It's a gender thing isn't it? Only males can do it IIRC.

Some men on here can't see them either tho? I take it you can?

I looked at these, but it doesn't tell you what you have to buy until "stage 4", i.e. after you've accepted the job. I want to know if it's something like a magazine or book of your choice or do you have to buy Caravanners' Monthly or something?

Would you elaborate please? Mind you, they've probably gone in the time it's taken me to write this, but if anyone else has done them before can give me a pointer, much appreciated please.

No problem. For both of mine I have to buy a bottle of specific water.

I did one today and I had to buy a coffee of my choice. For the coffee one I only got re-enburst the amount the coffee cost even though there was a specific spending amount but the water one I got re-enburst the whole spending limit.

Hope this makes sense. Also the questionnaire wasn't too bad to fill in considering what some of them are like on RE.

I'm a girl and I can see the ones for the DIY shops that you had to be accepted onto a special panel for but don't see any of the other (regular?) ones.

OK, thanks, don't think I'll bother then. I'd do it for a book or something but bit out of my way for a coffee or water. Cheers

OK, now it's getting intriguing!! Special panel?? If it's the ones I think it is then their loyalty card is called "Spend & Save"? Used to or may still be part of the Argos group,

Josie I have to admit I haven't checked!!

No, it's not worth going out of your way for. The two I did today were on my way to my friends and the two I've picked up today are round the corner from work so not out of my way.

Although you could get the water and something else that would still be included in the re-emburstment fee.

An email got sent round last year asking people to apply to be on a panel to do these shops. Not sure about the spend and save thing but they are green and orange if that helps?

Still no diy shop for me on TNS and I am a member of the 'spend & save' scheme.
