Decide if you want a yearly subscription
 If you like the look of a preview article, then decide how you want to buy it to use in your magazine. Buying a yearly subscription will cost you just over £2 a month. If you download five or more articles a month, this will save you money!
If you just want to purchase a monthly (£3.50) or yearly subscription (£25), click on your choice of downloading all of that month's articles or a subscription to all articles for a year.
Log into your Click and Buy account
Our payment partner Click and Buy collects your subscription fee on our behalf. To do this, we need you to log into your account. Firstly, a new screen will open, prompting you to log in:
 Simply fill in these boxes with your username or email address and the password you chose when signing up to Click and Buy.
 !! For security, double check that the webaddress starts https:// and the padlock symbol appears the bottom of your Internet window. This is a way of checking that your Internet purchase is being handled by safe, secure servers.
Don't have an account? Sign up!
 If this is your first purchase from thesheepdip.co.uk, then register your account details with Click and Buy. It's secure and it's safe.
Keep a note of your Click and Buy log in details, and your account number. You can use your Click and Buy account to pay other companies too.
You are then taken to your subscription link
A new window opens on your screen, it should automatically redirect you to your unique subscription link. If it doesn't, then follow the instructions and click on the 'here' to activate your link. Your Internet browser should now display a screen like this:
Bookmark this link immediately!
 In Mozilla Firefox, our recommend browser, you should right click on the webpage and choose the option Bookmark this page.
 In Internet Explorer, the process is easier. In the top left hand corner of the screen, there are two stars. The second one is the 'add to favourites' button which you need to click to save your subscription.
It's that simple! However, it's also important that you save your bookmark for access through the duration of your subscription.
Choose the article you want to download
Once you've decided which article to download first, simply click on it. A new window will open that looks a bit like this. It willl tell you that you have already paid to download this article. If it doesn't, you have logged out of your yearly susbcription. Reopen your bookmark and try again. If that fails to solve the problem, you need to go back to your Click and Buy control panel. For instructions on how to do that, see the help file here.
You screen will look like this as the article starts to download:
Return to your subscription link
 Close down the payment window or tab that has opened. In Firefox, simply close the tab that opened when you clicked on 'Buy for 50p' option. In Internet Explorer, simply close the window down.
 Then return to the article information page within the shop. This will tell you about the article that you have just download.
DO NOT CLOSE DOWN THIS WINDOW! Instead, you should use the back button on your browser to return to your subscription link
:: In Mozilla Firefox
 In the top left corner of your screen, simply click on the green arrow, as indicated here
You should return back to your subscription link, as seen below
:: In Internet Explorer

You can download again within your subscription period
Once you have purchase the article, you can download it again for the duration of your subscription. Please note, you must follow the same link to do so, and you must ensure that you are logged into your unique subscription link before downloading.
