    HELP!! Just did a job for GR in an electrical store. One of the questions asked if the product warranty insurance price was detailed on the price stickers and I forgot to look!!:eek: has anyone done any of these and can help?

    thanks:beer:
    I did exactly the same thing today! How very annoying! :o

    I did a couple of these jobs last week. They don't ask you what the item was or how much the insurance was. The 2 jobs I did, 3 out of the 5 items had insurance listed. So just think of a number between 3 and 5 ;)

    I'm not eligible for anything that's on MCE at the moment :(

    For haircuts, I always get mine done by trainees. It takes slightly longer, but is always just as good. I don't go to a college for it, though, I go to local salons where they have signs in the windows. It's usually somewhere between £0-£10 for the wash, cut and blowdry, and I've never been disappointed.

    I've had the same person doing my hair since I was 15 and she was a 16-year-old Saturday girl. I'm now 44 ! So would definitely never do a haircut job! (I won't tell you how much I pay though :silenced::silenced:)

    I've done two MCE haircut assignments and been very impressed both times. I keep getting offered these assignments for some reason and I love doing them but I have to say no, my hair just doesn't grow that fast!

    I haven't got a clue why some people don't get offered them but they always seem to be available in the Surrey area when I live.

    I know it doesn't explain why we can't see the jobs on MCE, but we've sussed that one, but just to say I think it's a chain that only have outlets in the south. I've seen them for elsewhere (not this time tho) and hadn't heard of them in the Midlands or North.

    There is a nice chain of hairdressers that Retail Maxim have in the E Mids, if people aren't with them yet.

    Anyone else got absolutely nothing showing on RE? :mad:

    I keep reading the alerts as they come up and I have a big fat zero jobs available.

    I know it's fastest finger but I was actually on RE when the alert went up and zilch! Things are starting to get a little desperate here as I have only one other job lined up for the whole month!

    I really should sign up with MCE, I've been cutting my own hair for 2 years now and it could do with a propper going over!
