Anyone know if this is the same as the Jan Host Special in the US?
 
I have NO idea, sorry. I tried to change the month in our link like they do in theirs but it doesn't work for us.
 
we'll probabaly find out Nov 1 or just after cause they like to give us 2 months worth of specials so we can book.
 
Yay!We can now check for the specials for Jan and Feb on the web!

For the specials, just open up a currently listed special; then in the address line change "06oct" to "07jan". To change between the host and guest specials change the "hs" to "gs". You can do this to find out Feb's specials too.

The Consultant News for November can be called up the same way. Open up Oct's newsletter and in the address line change "oct" to "nov".

Thanks, Linda
 
Finally!I've been trying to do the 'trick' for months! Now I've got the January and February host and guest specials and the order forms for both. Oh, and of course peeked at the Nov Consultant News! Yippee!
 
This doesn't work for me:rolleyes: When I open specials Adobe Reader opens them right away and there is no address!! I wonder why?
 
It might be the setup for your internet browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc).

Mine has got the web address on the top of the screen below the tool bars. It's the line that has "http://www. blah blah blah"

Hope that helps.

I have an address bar as well but when I click the the specials it starts up adobe reader and doesn't let me change, it takes away the address screen.
Oh well I'll live:o

If you have the plug-in installed, rather than the full version of the reader, it should open in a browser window with the address bar.
 
Here's a copy of them. :)

And Jodi, I had to laugh at your post. I did the same exact thing! :p

I have the same problem, so this is how I got it to work.

right click on the download link for the december host special and choose

Copy Shortcut.

Open up a new browser window and do Ctrl V to paste it in. It won't automatically open up Acrobat, so change the month to Jan07, etc... and they hit enter. It will open up acrobat with the jan & feb special.

It works, I just tried it.
 
The tricks we try to find out stuff. Wouldn't it be nice if HO simply made this stuff officially available to us since so many of us have found work arounds.
 
Thanks Marg for posting them and thanks Sandibeach, it works now:D

I just can't wait it really bothers me:rolleyes: It's nice to know whats coming up, customers always want to know when cookware is coming up!!
