Fastest finger first! Jobs gone before they come on.:eek: Someone beats you to it, while you read the brief:mad: I dont think me nerves can take anymore. I though this MSing was fun at first, Now I am a damn b****y wreck!!! And an OBSESSIVE one at that. All that talk of coffee....I need a drink!:beer:

...although interestingly, once my batteries ran out on my scales, GAP refused to pay to have them replaced! Rather cheeky, I thought....

On a separate note, has anyone noticed that the 'premium assignments' appear to have...well...disappeared from Gap? I recall not so long ago a 7 x fee offered for a certain coffee outlet in the SW!

PM me as well please. The only jobs I've got in June are burger jobs and I'm supposed to be on a diet. I'd love a cinema job

I know I started a diet then got 9 food & drink jobs :mad::rotfl:
Diet starts next month :A honest

Ok have contacted IR re self employment as per first post on this thread
Have downloaded one of the accounting packages recommended

Now I read lots on here about spreadsheets and obviously some of you long term MS'ers have taken time & effort to create these for yourselves
Is there anyone who would be willing to pm a copy of such a spreadsheet ?
I would truly appreciate it

I am determined to be super organised from the start but am worried I will miss something obvious as I have not done this type of work before

Thanks in advance of one of you saving my tortured soul

phones on gap.

Thank you, and I'm not telling you off, honest, just a friendly request - please read previous posts first - the one immediately above yours was saying exactly the same thing.

Is anyone else like me, sitting here refreshing the Gap "Jobs Available" page every few seconds expecting to see another flurry of jobs appear?

I know:o stupid computer:mad:. I hadn't had any alerts on my email and when I checked alert thread it wasn't showing. I even f5'd it. So I type my little alert in and then there's the same one sitting above it:eek:.

Yep - those were the days!!

I regularly got six times the fee for three of my coffee jobs - even now, I'll ask for extra if they phone me to do them as they are miles away but it's a day out for me and if I can fit them in with other jobs and SHOPPING I'm in my element!:j
