Have you lost points for cancelling some jobs? I was ill about 8 months ago and cancelled 5 jobs together which I had booked. I am reconciled that my points average will take so long to recover that I am unlikely to ever see any good jobs again- as I don't want to do the rubbish ones they are offering me.:o

I've got like 900 points, so I don't know if it is that? I have everything ticked on the what kind of visits you would like to do thing, so I am really intrigued why nothing is showing.

Grass Roots have just rung me to do a job on Monday - bizarre!

I have hardly any jobs showing on RE for ages haven't done a job for them for a couple of months the 2 jobs that are showing now one has been on for ages in various date brackets (the end date is today so I am hoping it will disappear)and for the fee the distance is just too far and the other one you have to be over 55. So I haven't got many points but am not likely too at this rate. I see all these alerts but just nothing showing so frustrating.

Oh well, so much for saving the money for my holiday - I've just ended up buying a Wii Fit with the money I haven't even received yet :rolleyes: . I suppose I could reason that if I lose weight, I can fit into all those clothes that are put away for that very moment, and then I will save money not buying new ones.

Sorry, this is sort of off topic... I've been getting loads of spam today, about every half hour, offering certain 'enhancements' which I certainly don't need cos I is a girl!!!!

The reason I'm raising it here is that this is on my main email account, which is the one I use for MS and the various surveys etc. I don't think I've signed up to anything recently, but just wondered if anyone else is having the same problem?

Hi, Im new to this msing thing and have stumbled into it from the freebies board. It is advice that I am after, I didnt realise I would have to register as self employed , I was wondering if you guys can tell me if it is worth doing and if it is worth going through all the tax returns etc. I really am clueless as to whats involved and have read the first post saying download software or keep account books. To be honest as I have never had to do this before I think im a little bit scared also would there be many jobs to be done in Scotland does anyone know. Please be gentle with me as I would like to continue doing these mystery visits as I enjoy them I have only done 3 so far and before I get in too deep I want to get my facts straight. Many thanks janeys

Quick question(s) about the RE casino jobs please...

When it says I have to order a spirit and a mixer, is that something like bacardi and coke or vodka and orange? Daft question, I know, but I'm a wine drinker, so not familiar with this kind of thing.

Also, can anyone give me an idea how long this job takes? I had assumed we could have the meal straight away and then go and play but the notes say enquire about the booking process for meals. I'm concerned about time as I have to leave the kids with my parents and don't want to be out too late.

Plus I'm having a terrible day - I KNEW we should have done this job yesterday. I had a rotten night and have a migraine now, just hope I can shift it in time. Hubby is in a mood and really doesn't want to go with me. I just feel like it's all going wrong. I really fancied doing this job but hubby is making me feel awful, like I'm inconveniencing everyone when I really just thought it would be a nice treat for us.

I don't want to cancel the job as I don't want to let RE down, but really feel it's all going wrong. Any advice gratefully received.

Hi
Re the RE casino. Yes it is voddie and orange, bacardi and coke etc.

I enjoyed the casino. Good night out.

Can you not trade hubby in for a younger model.:rotfl:

Like dogs some men need to be trained.

Janeys the tax thing is not too bad. Read page 1 for a run down.

There are as many jobs in Scotland as elsewhere I should imagine. There are a goood few of us on here from the Glasgow area. 1 poster calls us the Glasgow mafia!!
