    Hmm, I might leave it then. Says I need to sit in there for 15 minutes too, on my own in chav city. Not worth £4! Will just hang tight until something else comes up.

    Well done on getting NIM the 2 jobs, I really need to bite the MS bullets so I get more points and better jobs!

    I'm guessing this is a burger job with GAP Cinny? Don't do them, the client knows you are a MS as soon as you ask for a receipt, and by all accounts it is not a comfortable assignment to get through. Are you registered with any other clients? I would reccomend you try grassroots, ABA-i and GFK.

    I've done a few of the burger jobs with GAP and they weren't awful - I tend to pay on a card so it's a bit more feasible that I want a receipt, but it's probably still glaringly obvious! They weren't bad though and I know they don't have a point system as such, but I thought the more jobs you did, the more became available? Also, I do have a fierce craving now and again!

    Sorry about the bingo MS, Dinah! Everyone has their dappy days! I'd like to do one of those but think I'd be a bit scared.

    With a few companies (RE) the more you do the more become available is true, however GAP isn't one of them, they're very open and all jobs are available to everyone that fits the profile right from registration.

    Ah, I should probably stop eating burgers then! I just got my very first job with RE - just a reimbursement but should be able to buy something to wear for new job!

    That's good. I did a different clothes shop no fee reimbursement only for them at the weekend - cheapest item of clothing in there was £35 and that was in the sale! Way above my £15 reimbursement level!!!

    In the end I got a scarf, but sooo not doing that client again!

    I'm getting quite annoyed with Gap as all I ever get are Burger jobs, nothing else is available! I never seem to get the jobs for ABA-i and I've filled in all of the necessary stuff on RE but I can't even get one measly job to start getting me some points! MS just doesn't seem to work for me!

    Things seems to come in flurries - I've been with RE for about 6 months and this is the first thing that's sensible for me to do! I'm a little concerned as I can't buy something in the sale and I'm not allowed to return it! I'll probably pop in before the job anyway and see if there's anything I want so I don't get all stressed on the job!

    Have you added all the clients onto ABA-i Birdie? They're my new top company, we'll have over £150 coming from them just from thejobs done so far this month, and thats entirely profit!

    Morning everyone,

    Its pretty quiet on here this morning.

    Talking of MS jobs, yesterday one came up for the airport we are flying from. By the time i had checked which terminal we would be flying from it had gone! Never mind.

    Also told OH today is the last day that i am doing any washing before holiday, so any clothes he wants to take that are dirty need to be given to me. At 9 this morning he came down stairs with a huge heap of clothes - at least 3 loads worth!! Grr....men!!!

    Other than that just plodding along trying to pay more of HSBC CC off. I round our current account down every morning anyway, so its all helping. Oh and sold another book on amazon last night aswell.
