    Must be having a 'slow' day today. It's taken me until now, to work out what the Dome phone shops were... :o

    Thanks for the replies everyone! Nads I feel reassured that I've picked 2 of the best ones!
    As for RE I guess I'd be better off selecting only a small distance from me so not to lose out to much! Thanks for the advice on that one :beer: How many would you all do a week/month roughly?

    Am miffed that I missed out on the American Italian restaurant on RE that would have let me treat bf to dinner. By the time I clicked on "apply for assignment", it had been taken by another shopper! I got a clothes shop in that town that same day, so would have been good to do both.

    There's generally not much around that is close enough for me to be able to do it without going far out of my way!

    I'm another one that seems to be doing most of my shops for a loss. :confused: At least with most of the "loss" ones I'm getting something I actually want.

    Maybe that is the problem, don't RE have a rule where you can only do one job a day? I'm asking as I'm genuinely not sure...

    EDIT: Seems I'm wrong, as usual! hehe!
  • Well I have had my morning out and will do the reports tomorrow, but I seem to have missed the RE frenzy :(
    Oh well, I nearly ended buying a nice new laptop, a lovely gorgeous blackberry phone (which I really want now!!!) and got a great load of stuff from kitchen shop so I have had a productive but busy morning!
    Anyone on here got a b-berry and know what they are like compared to iphone (my 2nd choice) as I am really thinking about one for my next contract phone :D

    Glad you've had a good morning. I don't think you've missed too much on RE, as most of us don't seem to have been able to see a lot of the jobs on offer...

    I don't think so. Besides, I haven't determined the day of the clothes shop yet! (Must do so by tomorrow).

    I did 3 jobs for RE on Monday so not sure if they have a 1 job a day rule.

    I know Timmne is in love with his iphone so he'd got for that. My contract is up at the end of the month and I'm yet undecided what phone to get next.
