Re: A guide to What Users Do. Thankyou, that's what I was missing. :)

Re: A guide to What Users Do. Thanks Jon. I'm on an iPhone, only done this once before and now can't remember what I did - would be helpful if they put the instructions with the test instructions! I have swiped up and Airdrop is now open to everyone, but what am I supposed to do on my laptop...

Re: A guide to What Users Do. Doing my first mobile test for ages and can't remember how to mirror my screen! >:(

Re: A guide to What Users Do. AAArgh, yes I am, wrong thread LOL! No wonder you didn't know what I was talking about. OK I shall slap myself about the head.

Re: A guide to What Users Do. Sorry, on the hotel site surveys, when you need to make a customer service phone call with a made up query.

Re: A guide to What Users Do. What are you meant to do regarding phone calls when the only number is a US one which charges international rates? Calling them would mean losing all the payment.

I asked and they said for the proofreader role they would ideally want someone in the office.

OK, it can't hurt to ask I guess! Thankyou. :D

Thankyou, I taught English for 3 years, and have proofreading and publishing experience so I might give this a go. The job spec doesn't mention anything about being able to do it from home though, it seems office based, did it say you could work from home on the Facebook page?

No you don't need landlord insurance but I will need to tell my mortgage company. It's all arranged by a company who specialise in bringing over busloads of foreign students, mostly French, because we are in a touristy town. It's covered by their own insurance. Likewise, for now at least, should...

I thought it's about time I started keeping a record of what I'm doing to bring in some money. As you'll know if you read my post on Jon's blog, I was made redundant in October last year, and due to various circumstances (children, dogs!) I need to continue to work from home. We are in the act...

You're doing really well, I bet the total feels a bit more achievable now!

Possibly. The room I am thinking of is a very long way from the phone socket though!

I see thankyou both. The new phone line and broadband connections would be for the dedicated room you need as you can't use wireless and must plug in your landline in that room. Didn't realise all these extra costs would be incurred over and above headset etc.

What's a basic thin client? I'd be interested but set up for not only getting a dedicated phoneline in another room, broadband access in another room AND a desktop are just too much on a salary of £13K I think.
