Yup just had the email, logged in and my job has been taken by another shopper. F*cking raging. :mad::mad::mad:

Same happened to me, I especially like the way Gap sent out an email to tell people there were re-released KFC jobs etc at 4:15, then sent an email afterwards saying they's cancelled mine!!

Just had the email from Gap myself. Thankfully no one had nicked any of mine

Is anyone else on here 'barred' from doing the burger joint assignments on Gap?

I'm barred for being vegetarian. Which is fair enough, as I don't like their ethics, which maybe kind of goes with being vegetarian. But I have to admit I did treat the kids to a trip there yesterday so that I could use their broadband to enter my weekend's shops whilst away. And did enjoy a caramel sundae myself.

Be careful then - the pizza usually costs more than the reimbursement on this one!

Yep its frustrating that isnt it .... I took the job for a phone in and collect one and the fee barely covers it , oh well its almost a free dinner and DH has a chicken job booked for the same night so he can have that and DD and me can have the 'lovely' pizza !

And can I apologise to anyone whose pizza jobs I may have nicked this afternoon (mysterious girl possibly), I didn't know they were already 'owned', I thought they were new!

Hey Timmne,

Good luck mate, I failed paper 5 first time by 2%, I'm not very good with words, although I think I would prefer to do it again than 8. Is this your last one? Where you sitting it? I'm at Luton this time as they are not doing a sitting at Milton Keynes this time, although at least we get a lie in as it's in the afternoon How's your studying going? Do you actually get any of that flippin foreign exchange stuff and the financial instruments? I think I must've got off the bus at the last stop and forgot to get back on as I really seem to be struggling with this one.

I'm a paper 5 failer too... I absolutely hate CIMA with a passion - I'm in the difficult position of being well experienced for my age and have been promoted time and again for being QBE - unfortunately, this has affected my arrogance for the worse so I stopped learning/caring about learning - now I'm 24 (25 next week, gulp) I don't seem to be able to learn things like I used to! Now I'm an assistant financial controller but can't get any further without CIMA!

Grrr.

Good luck to you too - I'm doing mine in Notts.

Have picked up a number os MSs between now and then stupidly - am going to have to really divide my time carefully!

The GAP fiasco earlier lost me a chicken job but I'm actually quite pleased as I really lost interest seconds after accepting it!

This may be too late...but

Just tell RE your comera bust etx and they may let you off as they have "stock" photos of shops.

A couple of months back, my battery ran out so I couldn't take the pic, and they said I had to go back and get one otherwise I wouldn't get paid. I made them wait a few days until I was passing the area again though rather than do a special trip.

How funny is that - that's exactly the paper I'm doing!

It is a stinker but much better than 5!

I did most of the managerial exams when it was the old syllabus so i never did paper 8 or 5. i had to do paper 2 though and i thought that one was a nightmare - took me four attempts to pass.

Passed my topcima on the first attempt in november - that is a tricky paper! i am never doing an exam again!!

Good luck guys!!!

sorry for being off topic mystery shoppers!!

my camera didn't seem to save the photo so i told them what had happened and they said it was ok - still got paid for the job.

I checked GAP after reading here about pizza jobs being cancelled. The one I had booked for next Wednesday says cancelled/rejected They didn't even send me an email about it!!
