    Just a quick message to HP if she's around. I did PM you to ask for the React application, but I don't know if you received my PM so I'm asking again... pretty please! Your inbox must be flooded at the moment!

    What's the definitive answer on those TNS phonecalls then? I would like to do another but it does say you must have an 'active' current account. I booked one for the bank where my main account is. I have another account with one of the banks on the list, but the account is pretty much dead - has a few pence in it and hasn't been used for ages. Would people agree that's not good enough to justify accepting a second job?

    As for the other TNS jobs, phonecall and a visit - personally I don't think the fee is good enough when you consider a visit (to your home) is involved. I hate people coming round anyway (I'm a miserable cow in real life!).

    It says you can only do one call per day, one per account and that account has to be registered for phone banking.

    Hollypear, I've also PM-ed you re: React as well and not got an email :(

    Completely different online :A

    You can only do one different bank account every day.

    I would say that second account still fits the criteria they want and I would accept it. That's a perfectly good reason to ring the bank with the question they ask.
  • Has anyone else had a phone call from RE reminding them about jobs for tomorrow. I have never missed a job so I was a little put out!

    No. Are they on the last date of the visits? I wouldn't think it was personal... mind you they could have just called you to see if you will post about it on an Internet forum so they can then match a name to your MSE username!

    They've phoned me once or twice. I guess it's just when they're nearing a deadline and maybe they've had other people let them down. I never took it personally.

    I've had a few before. Was it a released job you picked up? That's the only situation in which they've called me.

    A little something nice in a white envelope perchance?
