Hey, yeah, they've done the same with me!!!!! What's going on? This is most unusual. They have never done this before. Looks like it's time for another complaint! :mad:

and me, I am very annoyed about this, my Husband has just been made redundant so I desperately need this cash.... grrrr. I be they come back with some excuse about snow and office closed for a few days, rah rah rah.

I'm afraid it is usual. The payment date always slips from the 15 days due to the next one.

They do at least pay, but it is another reason to ditch them TBH

Can someone remind me how to capture a page, please?

press the print screen button which should be on the top right hand of your keyboard, just above the numeric keypad

Thanks for this jobbingmusician, great idea. I am having several thick moments today - could you tell me how to paste onto RE because I can never do it lol and therefore I am not sure what you mean by the sentence I have highlighted in red. Sorry - should change my name to Dumbo x

Josie is right. Type into Word, highlight the text you want to paste in and press control and c to copy. Go to the input page (this is what I was calling the RE page with the report on it) put your cursor into the box you are answering, and press control and v to paste.

Sometimes the RE site misbehaves (what a surprise!) and you can't see that the text has arrived. Move on to the next question and it should pop back. It is advised to use IE for this process as some other browsers lose spaces in the text during this process (yet another RE glitch :mad: ) - but if you do lose spaces, it will pick this up in the spell check.

The alternative is to type directly into the RE site. At the end of each question, press control and a (to select all the text in that box) then control and c to copy, then go to Word and press control and v to paste your text into a Word file. That way you will have it for next time - or to send to RE if/when their site crashes.

You will find that if you do repeat jobs for RE, man y of the questions require EXACTLY the same text on many visits ('The staff member was well presented and smiled as I approached the till') - having a pre-set up file saves A LOT of time!

I have been offered 2 visits which are too far for me. It is visiting showhomes and assessing the sales technique etc. The allocator said I can put it on here to see if any of you live within travelling distance...it is Cumnock and Lanark. Good fee and petrol paid. PM if interested and I will give you the details etc.

I just love these visits as it is so nice to look round show homes...and dream of winning the lottery.

Really? I've never noticed it happen before. They owe me quite a chunk this month and I really need it. I hope there isn't a delay.

I never have that much owing so it doesn't bother me. They always pay up though.

There are lots of telephone jobs on RE right now. All holiday calls if you have registered for the business calls.

My RE pay has slipped as well.

Bit fed up with them at the moment have had the same 11 jobs showing for ages

4 I need to be travelling on a ferry for
2 are for a very dodgy pub that I will not be visiting
5 are nice jobs supposedly 11 miles away but are in fact at least 150 miles away!

Just done my last MS job today and have no more booked with anybody so could do with some jobs showing.
