Do you click "save work" regularly? I do and so far, touch wood, dare I say it, etc., I haven't had any probs submitting work and at least you know the bits you've done will be saved?

Same here.:beer:

MSing Tip No. 1: Do not ever, ever, under any circumstances accept a MSing job that requires you to take you 4 year DD with you...
Had to do a job the other day that required me to buy a pair of child's shoes. DD was excited even though I tried to explain to her that we wouldn't be able to keep them, and that it was one of Mummy's 'jobs'. So, anyway, we went into the appointed shoe shop, and DD kept giving me knowing looks and putting her finger up to her lips and saying 'Shhh' loudly!
Well, we tried for about 50 minutes to find some shoes that fitted her and that she liked. Every time the assistant went to the stock room for more i was whispering away to her to say that she liked them and that they fitted well. I said i'd really buy her some new shoes anyway and that these had to be sent back. (Thankfully she needed some anyway).
Never again!

FE and Josie RE said it was a software problem at their end. The report has now submitted. Whew!! Your are both lucky if it hasn't happened to you. Yet all the other MS companies that I do reports for I have never had a problem.

Maybe RE aren't feeding the hamster often enough.:D

Has anyone had any problems entering data for GfK? I have tried several times but I get about halfway through the questionnaire and the computer just hangs. I've tried logging out several times but it keeps happening. I've emailed them and am awaiting a response. I just wondered if it was my computer or if this does happen sometimes.

That's unusual with GfK. If you are using Firefox trying using IE and logging in there.

Glad it's not just me, November is looking seriously rubbish, no Glasgow jobs going at all!

Same here I flit between London and Exeter and there is very little on the horizon.

I have found in recent months that Gap have less London jobs in any event.

Cheers Paul
