I had a good one, in an electrical store for RE. The guy told me he could get me some copy software if I purchase the laptop.
He reeked of BO and kept scratching his privates. I couldn't wait to get out.
But then had to write the report!!

The scratching is grim! Did you put it all in the report?

HP you are a naughty Christmas elf...

I've got just one clothes shop today and then eyes down for tonight!

Don't worry we're not mad at you - it's not like the cinema thread where people get apoplectic about it!

Ooh yes that is a thread where you wouldn't want to star a convo :rotfl::rotfl:
We are very friendly, it just gets annoying when the Alert thread pops up and its not actually an Alert (we get a bit excited about new jobs )

I am actually supposed to be cleaning :rolleyes: so I really must close this laptop, so hope to catch up later

EDIT;
Auntypog yes you could take someone but didn't get more money!
Josie - never heard of them sorry

I am off now....

Is one permitted to take a companion to the One Letter Hotels (with no increase to the budget)?

It says on the assignment that you can take someone else

Hi Chelsea Girl, I just wanted to explain to you the rationale behind using the other thread just for alerts & meant in the nicest way, but yes, you were right, you shouldn't have posted the reply on there either

Don't worry we're not mad at you - it's not like the cinema thread where people get apoplectic about it!

We're a friendly lot really! right better go and read my shopping instructions and get going!

I reckon Gap might go on, on Mon evening - to answer your original question! You can always post it on the alert thread, if you discover it before us!:p

Eek! Shall avoid the cinema thread at all costs! This place is a bit scary at the moment for me, but thankfully everyone on this thread is being nice and understanding. Think i'll stick around.

Just checked bank and RE paid today. So even though it said paid on 06/08/08 they did actually pay on 15/08/08 as statged on their website. So in future I know to only check on 15th and 30th.

hey thanks for the heads up on payment day from RE . mines been showing as the 6 th for ages and it never went into my account.
I waited 5 days encase it took a bit to clear and still no payment.
looked on line at my RE account and it said had been payed on the 6th omg.
saw your post today and checked my account money went in
yesterday :j so thanks for letting me know xx

ps how high does your score thing have to be on RE for you to get hotels to show. i can see all jobs including airport cafe but no hotels
thanks vic

I don't think that the points count for much on RE. The hotels seem to show for anyone just depends if there are any available in your area. I think.

ChelseaGirl

I know some MS companies give you a rating, but do they actually mean anything? Do you get to see more jobs if you have more points on RE for example?
I've worked for RE for a few years now, but i'm sure my points score won't be as high as some others simply because there aren't as many jobs in my area as there are in others. Would i be penalised for that?

hollywoodnails

Hi iam not sure if the points count ive only been doing it for a while .
Ive searched a few areas for hotels and can never find any .
maybe i,am searching after they have all gone lol.

Has anyone noticed there doesn't seem to as many jobs on gfk just lately ive had the odd one but most of time they say no jobs avalible how is it for everyone else iam in the manchester area .

I do have a prescription but I don't want any (more) hayfever tablets that cost me £2 over the reinbursement...

rachel83_2

i did the pharmacy one yesturday the tablets cost £4.25 for a pack of 7 one a day tablets i think it would have been a bit more beleavable if i hadnt been collecting a prescription for piriton lol,


does anyone know how long it takes RE to go thru your report there are 2 jobs i was thinking of doing monday but because i am a probationary member there i dont seem to be able to get them?
