Evening all, well today has been much better, thank god, because i don't do miserable well:rotfl:
Got home and the mystery shopping company have't said anything, it was one where you have to take a photo of the meal before you eat it, so they know i bought the right thing, its just the receipt doesn't say the meal. Its just a shame as this is the first time in years this has happened and am angry with the staff member, because if i needed the receipt for business purposes, i now wouldn't be able to use that receipt for taxes etc. Not all bad though as have managed to pick up seven mystery shops tonight including two for tomorrow to a place i was going to anyway:T
Ktjazz, glad the concert was good
Smellyoldsock, hope your OH is ok after the op
Hi to all the newbies on here, look forward to many more posts from you
Oliveoyl i had a similair prob with RE yesterday, infact that was the reason i couldn't find the sandwich shop, i phoned up RE and they didn't know either! Have to say, i do like RE otherwise, have always got on well with them.
Claireabelle, its was for a company called Business Blueprint, i actually recommend them as they are a good company and pay very well.:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Hello all
Been a long time since I posted but have been lurking and continue to be amazed and in awe of all of you, but particularly andans 'lists', and sophiesmum's ability to know when people need a bit of support and encouragement! :T
Too tired to type a list, am in the middle of trying to remortgage, perhaps not a good idea in school hols (this is the only time of day I can get online - pesky kids!). :rolleyes:Everything keeps going up DD wise too - have daily meter read at the mo and have threatened to cut plug off the console if not switched off at socket! :eek:
Thinking of Charlotte ( smellyoldsock) too as she seems to have a lot on at the moment.:A
Belle -x-Getting there...slowly!

No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.0 -
