    Overtime = money so all good stuff duchy! Have a fab time in vegas!

    I have done all the surveys I can - got screened out of most of them but managed to gain an extra couple of ££ along the way, so that will have to do -it all adds up in the grand scheme of things.

    When OH gets home from work I need to go out and do the last part of my mystery shop assignment - it has to be finished by tomorrow so it is a case of doing it now or not at all, and I have come too far to throw it away now, especially as it is the best part of £100 to come my way!

    Right, last part of that mystery shop done and input and I am so furious!!! I had a 5 part assignment where I had to join a gym and go through induction, and then ask about cancelling my membership. When I asked if there was any chance I could cancel, the manager told me I would be referred directly to a debt collecting agency.

    WRONG MYSTERY SHOPPER TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT TO, MATEY!!!!! It was quite intimidating, and even though I know that my contract WILL be cancelled by the mystery shop people, and I don't actually pay anything - I left there feeling physically sick! He didn't run through the contract, or explain the procedure should I wish to cancel my direct debit etc, he just said I would be referred to Icon, their debt collector.........

    Needless to say, a suitable report has been completed and submitted. Staff training required there I think!

    :mad:

    Still, £50 coming my way, so worth getting cross about, I suppose!

    El, it can only be the running that has been helping me lose weight - my head is not really geared to counting points and not eating chocolate at this point in time, so it really must be the running! Don't get me wrong, I am not pigging out or bingeing but I am not exactly tracking every morsel that crosses my lips :o Plus it is Christmas.....too much good food around :D

    That's shocking isn't it. Makes you wonder how many of their members are still paying £x a month because they daren't cancel in case it screws up their credit record :mad:

    He didn't even know what the cooling off period was or anything......! But as he was giving me all this threatening stuff I just kept thinking "keep going, you are going to regret this"!!!

    I quite hope the head office ring me to follow up my report.........now that would be fun!
