I've just been paid by Bare if that's of interest to anybody. My first payment with them was over a month late, though, but this one is on time...

Is the money actually in your account or does your Shop log say "Paid"

I emailed the finance person and got this reply

We made the payments yesterday, so your money is on its way.
Kind regards,

My log still says "Pending " though.

They owe me £1880.00:eek:

I came on to ask about Bare as well. Did my first 3 jobs for them at the beginning of the month. When *should* I receive payment from them?

Thanks, TG x

You "should" get paid on the 25th of the month following the shop.

Hi all

havent done many shops lately as it's nigh on impossible with the kids in two, but i did squeeze one in the other day that said i could take them.

But i have a question re the tax side...can i offset the cost of the kids entry fee against the job or only my own when i do my returns? (they are only reimbursing mine, but by the time we had the requsite visit to both the accompanying shop AND cafeteria and kids being kids and mums being soft i made a small loss!) still made a cheap day out!:T

Nope, as only you were required to do the job. If it stated you had to bring the kids along then yes, but in this case no I'm afraid

does anyone know how often the 3-letter sandwich places in London (maybe other areas but not sure) come out pls? I want to arrange a day in London and fancy some free food!
Thanks.

i'm offically annoyed then! lol

it said I COULD take my kids then proceeded to ask how i felt about how the kids were treated and their ages. not fair

better find them receipts then and see how much of it i can offset for little ole me...

thanks roxy!

Is anyone else showing a duplicate payment from RE?
Mine shows as paying the same amount yesterday and today effectively putting me in debt to them by quite a large amount.
Am annoyed as I only did a special highly paid premium job for them as a favour as the money was good and got a good freebie as well. Don't want to be owing them money as don't want to do any of their stupid low paying jobs with ridiculous questionnaires.:mad:

Rant over :rotfl:

No, mine is only one payment, although I have had this before with something and before I rang to complain they must have reversed it, so I would check it again on Monday and see its still there :rolleyes:

Anyone know if the RE questions for the phone jobs are wrong?
