    Can anyone please tell me how flexible Aba-i are with changing the date of the assignment? I have just accepted one but will not be able to do them until Saturday! Do you think I have committed a sacking offence by asking for an extension?
    They are fab with this. Email them, tell them when you can do it, and they will extend the deadline for you. I do it all the time!

    My twopenneth - I think the 'fruity phones' type ones are tantamount to naming the client, but don't think saying 'catalogue shops' is comparable, although I can see your point about there not being many.

    My tuppence too! I agree and disagree with you cte1111. Yes fruity phones tantamount to naming the company, so yes, say phones.

    There are 3 red shops on there. One of which I love to do, the other one is nowhere near me and the 3rd I'll take if I happen to be in town that day anyway, so would prefer catalogue shop, hardware shop or discount clothes store.

    I think we do go over the top sometimes on the confidentiality bit. I mean unless you use the same log in or something how is someone going to know your first name is uk and your surname monkey - sorry to pick on you - was just the first user name that sprang to mind! Yes, I know we're not meant to, but is it the end of the world?

    Hi

    Just had a stamp shop offered to me by....GR.

    Now I'm confused about who has this contract! But the GR fee is better than the others so not complaining.
    Happy New Year :beer:

    You need to select "Other" instead of local and then put a space in the search box and when it comes up with a list, select the one at the bottom "just search for this term" or something. There aren't many - most in Scotland and a few others elsewhere, unless there are more to be added.

    Result
    Sent an internal message via RE
    Asked if by cancelling two jobs due to sons accident would prevent me being given other work

    They credited me the points back and assured me I was in good standing as a MS with them

    First thing that's gone right in ages (not sure what the points mean but didn't like to see them go down lol )


    Got a food one at an italian !!!!! type diner'ish kinda place this week
    Got a "gentle reminder" from RE reminding me of specific items I had to order and not to get it wrong
    Does this indicate they are being let down on detail by MS'ers ?
    I don't believe it was targeted as I have been so careful
    Wondered if others got them too ?

    Had it with some pubs jobs too an email called a "gentle reminder" that I had booked them ?
    "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:


    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.
