I was told you can NEVER take it again! Once you've failed, that's it forever.

I've had a test reset for me with no problems, passed it second time round!

I've never seen a supermarket on GR - is it because I'm a bloke and shopping is a girlie thing??? Are they discriminating against us men???

I have seen the supermarket once too! It was unbelievable... hallelujah!

I failed the pizza test and left it for a few months before I emailed them. I asked them if I could do the test again but I heard no response. I was then able to accept pizza jobs for some reason. I have done one also - this is all without passing the bleeding test! :j

i am thinking of asking them as a ransom if they ring for me to do an urgent job!!

they always ring me at work though so i don't really want the office listening to me asking some to put the chicken one back on - they will think i have gone mad!

I know some of you out there get a mobile phone message when a message has been posted on the alerts thread. How do you do that?
Please, please, please tell me.

Hi All

I am new to MSE, so am hping someone can point me in the right direction.

I am interested in becoming a mystery shopper (otherwise I am on the wrong thread huh) but what is concerning me is doing the self tax/NI stuff! I have read the first thread about this but still a little dubious!

How easy is it really in reality, should I sign up to one of the companies and then sort out the tax stuff or should I do a couple of jobs then do it. i know it has to be done within the 3 months. Oh questions questions.

TIA

Hello Sarah,

I would just do the tax stuff as soon as you've signed up. It really isn't difficult at all. I just rang them, and it took about 5 minutes on the phone to sort things out. It was really easy, so nothing to be worried about

Hi Sarah,

Welcome

It is actually dead easy as Ilona has said. If you don't want to ring up, jsut do it online! Takes about 2 minutes.

BTW you don't need to but in a business name (but do put in the business address as your home address if that is were you're working from).

Not posting to the alerts thread as these will be gone in minutes but there are spanish restaurants for the North West and Leeds on RE now


and they're gone... blimey, in seconds rather than minutes!

Sorry, don't know how to get a phone message - the only thing I know is you can subscribe to the thread - click on thread tools at the top of the page, and you can arrange to recieve email notifications when alerts are posted... HTH
