Morning Everyone!

I'm currently on hols with DH and kids, so not supposed to be ms-ing (though I have one lined up for today, but very easy so DH won't notice!). Thought I'd just nose in and you've gone and

a) started a new thread
b) over 3 bloomin pages in already!:p:D

We've also (almost) diversified into prostitution, with Hollypear giving the best rates it seems

Have a good holiday!

Sinders - you'd better not get that job or we're going to see less of you!

... glad to see I'm not the only one trying to MS when they shouldnt be. It's my birthday on Thursday lots of lovely stuff planned with hubby & the kids but then 3 MS jobs come up that pay well and would be quite quick to do but they can only be done on Thursday. I subtly tried to introduce the possibility of me doing these jobs to the hubby but from the look he gave me divorce may follow if I even think about doing them lol. I'm getting withdrawal symtoms already ...

Why a PM?

I think he\she means Edigital Research

Thanks for posting the link for EDR.

They do web based projects mostly surveying websites and their purchase/refund processes though you can do basic surveys.

I thought I'd mention I've had a few PMs lately from newbies that really should be posted here. I'm really happy to help, I'm still quite a newbie myself, but if people ask on here then it helps more of us. And if necessary we can point back to a discussion a few days back. PMs are usually if we're asking very specific info that can't be posted for confidentiality reasons rather than just general info

Hope that comes across as I intended - I'm not meaning to preach or anything

And Hollypear, £50 is wayyyyyy too low

OK, can I ask some questions please?

Firstly, I was wondering who EDR were, too! However, now that you've posted the full name, I have actually applied to them - did the test ages ago. Do they usually take a long time to get back to you?

Same goes for Amber Arch? There are a few companies in the first post of this thread that I applied to ages ago and have heard absolutely nothing. Is that normal?

Oh but that is without the extra's. Should see me in leathers, with whips and Marigold gloves!!:rotfl:

Doing my flight to Cardiff. Wonder what would happen if I shouted "Whoooo wants to join the mile high club"

Saw Lee Evans on TV last night talking about Brits on planes. Said there is always someone who says " Your in my seat" Well he said last time I said back "No this is my seat and I ain't moving"

So the bloke said OK fly the figgin plane if you want.:rotfl:

Lee Evans is the funniest man alive - I've seen him live twice and both times I left in agony after laughing solidly for 2 hours!

Hi ScaredyC

I realised I had started the application process with EDR too but never got around to doing the test.

And I have the same issue with Amber Arch but a lot of these MS companies are quite upfront about the fact they wont contact you after receipt of your application until they've got some work your eligible for.

I can understand why they do that but a lot of those applications take FOREVER to complete, request want pics, test shops, references and all sorts and then you NEVER hear from them again. Think that's why there are some companies referred to on here time and time again and others you never hear of ...

Hi Blindman

I asked for a pm cos the last person who responded to Roxy had also asked for a pm. So I thought there might've been a reason back in the depths of previous threads that I'd missed as to why this particular request being made this way.

Thanks for your response though.
