    I've reached my target of £150 yesterday, not including my 12 euros.

    I have another £38 booked for the rest of the month, but hopefully I can find more assignments. The sites I look at have been quiet this week.

    I've not joined on this thread, but it is nice to read of all your jobs!

    I work full time, so try to get one or two jobs a week, but it's a hobby for me rather than anything else. I've actually been quite busy this month, but unfortunately most of the jobs I've done have had very small fees, or the fee has been mostly swallowed up by the required purchases (in which case I classify it as more reimbursement than fee!). I've also been somewhat thwarted by my location, I think, as there really don't seem to be very many jobs local to me that I can access during a working day!

    I think I'll be hitting £30 in fees this month, excluding those reimbursement-type fees. :)

    quite happy with my target and although i intended to take the rest of the month off from MS ive had a few phone calls begging me to take some urgents, so doing a pizza ( reimbursement no fee = free lunch) 2 bank jobs in same road, after midnight club visit tomorrow night which was ment to be a reimbursement only which ive now got a good fee and mileage for, thankfully not relying on rest of the month to beat my target as i agree it is otherwise very quiet
    nothing booked in for next month either, shopefully that will change soon

    50p away from my target - but I have loads of jobs booked for the end of the month! Quite pleased with myself, this is only my first full month of MSing and I can only slot visits in between proper work so I have exceeded my expectations! XD

    I've done 3 jobs today (phone shop, kitchen shop & catalogue shop). Another £34 towards my new target.

    Mind you, felt like I really earnt my money. And in the phone shop heard staff behind me mentioning 'mystery shopping checklist', and then trying to join in on the sale, much to the disgruntlement of the woman that was meant to be serving me. Oh dear. Not sure if they had spotted me or if they just knew it was likely to happen today, but hope I still get paid for the job.
  • I've not long started mystery shopping. Can anyone give me any good companies to work for. Already work for grassroots and jfk.
    Thanks

    Yay, I've just passed the £103 mark, however next month isn't looking fantastic. May struggle to get anywhere near £100 in April.
    Too much month, not enough Cash!

    Make £11000 in 2011 challenge - current total £1358.77
