    ali.....no housework going on here - I am being a ski mum......no rest at all either!!!

    duchy, happy birthday. No I didn't get interest on my money, but then again even when they have sent the calculation through, I don't understand how they arrived at those figures anyway!!

    walshyboy - yes, we were with aramco......but bikinis were only allowed in the garden, def not on the beaches. I think they have become a little more relaxed in some of their rules in recent years.

    They allow them at the women's only afternoon at the family pool, the yacht club and only the expat beach.

    Apparently it goes round in circles! sometimes security allow them, sometimes they don't!

    They're even letting in female engineers now! I was shocked I got one for an interview at the end of the month! :j

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    Ah you see when we were there, the only thing women could do was host coffee mornings and knitting circles............

    Hi Hypno, can I ask what mystery shopping site you use as I have rubbish assignments in my area (only a local pub or well known fast food restaurant) and have seen the variety you seem to get.

    Many thanks ev

    Hi evab, I do GFK, TNS, retaileyes, grassroots......all a bit hit and miss but between them I seem to do ok.

    Why not head over to the "up your income" board - there is a whole thread dedicated to mystery shopping and they are really good at pointing you in the direction of the good ones!

    Good morning! I have to get the early bus in today because I have a mystery shop to do on the way in to work. Then I have another one to do in my lunch hour. Thankfully they both involve coffee :T

    Slept very badly last night - I went to bed at 9 because I was so so tired to the point that my head wanted to explode........then the bloody house phone rang several times during the night - with no one there and no 1471 number :mad: It is not a case of ignoring the call - we got the call about my dad in the night, so night calls = emergencies in my book. Except for whoever was ringing last night I just think it meant a bit of a laugh :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Anyway.....rant over - I hope the weather is not too torrid for you all and that you have a good day xx
