do you have a full time job as well? i am trying my best to avoid the free meals etc now and go for ones with a fee. i need the cash for my debts!

i think sod the tax as well. it's only 20% of profit which shouldn't be more than £150./£200.

I'm the opposite, I like to do the free meals to reduce the tax on other jobs, but I won't do a job where it's just a service one and you don't actually buy anything as it usually appears to be less than the min wage. At least if you can get some stamps, supermarket food etc., it kind of doubles the fee.

But hey! Each to our own and at least there are more jobs to go around this way!

I had a great day out in another town, and the clothing retailing MSing job was thoroughly enjoyable; it's a new client for RE so look out for them.

RE is really quiet in my area (Glasgow), last few weeks were up to 40 jobs every day but now it is just the same 4-5 ......

i will probably keep on doing ms and just pick up the free meals etc once i have saved for my wedding and paif off the debts.

i do quite like taking my friends out for the meals - they always seem impressed when i tell them is mystery shopping.

if only they realised how many questions i have to answer for their free meal!!

Finally remembered one of the companies I'm with that do Cinemas - www.firstmovies.com/FirstTracking.
That page should have all the info & sign up details.
When I log on at the moment there are jobs in February for Glasgow, Bluewater, Bristol, Peterborough & Reading. I've had emails from them but not been able to get to that particular Glasgow one. They do various types of jobs - checking trailers, foyers etc.
