sorry guys but at risk of being vile, my hubby thinks Scouse is more of a speech impediment with all the schlurring..I don't mind, it means the ravishing Cheryl Cole is invisible for him cos he can't get past the accent!

Yeah, but she's a Geordie!

Anyway, Two of Gap customers that I know have disappeared are one of the petrol stations (green) that has appeared on abai and the high street kids' store (green too) - not sure where that one has gone - anyone?

Josie, Someone who wouldn't tell me where they have gone to said that they are in the hand of the same company that now does the old Grssroots DIY store. but I will find out one day.
I think the computer shop is just not done at Xmas.

I have done a computer shop for GR so thought they had been lost from Gap as well as the elec shops, as for the DIY shops, I have no idea who does them now....I just thought they were on a break

Is that the indian dish one? I meant the other one or does GR do them 2?
I have begged and begged but they wouldn't tell me who does the toy one I can only suspect that it is the company that want essays in the report since they are the only ones I am not registered with!

oops Josie you are right! Goes to show how much notice I take of accents really! (And how little attention I pay to x cr*ptor)
Anyhow, Leila1 I would love to know who you think wants essays in their reports cos lately I have felt that loads of them do!

I guess we all have our different reasons for favouring or disliking certain companies, (HP and RE being a commonly known example!) but I guess it's each to their own; I remember being staggered by MikeLB (a hugely experienced shopper) when he said they were one of his personal faves. I guess it's just a case of trying each co and seeing who works for you!

I dont do Gap anymore I must admit but for nearly 2 years I could not fault them in anyway at all and the extra payments I earned went a long long way to clearing my mortgage, but as you say time moves on, contracts disappear to better paying easier to work for companies and your allegiance changes as well. Gap are proving more and more difficult to work for now and they have lost some really good clients too. Which reminds me, how do you sign up for company who does the green fuel stations ...... PM me if you know!

There's a scam MS email doing the rounds at the moment. Hubby got it and thought I'd signed him up to do a job! If you get anything like this in your email, then delete it.

I guess aba-i ought to be on page one - Timmne, please?

Here is the FAQ page on signing up http://www.aba-i.co.uk/nl/signup/faq.aspx

Payment is cash or gift voucher through the post :eek: depending on the job, but usually a couple of weeks afterwards, I'd say.

I guess it's possible that with the "current climate" that some places may stop mystery shopping - something easy to cut back on? Maybe that's what's happened to the toy shop?

HI All,

I am a total newbie to MS. I haven't registered with anyone yet. I wanted to clear something up first, I work for a limited company and wondered whether I still have to register as self-employed to do MSing ro would I simply declare it as "other oncome" on my tax return?

Cheers
Andy
