So not looking forward to exercising after the baby arrives. Don't think any of the gyms by me have a creche so will have to see what I can do. Maybe I'll buy a Wii and a Wii board instead - that should keep me fit lol

I'm trying to win a wii fit from the comps board at the mo. no luck so far tho.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

And what would you do without us!!! Just done 3 betting shop jobs, one petrol station and a small supermarket job. Have completed everyone apart from the last betting shop as have until 9.00 tonight to do that so I'm having a diet coke break. Even managed to win £1.60 on the roulette machine whilst I was at one! Do any of you women out there who have done betting shop jobs feel its hard to spend 15 mins in a betting shop without looking suspicious! I feel a right wally.

I've only ever managed to get one ABA-i job - may e-mail them as well as nothing ever shows up.

Could someone also tell me how BARE pay or where I need to look. Can't seem to find anything that says "payment". I'm due a good fee but don't know what to do next. Thanks x

Surprisingly haven't heard back from GYP regarding the closed mobile phone shop job yesterday!!

BARE
Look in Profile, Advanced Profile.
This is where you tell BARE your Bank and more importantly the
IBAN and SWIFT codes.

Iban number (needed for accounts in the european union, and some other countries like Switzerland and Turkey, please check with your bank)
Where can I find IBAN?
IBAN of your own Account you can find on your Account Statements or at http://www.ibancalculator.com/index.php
If you can not find it there, your bank will provide your IBAN.
Please check if your number is correct at http://www.xe.com/idt/
Bic or Swift code:
Where can I find SWIFT or BIC?
on your Account Statements. If you can not find it there, your bank will provide your codes or go to http://www.swift.com/bsl/freequery.do

They pay around the 25th of the month following and pay your bank in Euros. Your shop log will show Payment Pending, then (hopefully) Paid and on what date.

Your bank then do the exchange and some banks charge for this.

Cahoot doesn't

They're ridiculous - like a 24 year old male is going to need the toilet so much that they insist the staff toilet's opened up - and THEN you have to assess it!

This is the only thing I hate about those petrol jobs - "Hi - I'm a mystery shopper and I'd like you to go out of your way to cope with my absolutely fine, healthy bladder".

I was thinking of taking DS who is 4 in with me so it looks more realistic :rolleyes:

I've done that - "Have you got a toilet my son can use, he is desperate poor little thing!" - usually works!!! (and I'm usually desperate too so I go at the same time):rotfl:

Whilst your son stands there feeling used! :rotfl:

Poor little chap - "Now little Johnny, I'm taking you to the toilet but you don't have to wee" - I can only imagine how confusing that is for a little boy!

or he pipes up, but I don't need a wee

Timmne

"YES, you DO need the toilet"

I'd pay to see that discussion!

You'd think there were advantages to me being 8 months pregnant. The last petrol job I did the sales assistant just looked at me and offered me the use of the staff loos. Not so this time!!!
