  • Has anyone ever heard of Tern Consultancy mystery shopping. They say in their privacy terms they may need to share your address with other mystery shoppers to enable them to execute their work effectively. Does this sound right to anyone?

    I haven't heard of them, but would advise to take care - you do not know who these other mystery shoppers are with whom they will be sharing your address. I thought the idea of mystery shopping is that it is done under cover?
  • Well I thought it was a bit strange. They seem ok and someone else said they are very legit and other ms'ers may use your address as a fake one in a shop, but I am a bit concerned my details may be given to a company who then ring up asking for someone else and like you said, you don't know who these people are, they could use my details to take out a new loan or anything

    Not much for me - spent £1.20 on the bus fare and got lunch in the subsidised canteen for £1.40. Will be getting the bus home for another £1.20 as I'll be in a different office later today and not ideal for walking back home!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Afternoon everyone

    Today I've not done a lot, not feeling my usual self so I'm going to post this then go for a lie down I think.

    Today I have;
    • Received a lovely big bag of sweets from Swizzels on my doorstep this morning. Wrote to them last week about a bag of sweets we had bought (It was all one kind of sweet (fruity lollies) and I only normally buy the bags for the refreshers) so they've sent me a jiffy bag full of sweets as an apology. I wasn't expecting it at all!:j
    • Rang BG about my electric bill....seems like they're taking the mickey:mad:
    • Sorting out finances ready for tomorrow's pay so I know whats mine and whats not
    • Washing Hokey Cokey

    So yes, its good news, I have been matched into my current role - so am safe and secure!! Am soooooo relieved, its a huge weight off my mind, so I can concentrate more fully on DFW issues!!! :rotfl:
