    I thought that purple roses - but being the chatterbox that I am, and ex PA so I can type quickly, I've just rabbited on about all the shops that I love and dislike, all the restaurants I've eaten in - what I liked, whether the staff were nice or not. That sort of thing. I've spent an hour and a bit this evening and done 14 of the 50 so far. Also if you get to the next level you get an Ipod shuffle as well - that would do another chrimbo present. I'm quite enjoying it

    Hi all,

    I'm a bit late but I've only just found this thread, it's fab!
    Please can I join? Can I go for £150 as we are half way through the month?
    Thanks! Can I ask what mystery shopper sites you recommend? I've looked at several but recommendations are better!

    Hi - I use abaresearch.co.uk for mystery shopping - they have mystery shops at Selfridges, BP, Argos (these are particularly difficult), Arcadia Group, TKMaxx. ABA are a really friendly bunch too and are prompt payers (they send cash in the post:eek: ).

    Well, my chap has now left to attend his course (he comes back on Friday) and said that he had looked in my fridge and decided that I needed some shopping so he gave me £100:j - my guess is that I will use £40 and save the rest.

    Fab, thank you. I'll have a look.

    I didn't mean to stay up this late, but couldn't resist trying to finish my points total at bingo port, and have managed to get a £5 amazon voucher - with some scratches etc i'm just about on target this month, tho for some odd reason I'm counting the scratches as I do them, not as I actually get the money in my hot little hand. Temporary brainstorm. I'll start counting it differently when I get the next money (if its still going, and if I ever *get* the next money).

    Mystery shopping - I wouldn't actually recommend any of them. I do work for grassroots, gfk and retail eyes. Good luck!
