    Quick q on underground sandwiches. I noticed the questionnaire asks you about hte toilets - are you supposed to eat in? Or can you just check the toilets and leave?

    i have done an electrical shop job for RE today and i took the photo on my phone. when i got home it doesn't seem to have saved - grrr!!

    will they accept the report without it or not? i don;t want ot fill in a million questions then find out they won't pay.

    That happened to me. They did need the photo but they did give me a few days to go back and take it. Is it somewhere you'll be going near to in the next few days so you can pop back for the piccy?

    Haven't done them for ages, but seem to remember you just had to check the toilets and then you could either eat in or take out.
    Here I go again on my own....

    It doesn't say you have to eat in, so there seems no reason to. When I did one, the location didn't have toilets anyway, but I did ask about them.

    Welcome back everyone :)

    Anyone else struggling to complete the discount store report for Aba-i? 830 Characters only to "describe the entire visit"!

    What's the discount store on ABAi? Can you give us a clue at all? :)

    They will accept it as a closed job but will query it, best to email and let them know what happened and that you will go down tomorrow to get that pic.

    They will be happy with that. :)

    How do you close a job before attaching the required picture? I wanted to do this with a different shop yesterday, but couldn't see how.

    Can somebody tell me how long GAP payments should take to come through? I was due my first payment at the end of March for jobs done in Feb, according to GAP's
    FAQs payments are made on the 24th, so surely mine should have arrived long ago?


    P.S. Regarding Street View - probably couldn't screenshot it for a location photo, but it can be handy for getting the left/right if you ever forget to, not that I ever have, honest!

    Hello everyone,

    I posted a short while ago to ask for advice on increasing my income and reducing my mortgage.

    I have had lots of suggestions on reducing my mortgage. Thank you.

    Need some help now with upping my income, please.

    Basically I am now signed up to a few MS sites, namely Retail Eyes and Gap buster.

    I am also signed up for a few survey sites. Ciao and You Gov.

    I have my first MS to do tom which I am looking forward to. It's litterally around the corner from me so worth, in my opion the £4.00 fee.

    I understand that I have to register for being self employed, which I am going to do in a short while. However, what does this mean for the tax credits? As a disabled person I get child care credits and child credits? I don't think I will be earning lots with MS and even less with online surveys.

    Questions)

    1) Will anything I earn be taken off my tax credits?- I don't mind as long as I know
    2) Do the online surveys get classed as income for the purposes of being self employed?
    3) If you do 4 MS at £5.00 per go and need to earn £40.00 to withdraw the cash, then does this get counted as income, as you have not actually been able to get paid?
    4) Are there any other sites which you recommend to top up my income, or to win freebies? The freebies I actually give to my DD school so they can raise funds for the PSG/PSA

    Any suggestions would be really helpful

    Thank you all very much for your kind words, after my operatio nlast Tuesday. You cheered my up no end......I am actually now 6 pounds heavier due to the steriods however feel a lot better in myself as I have focus with my mortgage and savings!
