    you're not the only one feeling like that Sinders :( I've rushed about doing quite a few this week, it's taken masses of time, and I've not made that much ££ out of it...... still doing reports now!

    TIA :)

    Going fab, thanks - if someone had said to me at Christmas last year that in 12 months time I'd be 4 stone lighter I'd've laughed my socks off!!!

    So for obvious reasons I purposely got the Gap greasy Burger, Fried Chicken & Pizza eligibility questions wrong so they don't show up!!!!!!

    RE have just put up pub jobs with a £2.50 fee and no purchase though you do need to visit the pub.

    They are getting worse and worse.

    That is terrible, I wouldn't dare go into a pub and not buy anything, the only time that I do that is if I need the loo, and I dont like doing it then.

    Is this a normal assessment (ie not the supermarket that someone mentioned where you have to check hundreds of items)? If it's a normal type of job they like about 50% of the comment boxes filled in, though I often write a lot but spread it over less than 50% of the boxes. So some boxes will have lines and lines of comment and a few will have just one line, and some with nothing at all. They seem to like as much detail as possible.

    Hi all (again)

    I am hoping someone can help me with TNS...

    What should we enter for mileage claims? All of it? some of it? what basis do we use?

    All help much appreciated.

    Thanks All!

    I had this earlier today - I clicked on the function setting start linkie - it takes you back to the home page without any passwords etc - then close the whole page down, tried again and it worked. I had this page about 5 times before I tried clicking on stuff - so try that.
  • All of it, Ellie, that's what I've heard most folk do! Treat it like an additional fee but make sure your tax return accurately records mileage for tax purposes if you swim. Then you are separating money in from money out and that's what mr taxman is interested in.

    hi Paul, hi folks, interesting view, that - I am starting to feel like it's not worth doing anymore. But maybe that's just overkill cos I've got 7 jobs tomorrow and 4 on Sun and 4 on Mon and I did 4 yesterday.

    I think I'm starting to feel like I won't actively look for jobs but will take only those that suit my plans and then hopefully at the last minute so that there are premiums. I realise that at some point I may be binned by various companies but I'm just not sure I'm willing to work so hard for bottom dollar any more. (sob)

    Hi Sinders

    I agree with you, find myself doing more around other parts of my schedule, used to go out purely to do a batch of jobs. The constant filling in of reports gets on your nerves as well.

    GAP has come to a standstill as I have limited clients to choose from and I have found that they have less and less London jobs (or they have more London shoppers!)

    Good luck

    Paul
