You'll be proud of me today - 2 audits and a M/S! Not in your league but that's all I can cope with.:D

Thats brilliant, I've never done an audit one. When I do a lot in one day its not the actual 'shopping' bit I mind, its the hours on the computer typing up reports afterwards!

Some money news now:

I have been paid by two of the MS companies today: £50, lots more still owed:T

Had to withdraw cash from the bank account yesterday:eek:. I hate dipping in, would much rather raise any cash we need from selling off bits n pieces etc. However we saw dog kennel for sale in the local paper, funnily enough the chap wouldn't take AMEX:rotfl:. One happy little doggy and me £40 the poorer.

Also bought a little drawer unit (bargain at £20) to go in the living room and help me keep all my papers in one place until I finally get to file them away in their rightful homes upstairs. (How do I hide it beside the sofa so hubby doesn't see i've been spending?)

Ebay has been going quiet well, managed to withdraw £100 from paypal and still enough in there to pay the £26:eek:fees I have accrued so far.

Have two burger jobs for tonight so thats tea sorted (eww).:p

Got a pizza job for Saturday lunch time, hopefully it will be as nice as the last one, I had never been before Mshopping but was pleasantly suprised.:D

Payday tomorrow from my 'real' job, fingers crossed it will be correct,(but I doubt it).:mad:

Should be able to put a good chunk away this month due to hubby being over taxed last month and being refunded it this month and me being owed lots of Ms money.:T

The audits are great, I do ones for a well known petrol station. You have to introduce yourself as you have to follow their store plans to check the store is in line with the company requirements. It takes about an hour but the input on the website only takes a few minutes as the questions are minimal. Payment is £15.

I didn't get these until I'd done quite a few m/s beforehand, so maybe they'll offer them to you when you've been doing it a bit longer.

I had a burger one too, there is definitely one location that suspects I'm a m/s makes me laugh to see them rushing about but the report will never be accurate because of this.

You can't hide it, just distract him by doing something (;)) at the other end of the sofa which takes his full attention....

Well tonights was a total farse! I ordered, staff member turned around and shouted 'Medium Gap Burger' omg!!!!!! Then proceeded to come around to the front of the counter once I had sat down and was clearly writing my description on a piece of paper (would love to read that!).

I did as suggested













sung ABBA but all he did was cover his ears whilst the dog joined in with me:rotfl:. That was what you meant wasn't it Stuart?;):p
