Does anyone know with 100% accuracy Bluewater opening times for today - seeing as its Bank Holiday?

Just googled it and several of the shops at Bluewater had their opening hours as 1000-1900; John Lewis was 1000-1800 though. HTH

I cancelled a job last month. Don't think it matters as I can still get jobs and they even called to offer me jobs a couple of times.

I have had to cancel a fair few... they don't seem too bothered.

When do the various companies tend to list new jobs? Is it just random? Do they work/list on weekends/bank holidays etc? Should I be looking first thing tomorrow after the long weekend?

I'm now signed up with 6/7 different companies, but haven't seen anything new for several days.

I tend to check several times a day, as most of the companies seem to put jobs on anytime up to about 11pm!! Have you seen the alerts thread on here ? (hope the link works, I've never done one before!) We put any jobs that come in on this thread and most of us have it set to send an email when someone posts. It is a quick way of keeping up to date with new jobs. HTH

Can anyone tell me (without risk to their home address details/security) what postcode GFK might accept for new recruits?

Bare: They haven't replied to my requests for a car phone call job. I don't have a high enough rating to get a flight. I don't live in Jersey or Guernsey. In 3 weeks there has been nothing that I can apply for. Is it worth continually checking?

Just one more question for tonight If I'm registered as self employed for my other job, do I need to register again for MS, or just add it to my next return?

Persevere with Bare, it took me months of applying for anything I was qualified for before I finally got my first job. I signed up with them in Jan and did my first one earlier this month! It was marked and they paid quite promptly. Looking at the jobs that have been on the board this year, I would say it is worth it. From what others have said, once you have done the first one satisfactorily, others aren't as hard to get.

I had exactly the same experience with Tern as well. Did the first one after several months, then got three more for last week.

Sorry, I have no idea with your tax question, but someone will be along later who will be able to help!
