    Saw tern advertising locally and ignored it, but remembered it had been mentioned on here so went back and have applied, fingers crossed I'll get offered a test visit!

    I'm itching to start with Tern hearing that :D . I did the test visit & submitted it a week ago, but I haven't heard anything yet. Anyone know how long they take? Maybe I've bu**ered it up :confused: , should have been ok I think.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it, I was starting to think the same but it took about a week for them to come back and tell me I had passed, so fingers crossed you'll hopefully hear soon :)

    Same for me superhez.

    I've just done my first job for Tern and lets say I was very impressed with them. I shan't go into details but they posted all the materials I needed (envelope etc.).

    I agree I do the other sandwich shop and it is so tempting to write "I am only buying a bloody sandwich and a coffee"

    I am becoming a grumpy old man!

    I did the TNS visit (where you have to count the sinks and toilets!) yesterday. Unfortunately we were overcharged so when I queried the charge (the receipt wasn't itemised), the receipt was taken away and I had to get a hand-written one! Obvoiusly this doesn't have the server name on it or the time or the receipt number so I couldn't fill in the report.

    I called my A.M. whose answering machine directed me to someone else, their answering machine directed me to a mobile and then the mobile cut out!! The lady was very nice and called me back once her phone was working and left a message to say that someone would contact me today about it but the problem is that I'm working until late tonight so I may not get chance to fill in the report tonight!

    No-one has called me about it yet but I'm worried about not getting paid.

    AND I forgot to count the toilets and sinks and had to go back in to check!!!! LOL!!!!
