    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I've got 3 in the same town and a coffee job for the same day so I'm quite happy!


    Same here!
    This is what I always try do do, as these particular jobs don't take long, the fees mount up & only one lot of train or bus fares.
    Plus I've just got another job in from another company & the fee is really good so I'll do that while I'm there - so not bad!:D
    ;)

    Yes, I suppose they are ok for filler jobs - and I didn't realise you could use your own choice of enquiry, so that makes it better. Without any other work in the same place, though, I wouldn't drive into town for just one of those.

    Sorry if I offended anyone, I just felt the fee was low, but as I say, maybe ok for filler work.

    I did a couple of these last week, the visits only took about 5 mins and the questionaire is very quick to complete. I know the fee is a bit low considering you don't get any "perks" but I was in town anyway on that day and am glad I did them.

    Guys - I've set up a new, slimline thread, now it's spring!

    Here it is.

    (I'll get the old one closed when a BG is about)
