    Morning! Has anyone been paid today? I have 2 credits on my account, but I can't see for which companies, I think one might be TNS. The other may be BARE, but it is way too low, so hopefully not!?

    Does anyone know who D.B.S. are?

    They have put £11.37 into my bank account. I don't think it's a MS job, but wondered if it could be a survey payment? :confused:

    Got my Gran's funeral to go to today :(
    Here I go again on my own....

    I thought RE might start getting desperate on the the gym jobs and start calling people, the last time I saw them on they went quite fast and now they have been hanging around for weeks.

    Could anyone tell me how the BARE allocation system works pls? I heard someone mention about bidding for jobs? I've got 2 pending atm....... TIA :o

    I'd like to know, too. I have 2 jobs 'pending' with a due date of 25th July!!! and now they're sending out emails asking us to do other jobs that they obviously can't fill - well, if they can't be bothered to tell me if I've been assigned a job from a month ago, I don't think I can be bothered, either!


    Becles, hope it goes smoothly today. Not much anyone can say as these things are always emotional and upsetting - just try to stay strong and remember the good things.
