That doesn't make any difference . I log in mid morning on my break and again at lunch time, when I can. A couple of weeks ago, I checked GR & there were no jobs. I went out for 1.5 hours to do two other jobs & checked GR as soon as I got in ......... missed three :mad:. Also missed one for OC last week & have never had that before. I wish he/she would take all the gyp burgers. He/she must be a good shopper because, like me, he/she doesn't take the RE cr*p - those jobs linger forever :rotfl:

I feel your pain owlet . I wish the MSers in my area would grab some RE & Gyp jobs and allow me the luxury of doing the occasional OC and GR job! Push email will give me the edge over those fast-fingered moos :rotfl: Can you feel the love in the room?? .

Is GFK down for anyone?cant get on the site today!

I've popped on here to ask the very same question !!, I have 50 reports to put on before Tuesday lunchtime and haven't been able to log on since yesterday morning :mad: hopefully, they will allow extra time for data entry as the fault must be their end and not ours.

I have the 8520 and it was love at first site Im not gadgety at all (unlike DH who always has the latest toy) but I have genuine feelings for my 'dingle'berry and experience mild panic attacks at the thought of losing it! _pale_
On a practical level is makes my MS-life so much easier!

Have fun getting to know each other properly :rotfl:t

We're very happy together thanks . Hope our relationship will be as long and fruitful as yours . I think the 8520 has a larger screen than the 9700 . Even so, it isn't a real hindrance. I think i would have preferred the 8520, but i'm loving my little berry . It came with a 'leather' cover/pouch which i wasn't expecting :T. Tucked him up in it last night before going to bed :rotfl:

Do you have phone insurance cover?

That is the same message as I am getting on both the PAYE site and also the SE one, I often think the fault is my end as I am having to use a PAYG dongle while SKY work out why my broadband doesn't work and the signal strength can be quite carp at times, so find it reassuring when I see others have problems as well.

Are Sky footing the cost of the PAYG dongle? They should do, if their broadband is up the creek!!

The first person I spoke to said no, but since the problem has escalated now to the point they need to send an engineer out and they can see from their end exactly how little broadband I have had over the past 4 months, they have agreed to pay the costs if I send an invoice in, I will delay doing this until the engineer has actually been out. I have told them I will be asking for the cost of the dongle, £15 per month I have had to top up, I will also include the loss of fees for the jobs I have not been paid for as I could not get the results in on time and the companies took the jobs off me, I must admit though, it has only been RE who have had the inflexibility to give me an extra 48 hours to get a decent signal and get the reports uploaded, actually the reports went on fine, it was the photo's that the dongle couldn't cope with, not good enough for RE though and I lost them .

FOUR MONTHS??? I think I'd've told Sky to stick their broadband where the sun doesn't shine, and sign up with another company!!

HAPPY EASTER everyone - anyone doing any MS-ing Easter lunches today?

Tied into a 2 year contract which I can only get out of, if their packages fail completly, it has taken 4 months to get to this stage because, they had to go through the process 1) new disk, 2) new filter 3) new adsl cable, 4) new filter to go with new cable 5) new router 6) another new router 7) engineer call out.

Believe me, I am not happy and if it is not sorted by the end of this month, I class that as failure :eek:

HAPPY EASTER to all from me as well. :T and don't stuff all those eggs at once :rotfl:

I am being :A and no eggs for me as I am going skiing in 14 days and don't want my sallopettes to rip :eek:
