The assigment notes also have an odd condition - apparently you muast buy a MINIMUM of 14 stamps so don't get, for example, 5 x £1 stamps or you r job may be rejected. I've not tried it so I don't know how strict GAP are on this (but they can be a funny bunch so best not to take chances).

I usually go for 8 x 50p & 10 x 10p, or 4 x £1 and 20 x 5p. The 1p & 2p stamps I've had for yonks made up the difference in postage, makes a nice little difference to ebay profits when selling low cost items

Off to do 2 bookies, last time I did this when England played I won +£80 so COME ON ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND , 4-1 & 5-1

Thanks for your help guys...However I have just read Freepostgate! and I believe from reading that I can just send a letter and get a POP and I'll still get paid.

I have some bills to pay so I'll send a cheque off in one of the pre-paid envelopes and see if I get paid for that.

I have a suggestion for the first post: Can we add to the GAP bit to be really careful when doing the orientations so people realise that if they get one wrong, they exclude that client (for ever?)

:money:

It depends what the scenario is, I think.

My wine shops using the voucher have been approved.
Feeling very pleased, and wish I had picked up a few more at the time!

This happened to me too and I was racking my brains to think whether I'd applied to them (I hadn't and never did find out how they got my email address).

Anyway, did 2 frozen food type stores for them as remembered on here that others had worked for them and been paid ok and they were good to work for and paid fine. Just out of interest is yours for the same store, or someone else? Was wondering if they only had one customer as that's all I've been offered with them?

Yes it looks like it is the same place as you visited. Their web-site is not working just now which is shy I was a bit nervy.

St Pancras station is pretty big and has a fair few shops there.

Dunno about Ashford/Ebbsfleet.

TNS sent out an email a little while ago about possible Eurostar assignments.

Doing 2 wine shops tonight and think I'm going to be out of pocket.

The wine I have to buy is £5.48 a bottle. Plus the cost of a bottle of fizzy pop or a bar of choc and that takes me well over the reimbursement.

The wine is on offer, 3 for £10, which is a good deal but they don't reimburse for that do they!

Vicki, I've PM-ed you asking you to tell me what you bought to be able to use the voucher, thanks!
