Is it me or are visits becoming very scarce on all the ms websites?

I haven't been able to book anything for about a week. I think they're all waiting for 6th April tax year or something.....

I know there is a thread for this on the MSE website but I just thought I would let you all know that I went to a 2 hour market research group this morning where we all sat around and chatted about our lives and a certain product that you buy in the supermarket.
It was fun, informative and really easy. I got paid £40 for just two hours work (chatting). Its another good way to make a bit of extra cash for those of us who are skint!
Don't bother PMing me asking me who it was for as there are loads around for all different parts of the country - check it out on Martin's Website.

I seem to have quite a few booked for the first couple of weeks in April but not much for the end of March, so it could be a case of they've spent their budgets this year.

On another note, oh how I wish I'd just been shopping my bank, went in to pay some cheques in the staff were vague, barely glanced at me and communicated with little more than grunts. Trouble is that branch is always like that, acht well, complaint to the old man I live with as he works in one of the offices and can pass it down the chain, again.

Grrrrr... I'm in a bad mood now! Despite checking the GR website just about every 15 minutes today I have just missed 2 jobs because they posted them when I went to collect my daughter from school!

Do you ever feel like the world is conspiring against you????!!!! I've lost loads of GR jobs lately, I think I'm cursed.

Fine I won't PM, I'll ask you right HERE

Only kidding, I'm actually doing one right now - my first one.

It's all online and requires me to visit a forum couple of times a day for three days just discussing erm something. I've spent about one hour in total and comes with a good fee of £60 sitting on thy a***. I think it's ok to mention considering nothing else has been mentioned about the job.

Normally I've seen them in London only. I did post a thread in the Up Your Income a while back but folks thought I was posted unsolicited stuff :rolleyes:

Hi I am new to these chat threads so hello everyone!
I too can never get assignments from GR unless I pick up an email whilst on the laptop.

Where would one find out about how to participate in these sessions? PM if you wish.

Since I can't check personal email from work, I always miss out on the GrassRoots assignments too

I have also never seen any of the bank jobs on GfK that are posted on the alerts thread. Are they just in certain parts of the country? I'd rather like a mortgage quotation at the moment!
