    This is completely up to you but you might want to acecpt them and send them an email saying that since these jobs weren't accepted before the Sunday deadline, can you do them on xxxxx date?

    You've got nothing to lose!

    I may just do that. Thanks!

    Can I ask - what's with the spreadsheet? Must have missed something somewhere. Is it something someone has done? If it makes life any easier can someone e-mail me a copy - would be very grateful. Thanks very much x

    Hi Ellie,

    Glad to hear you're on the mend :T Thought, we hadn't seen you on here for a bit, and as for Timmne, he's defo gone AWOL!

    It was me who was sending out the spreadsheet, so if you and juliecallum PM me your email address I can email it to you (juliecallum, you can't attach anything to a PM, hence the need for an email address).

    It's very straightforward and keeps a running total of profit for you, so also handy for those who put the money aside for the tax bill.

    Thanks, what I have done is. opened a seperate account and leave 20% in each month, if not, it will really hurt having to work weeks to pay the tax man.

    A friend of mine left it for about 5 years before he got caught for not paying his taxes, they hit him with a very large bill which he was paying off for months

    Josie, the ones with a number in their name?

    I've seen them for a few months. Nightmare of a report but well worth doing.

    What are you putting in the spreadsheet? I thought they just add things up, can you put dates in then. I have been putting things in a diary and am running out of room, any tips please.

    Oh no no! Don't use pen and paper! Timmne with give you a dirty look if you continue this way!

    Take a look at this screenshot for ideas of what you should include.

    Dont know if its been mentioned already but had anyone noticed that the out of this world Electrical shops which reside on RE are now appearing on GR .......

    Which is quite funny as it means I have now done the same branch twice in under 12 days and with identical questionairres so I think competitor visits are ruled out. Have RE lost it or are GR doing some pilots I wonder to bid for contract ......
    The job notes say its a competitor visit but it doesnt feel like one, the questions are too smiliar to a RE questionairre.

    Mike I am still struggling to figure out the electrical shop you mean. But I did a visit a while back to a building society for ISC. Then a few weeks later did the same branch but with GR. I wondered if some companies split the contracts.
