    Just letting you know I am still around...jetlag still troubling me, but only awake for couple of hours now...bed at 10.30pm last night , awake 2am-4am, slept then until 9am...so almost there...hopefully tonight will be better.
    All clothes washed/ironed and ready for re-packing( hanging in spare bedroom but cases open on the bed with some stuff put back in !!)
    Been sorting out all my pics and burning them on to discs, so brain really hurting with all the technology...have downloaded them directly on to my PS3 and Xbox, so can view them on our 50" Plasma...can put the SD card directly into the telly I won, but that is in my bedroom and don't want peeps sitting on my bed to watch my holiday pics !!!Tried using the Wii but got in a mess with that, the Xbox is the most user friendly though, very straightforward....
    Been moaning to Flying Blue Club China about non delivery of the digital scales I won in August, as they have never arrived, so they apologised and promised to send them again and I will have to sign for them to ensure I get them...been a week and still not here but the 'extras' they promised as an apology just came...called a 'luggagemate'...attach one to luggage( looks like a luggage label) and carry trnasmitter with you...when you land switch on transmitter and it will bleep when your luggage is on the carousel( within 25 metres)....seems to work fine, just been playing with it, suitcase in bedroom and me in entrance hall, bleeping loud and clear!!!Bully will appear very hi-tec in airport arrivals!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

    Got email from Morrisons 6p off petrol promo on..also 10p with Sainsburys, so will shop there this week as car is on empty and just received double Nectar points voucher from them...can still get my other 5 shops in at Morrisons before Xmas though to get £25, but the Sainsburys promo is too good to miss as it will save me well over £5 on fuel.
    Hope to be back to normal very soon and posting more ....

    it may sound mean but have reported

    it's not about sounding mean. he has already said he does not know if he is breaking any rules and sorry if he is! :mad:

    anyway I have no time for journos. have seen how they twist what peopl say and interpret it their own way to sexify up the article and get more readers.

    the last thing we want know is ts to turn round and say, tell you what no manufacturer's coupons, just our own and same with everyone else.

    Why couldn't I install the Coupon Printer?
    If you are experiencing problems installing the Coupon Printer there may be a few reasons:

    1. You may not have permission to download programs on your computer or you are using software that blocks the installation
    If you are trying to print coupons at work or from a computer at a library, Internet cafe or university, you may not have permission to download and install programs onto the computer you are using. This may be true even if you've downloaded and installed other files. Contact your network administrator for more information. If you have a home computer, you may find it easier to access our coupons there.

    You might also be running software that prevents installation on your computer. Please make sure to turn off any anti-virus software or any anti-spyware or adware software. While we have attempted to work with most of the major publishers of such software to ensure that our Coupon Printer is not blocked, there may be programs that block the installation, or put up a warning that you are about to install a program. You should choose to allow the installation.

    2. The security settings in your browser are set too high
    If you receive warnings or errors that an attempt to install and ActiveX control (Internet Explorer) or a plugin was blocked, or are asked for permission to install a program, you may need to change your browser's security settings to allow installation of these types of controls. Also, make sure to click the appropriate buttons in any dialog boxes that appear to allow the installation. Modern browsers make you jump through a few hoops to install plugins, but it's worth it!

    3. Your operating system or browser is incompatible
    Coupon printing is currently supported on Windows Operating Systems Vista, XP, 2000, and Windows 7 when used with Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 1+, Netscape 8+, Chrome 2+, Opera 10+, Safari 2+ and most MSN and AOL browsers.

    If you are unable to print when using an MSN, AOL, or CompuServe browser, please try printing your coupons using Internet Explorer or Firefox.

    Coupon printing is also supported on Macintosh OSX 10.4 or higher when used with Safari 2+ and Firefox 2+.

    Coupon printing is not supported on Linux or WebTV.
