    Oh dear, that sounds like the type of thing my OH would do.

    Every morning he runs round the flat like an idiot looking for his wallet and keys. No matter how many times i tell him to put it all in one place when he gets in from work, he always loses them.

    Will you get a telling off from GFK?

    and why not:rotfl:


    What do GFK do if you cancel, I've lost 2 points with RE for cancelling a job, think this means I will not be able to see certain jobs now such as the hotels etc.

    GFK have never seen to do anything, this doesn't mean they don't have a secret system or anything!!!

    Morning everyone

    Dinah, that description sounds like me!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Talking of poor organisation - has anyone got any ideas or a well organised spreadsheet to keep track of mystery shopping that I could use please or point me in the right direction? I'm trying to be organised this year on the off chance I get more than one job but I've sat with a spreadsheet in front of me and just don't know where to start!

    have a good day everyone xx
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    Spreadsheets are my Nemisis. The only one I have made was to keep track of my bank accounts, but it literally is name of account, sort code, account number, what the account is used for, how much money goes into it and on what date, and the interest rates - no sums involved!

    Got really giddy last night as there's an MS job in Retford. I'm too chicken to do it! With GapBuster do you have to write it all up or is it like a survey that you do to put in times and everything? And it says I have to do it solo, which I don't really fancy as it's quite rough where I need to go, If I were to order seperate from OH would that be alright? Far too many questions for a simple MS job :rolleyes:

    Can't help with the spreadsheet either Pilchard, sorry! I'll see if I could throw something together at work if you want? Might be an idea to ask Birdie, she had a link for free spreadsheet lessons or something? (might of been somebody else!)

    Right, off to do the housework and make myself a super early dinner. Have a nice day!

    If it says you have to do it solo Cinny then your OH can not go into the shop with you but he can wait outside. Some stores check CCTV so don't think you can trick them.

    None of the reports are freehand writting about your experience with any company, all of them are surveys you tick boxes and sometimes have to put in a sentence to elaborate. By far and away GAP reports are the easiest though, I don't know how their reports are ever of use to the clients but thats their issue not mine!

    Got NIM 2 £15 jobs very near one another on Saturday, gives me a little painting time and will be a clear £25 profit after petrol, which is great. Now to get some more petrol ones to make that free too!
