    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?

    Haven't personally worked for Tern, but this does sound about right. I know others who have worked for them and found them ok. As far as i am aware they don't tend to have much work about though.

    If you are looking for more mystery shopping work you may want to sign up for this forum as they post work available and have a huge long list of companies.:D

    Mogchops, fantastic news on the job, so glad you got to keep it:j:j

    sorry to the poorly people, you've both been ill for a while now, hope it starts shifting soon, it must be pretty miserable.

    SM, glad you had a good time with the men in uniform!!

    Hi people,
    Well I've been to the doctor and going bac for blood tests in the morning to see if I'm anaemic. I've had an odd pain since last night - at the bottom right of my abdomen, which doesn't feel like any pain I usually get with the Crohn's so the doc had a prod and just said Oh that's where your appendix is:eek: So being me, I'm a bit worried about this, the pain's been there since last night, I can feel it when I move, not good:o Hopefully it'll go away!!

    Anyway, he signed me off work for a week, so that'll give me a chance to have a good rest. Hopefully the blood tests will show I need some iron. I know I need a B12 jab, it's due this month, so i may perk up soon....hopefully anyway!!

    I have made myself slightly useful today and cancelled the new car insurance policy i took out - to start in April. I'm currently a named driver so have no no-claims to take with me but Tesco seems to be the cheapest. And I made my daughter an othodontist appt in the school hols, so won't miss work....all good;)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
