Doing a fast pizza job for TNS tonight. Has anyone been booking a table? I think our local one gets quite busy (especially with all the vouchers around :rolleyes:), so would rather book if I can. I'm terrible at waiting for my dinner and would be gutted if we had to wait ages for a table.
Can't see anything mentioned in the notes.

I believe that you should not book a table. I think there is a question relating to how long you had to wait? It may be worth checking with your area manager :beer: enjoy

Do you have any postcodes set up as defined areas? Most of mine are postcodes, admittedly spread VERY widely, but I have 120+ jobs available.

I just had place names, but I have now added postcodes too. Do you have London as one of your defined areas by any chance? I done a posh sandwich once - wish there were more of them up north, and the doughnuts too !

Cheers. I think that must have worked as I managed to grab a phone shop within minutes of adding a Wakefield and Sheffield postcode :T

Check your brief, the last one I did, I HAD to book! It must vary

Has anyone done the stairs aids job for TNS? I have done the phone call and booked the visit but the closest I could get to an appointment was a 2 hour time slot. So I will have to wait in for that two hours as well as the probability of an hours visit . Too much to ask for the fee - don't know whether to check with my AM. Has anyone else got a set time or are they all time slots?

Thanks for ESA recommendation I have my first job with them in June. For anyone enquiring about it as I wasnt sure either I applied for two jobs. one disappeared out of my applications (the one i really wanted) and then other one reappeared in my inbox as thats the one i got. did not get sent an email so you do need to go and check.

Just picked up my post off the doormat. ABA really do pay cash. I was stumped thinking this possibly can't be safe. Well my first payday from them I'm happy to say the least.

Can I as when you did the job for Aba-i? I am waiting on payment on two jobs completed on 2nd May. Could do with some cash this week. Perhaps I will get home to an envelope or two. That reminds me, just out of curiosity if I do two jobs on the same day do I get two envelopes or one? Don't know why I care really but I do:rotfl:

I think we have a longer wait (I guess thats payment for April jobs) as I am at home and ive not had an envelope of cash.... i am shocked that anyone sends cash in the post :eek:

I accepted one today - helping is the fact that I've still got my crutches from my op. Haven't read the brief yet but know I have to do a phone call and then arrange an appointment. Would have expected them to give an actual time not a time slot - I mean this is not Tesco delivering the shopping!!!
