever the rebel I do what I like.


I shall not be lying on the stairs in an attempt to trip my owner up or down but then again they really should be looking where they are going shouldn't they now.

I shall not walk backward after eating bugs, grass and goodness knows what making the human being think I have been pressed by the anti Christ.



The spirit of Cat Nip compels you .. ( head spin gif to be organised )

I will not use the underneath of the dishwasher to store live mice for  my late night snack. Never feed a gremlin after midnight though it has always puzzled me and what time exactly can you feed a Gremlin?

I will use my vocal cords to say when I want to leave a room and not eat the carpet make that carpets ...

If I bite the human they will take away my teddy bear ....

A candle is not a fair fight you  will singe your bottom.

I promise not to win up the neigh hood dogs "clem and have a go if you think you're hard enough "

Am not an ornament I will not threaten the life of the Windy Miller rare china decoration .
I vow not to check every door , if it is raining out of one door the human ensures me it will be raining out of all of them , though you have to check don't you .





I shall be writing a book a some point perhaps even launch my own youtube channel , I mean who wouldn't love a blogging cat , a blog PRO cat at that .  Kerching.

A blogging PRO cat yes yes  everyone shall fall at my paws and tickle my belly and give me treats , but damn it I will achieve getting that red dot .. have you seen it  ? have you huh huh ?

Today I Feel Like An Accidental Hero

Today I feel like an accidental hero in the way that I feel broken and nonsensical .


That was a line I wrote months ago and I whilst I still feel like a hero accidental or otherwise , I am not broken .

Yes I am still nonsensical but that is me take , me leave me do as you darn well wish.


Yes I can be a bit like Doug from "Up"

You are my friend and I have only just met you ...


And I did a tendency to cling onto friends like the world might end , I think I have to say I got caught up in the lovey , saying  "Lovely " bloggy culture.

Disclaimer  : Please don't take this personally you are free to use words as you wish , but for me it is not a habit I was into until .. I started blogging . "lovely "~ damn it .


SO today I had a walk out to the countryside a hop skip and and whimsical wobble just outside my front door , I took a picture with my phone walked a but more saw the picture opportunity then dead my battery went dead. My phone going dead used to be a problem for me but no more , just because it was the perfect lighting , rolling fields , blackbird bobbing along the ground, knowing my luck there was a kestrel overhead or the buzzard that likes to attack the middle class joggers round here. So that scene is just in my head along with the one of the kamikaze pheasant that like to do a road runner impression along the country lane at the bottom of my road.

Life is cake

You just to make it


And so I will carry on in my whimsical  friendly way seeing the world as I do full of wander and intrigue.

And I am glad I am an Accidental hero to me and to whoever.

Just A Winter's Day

Today was just a Winter's day a simple walk home on the first day back , I didn't think of it as Monday but perhaps another day . For if we always stress abd fixate about day it is , it can absorb us ( not withholding any appointments of course )

To slide along the day makes all the difference in relaxing , I even came up against a situation which ordinarily would have irked me but didn't . 

Perfect isn't it just the focus of the church in my mind's eye and a joyful heart heading home.

And the ignoring of click bait is a resolution I hope to keep ( I do apologise if you've clicked through to read this and I am chortling at the irony whilst drinking my tea. You see I don't  need to click through to see a sax playing sea lion not unless it's the chap from Lost Boy's ) who wore too much baby oil) mild sigh .

Now I am off to order my shopping on line and not look for the song that features the chap on YouTube .....
