Thank you - but I am still lost ! When I click on the person I get a drop down menu and then click on Activity That gives me a long list of stuff headed Online & High Street which just lists all my transactions from the previous few years. I don't seem to have a list which includes Clicksnap - I must be missing a step.

To the left of the 'long list of stuff' is there not a short list, of blue links, which includes Clicksnap?

Have a safe journey down and a cosy night in the hotel xx



:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I must stop skim reading these freebies




I stood watching for a while before said SH made its move and if I'd had my phone with me, who knows ..............

I've always had the feeders close to the shrubs mhoc, it gives the birds a little security usually, but not that day :eek:

Oh dear mhoc, I can understand your lads not wanting to be on your list. Cut the apron strings with them and they may feel more inclined to let you know where they are off to one day.

With my lot, they aren't on any find lists but they've all been brought up to ring or text when they arrive at their destination, because they freely tell me where they are planning on going. I also used to tell them to let me know when they were leaving to head home.

Now it's all done on auto. A text to say he has arrived, text to say carpark found. Text to say what a time they're having after a day of two, then a text to say 'heading home'

This all started from getting their first mobile phones and it's so ingrained in their brains that they carry on with this, I wonder can we turn things round for you and your lot mhoc xx

I have horrible boys, never had a text ever re setting off or arriving or getting home, never know if they are home, work or away and often vanish for weeks at a time, Errant son missing for months ...

So earlier this year Eldest child booked a long weekend but she booked it in her married name.
Normally she is ultra organised but with all the wedding prep she didnt get around to changing her passport into her married name until the day before they set off up north on wedding week.
After wedding week they had a few days away and finally got home 10 days later. Only then did she discover the passport renewal had been rejected as they said the photo was crumpled.
Next day she went to the post office but they didnt want to help because she'd done it online so she rang the passport office.
So a new photo was sent off.
Next day the passport office rang. They wanted the marriage certificate. This was still at in-laws house.
So there was a frantic phone call on Tuesday to the in-laws and the cert was posted off to Belfast.
Next day it went across to the London passport office.
And Thursday the passport arrived in time for their setting off on Friday.

I think I could write a book on passport horror stories but I think we have a few years break now before anyone updates their passport unless they get theirs lost or stolen again.

I think the problem was that none of todays 'activity' was actually showing so there was no list cos it was empty ifyswim. 2 of todays receipts have now been confirmed and the list is now showing - but I don't know whats happened to the other 2 receupts that I did before those 2. Perhaps I just need to be patient. Thanks for the help -at least I know where I SHOULD be able to find it !

Eldest child originally booked Copenhagen for this weekend - inspired by Rick Steins Long weekend programme which we watched the last time she was home.
But the flights were altered and altered very badly so she had to cancel - I didnt even know you could do this.

It was her new Ohs birthday in early March - a significant birthday so she was booking a long weekend so his birthday would not get drowned out by the wedding.
Also she wanted something for them to look forward to after the wedding.

So instead she booked Stockholm via I think a travel zoo offer - 3 nights over Easter weekend flying BA - it was even snowing when they flew in yesterday!

We had a nice face time chat with her this morning - and being blonde and Nordic looking she has already been asked directions :rotfl:
Food is so expensive out there but alchol is even worse - wine at £45 a bottle - even the bog standard Hardys which sells for about £5 here is £25

Good afternoon Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
Have a great holiday DM.

Can anyone please advise where I might find the command to clean the printer nozzles through Windows 10? I've looked in all the usual places (ie. where I would have looked in previous Windows versions) but am at a loss.

Control panel - devices and printers, click on your printer and it should have a maintenance option (does on mine anyway).

Errant son is working his way back across country again and heading in our direction so our peace and calm will be shattered shortly.

He went off on Wednesday, meeting his big brother in Ikea as big brother was buying furniture and Errant son has this big van.

Then he stayed overnight with them in Brum helping to pack up the flat before setting off on Thursday for the new place.
Thursday he was helping his brother and Gf unpack at the new place and they started work on the flat packs and furniture building.

Friday morning they discovered a vital bit of wardrobe door was missing so off they set again for Ikea - Ive no idea which Ikea as the new place is in an Ikea wasteland.

Gf said it would never have happened if she had gone with them on wednesday.

I just had to bite my tongue until it bled not to say they could have got nearly everything they needed from the furniture warehouse place, probably better quality and more suitable for a little cottage than modern identikit white mass produced Ikea furniture ... but what do I know ...

Anyway Errant son then stayed the extra night, then he went to Ickfield before setting off again for home.

I was just wondering last night how they were getting on as I could not figure out how many years it has been since they were both in the same place for such a length of time - odd nights like at New Year but not 3 days in a row. Possibly it was at Eldest childs and her OHs graduation which was 6 years ago ...

Thanks Enterprise. That was my first thought but I have no maintenance option. I can print a test page but no cleaning options.

Do you have printer specific software? What is the printer?
