Yup, did four last night and they took at least twice as long as the company said they would! I was supposed to do six, but didn't manage it because of how long it took! I had to check dates, though, not count things.

Recession I presume, here's hoping it starts to lift soon.

Oh I would agree completely with that - there has been a marked difference in work volume since 8 months ago when things satrted to get tight so I presumed as well credit crunch was playing its part now as well with more shoppers looking for bits on the side.

The green ones on Monday? Yep,, it wasn't helped by no one escorting me around the shop. I did two, the one that should have taken 2.5 hours took 3.5 Some of these places are liked a Tardis.

Same here, well shattered! I think whitelabel is still sleeping it off!

I think its a combination of both companies cutting back and a few extra shoppers. IMO, msing is only worth it if you register with lots of companies and take it seriously taking on lots of jobs. For the average person, a free lunch from RE, say once a week, is not really worth it. I am hoping/thinking, its April and companies are working out their budgets before they splash out on a MS programme.
