There's an alert for RE doughnut jobs, checked a minutes later and can't see them anywhere up north! :mad:

I have done one before. I am wondering if it is because i just released a pub job - accepted it by accident, in a hurry in the first place. Or maybe I have just missed out!

It was me that put the alert on. I could only see one in my area (50 miles around Manchester) which I took I'm afraid, but thought there would be some in other areas which is why I put the alert. Apologies if everyone is disappointedly looking for donuts, I quite fancy one now, just imagining the sugaryness.

thank you :beer:i had no idea this existed either, no idea why they cant just tell u about it seeing as you need to know this to do the work :rolleyes: someone pm-ed me how to do this as well :beer:!
but only one page prints instead of 7 so im just going to make myself some notes from the screen for each of them if anyone else knows how to get all 7 pages to print please let me know for next time. for both i get the intro and nothing else and on preview other pages are all blank and it just prints off the page numbers with no content. i am on a mac which maybe is the problem :rolleyes:

If only one page is printing, are you using Firefox? I think in I.E. it prints correctly, but in other browsers it might not.

Commisserations. I'm not sure that there is much point ringing them, as they never seem to explain why they just spontaneously sack people, and it has happened to quite a few people on here.

Not your fault for the disappointment (the company should have more sites up north!) I have just checked their website and they only have a few shops anyways, with most in the south east.

I done this donut (sorry doughnut!) job a few months ago, they are delicious :P Enjoy

Gosh RE are busy this afternoon. As well as the usual pubs, other restaurants seem to be appearing 1 by 1, so keep refreshing. At this rate I shan't have to cook for the rest of the week. Not sure it will be doing my diet much good though!

See the problem is the delayed gratification of the MS money. I am currently receiving payments from the jobs that I did a while ago, so think it feels like I don't need to do any more. But given that I will have no money at the end of June if I don't do some work now, I have managed to force myself out and have written up 2 of the 3 reports already.

My blinking sat nav ran out of power after the first shop (forgot to take the charger) so had to ring my OH for directions, but apart from that it went OK today. Had a right miserable cashier at the petrol station, hope they teach him how to smile and say please and thank you after my feedback. And my car is looking much cleaner which is a bonus. :beer:

Also lined up a couple of pub meals for later in the week, free food might well motivate me if nothing else!

Glad you got sorted in the end! I had similar problems with our satnav. She went to sleep on me twice, claiming she had lost the satellite signal! :eek: Then, right in the middle of a busy street she announced I had reached my destination, but I couldn't see the bloomin' place anywhere!!! And then, all jobs finally done and dusted I was trying to navigate back home and she had me turning around where possible 3 times on the same bloomin' road! Silly cow didn't have a clue where she was taking me!!!

That's OK, let it all out. Hope that feels better now. :j

Keep checking, I reckon we're due another load later on, as I've seen 1 Spanish restaurant, 1 wine bar (which I'm boycotting as sick of the silly queries and too many drinks to be ordered) and 1 burger place, surely there must be others coming later?
