Righto folks, off to do 13 jobs today! :j I am actually panicking, I hope I have all my facts straight!! Have a good weekend all! :T

Good luck. Just make sure you take time to write a few notes after each one. Don't forget what's left and right (I always forget that when I've got a lot to do DURRR)

Quiet today, don't tend to do much at the weekend, although just done phone call, and have Gap petrol to do later.

However, I have got 3 catalogue from Aba-i to do, and emailed them VERY late last night to see if dates can be extended. I know they are pretty good with this, but is my email likely to be looked at this weekend, and do you think it may be best to just try and do them all tomorrow?

If the jobs are taken up regardless of no mileage fee, then I can't see TNS putting the mileage back ! Why should they if shoppers will do them anyway?

I agree completely and I for one WON'T be doing them for the new lower fee. I like these jobs as they are quite straight-forward but you have to travel a fair bit to get to the places (well, I do anyway as there are none in my immediate area) and it's just not going to be worth it without the mileage.

I think we should make a stand... like we did on those silly bank enquiry jobs (which I notice are still hanging around).

I consider myself still a newbie as I've been doing this less than a year, but even in that time I've seen fees falling and people willing to take jobs for no fee etc. Pretty soon they'll want us to pay them for the privilege of writing up a report. :eek:

I have accepted a phone call task and am scared!! Don't have to do it until Tue lunchtime (My lunch hour) but the amount of questions that GFK want you to answer is amazing!! I won't remember what they tell me on the phone!! Is the first one always very scary??

Hi Timmne, I know that a lot of the folks on here get really annoyed when people ask questions on how to add clients on Aba-i. I joined Aba-i about 2 weeks ago and I did struggle quite a bit. I think the principle problem is not with how to add a client (I agree that there is plenty of information on that) but who the clients actually are. So even if you know how to add it but do not know which clients to add, you are stuck! The search tool on Aba-i isn't the most user-friendly for the newbies either! Sorry for the vent but I do feel sorry for people that struggle with this MS company!

I would also like to know how to add clients on Aba-i as I have been having all sorts of problems with the site. I cant even log on to them on my own laptop, I have to use my hubbies!

So I would be very grateful if somebody could PM me how to do this please.

Do you use Firefox on your laptop and IE on hubbies? I used to have problem with using ABAi with Firefox but it seems OK now!

And I've PM-ed you about some other clients.

I've just picked up a couple of clothes shops I've not seen/been offered before, perfect timing for pre holiday bits and bobs (the essentials are sorted bikinis x4 and flip flops for when the boat deck is hot but there are always little things you can use as well).

Scub - can you give more info. on the GR clothes retailers? I've never seen them. Is there any specific criteria e.g age range.
