Thats yucko.... v bad. Good for you for telling him to f/off. I've only just got back to your thread now, and seen your "have a nice time with your clients" - tee hee! Yes, it does sound like I'm one of the women who go to betting shops, doesn't it :rotfl: fortunately, its not those sorts of clients.

duchy

Might be worth reporting your experience as part of the mystery shop-they might up the rate !!! Never think you need danger money to do a mystery shop eh ?
Stupid old bu$$er-he deserved to be told to %%%% off

He was about 70 at least :eek: :eek: I've mentioned it in the "any other comments" box on the report :rotfl: :rotfl:

The other bookies were all fine, I do feel a bit sorry for the man who served me as he obviously figured out I was mystery shopping them but it was too late by then, apart from the old man incident as part of the shop I had to ask to use their toilet .... he couldn't find the key to unlock it so another women in there (who he had chatted to all through my transaction :rolleyes: ) said "I'll let her use ours"and I assumed she was stff as she was in a uniform, but oh no, she was from the bookies next doorand took me there telling me all about how they put bets on in each others stores as they're not allowed to do it in their own :rotfl: :rotfl: Oh that man must be dreading my report

Moneywise the mystery shops were quite good overall.The four bookies ones were 5.00 fee each and 3.00 reimbursement for the bets placed.(I get to keep any winnings, I bet on various matches tomorrow night); the other two were 5.00 fees each and 5.00 and 4.00 reimbursements. So ... grand total of: 30.00 fees and 21.00 reimbursements (I had to buy 4 x bets, 4.00 worth of supermarket stuff and 5.00 worth of stamps).

I also spent 2.40 on car parks and 10.00 on ds holiday club afternoon which he absolutely loved and they said he was as good as gold all afternoon I will put him in again during the holidays as he really enjoyed himself

Oops, forgot I also spent 7.50 onpostage for ebay stuff and 3.00 in pcworld, exchanging the wrong ink I bought (the proper one was more expensive :rolleyes: )

Speaking of football, your team have signed a hunky Aussie from my team. He's one of the nicest, gentlest blokes you could wish to meet and it makes you wonder why he's a footballer.

He doesn't score many so don't go placing any bets on him as first goalscorer....

benbenandme

None of ours score many Chip,thats why we were relegated last season :rotfl: :rotfl:

Morning The sun is shining here althought the rain kept me awake half the night :rolleyes: Todays plan is ...

• Pay council tax
• Submit 6 x receipts from yesterdays mystery shops
• Clean guinea pigs
• Burn some new cd's for in the car
• Plan what we're taking to Butlins
• Wash / iron anything from above
• Hope some of the bets I put on yesterday win tonight
• Print out stuff for tomorrows mystery shop
• Pay in cheque
• Post ebay item

Think thats about it for now, have fun

Morning! You also beat me here, no matter how early I am:p
We're going ice skating in Bristol with girls' friends today, better get them up in a mo. I won't be skating, will be watching with a coffee!

So won't get much done today, but must do some college work tonight. ALso need to check if the last ebay buyer has paid.
Sunny here too, and I heard the rain in the night - wish rain would go away, it's August:mad:

Have a good day!
