I can't get on to RE and I'm having problems posting on here... it's going to be a quiet afternoon - might have to do some work.

Are others getting a message that their reply is too short when posting on here...?

Yes, I did earlier .. very annoying

Just seen the kitchen shops for the first time on RE. Can't believe a good company like that is with RE....would have had them down as maybe a client of OC, Tern or perhaps GfK.

I jobbed this store in July 2007 and again in July 2008, both times for RE. Quite easy job as I recall. Shame I missed out this time!

Would someone be kind enough to PM details of the kitchen shop, none have come up in my area so curious as to who this is.

I have just been looking at Abai, is anyone with them?

I have read their FAQs and it looks like you have to make a purchase (minimum £??) and for your troubles you get a £?? bottom-man gift voucher...

Now that might be useful but am I right in thinking they don't reimburse the purchase? In which case this seems a very poor return!

Or have I got the wrong end of the wrong stick?

(Edited - apparently I'm not allowed to say how much the voucher is for, so you'll have to look on their website to find this highly classified information:
http://www.aba-i.co.uk/nl/signup/faq.aspx )


And do you declare vouchers on your tax return?

Hi Andy,

Could you please remove names and fees from your post as it infringes the T&Cs of the MS company.

Yes, you've got the right idea. However, I always return my purchase so it doesn't eat into my profit!

And you do need to declare vouchers, so you have to register as S/E too (see 1st post).

Also you are allowed to return the product for a refund if you wish

Oops, so have I - didn't read this far down first...:o

I've messed up and transposed a couple of figures in the bank account number I gave RE, now I know why I haven't received my first payment from them. That'll teach me to make sure that it's right for the next payment. I can't afford to keep working and pay my wages to someone else. Stupid girl that I am! Good job it was only one job that they paid me for this time.
