    Managed to grab 1 pet store, 1 phone call, 3 petrol, 1 funeral, 2 phone shops, 1 chicken and 1 burger joint. Oh and sorry folks...I managed a haircut too! In need of a coffee now.lol.

    Mind boggles at the funeral visit :eek:. It's one thing enquiring about a stair lift for an 'elderly relative';), but another planning their funeral :eek:
    Now proud Mumto3 :j

    Did a supermarket competitors shop for TNS today.

    The store was horrid :mad: I couldn't wait to get out and I definitely won't go back.

    But, it didnt have a cafe or a petrol station. I know it's only a matter of pennies but should I still claim the full amount?


    No - I wouldn't claim for the bits they don't have (or aren't open).

    yes I got a pet store too. I had been toying with buying some more fish so this made up my mind - won't be much of a specimen for the reimbursement, though. Surprised they only let you have one store as two could have re-populated my tank (given time!):rotfl:

    I'm pretty sure the notes for the last one I did said you werent allowed to use the reimbursement towards livestock, might be worth checking the notes again just in case, although even if they have changed it I wouldnt trust that particular store anyway (had problems with fish from several different branches bringing infections in to my aquaria:mad:).
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Oooh, I would have loved a pet shop one! Could have got some treats for the cat! Will have to keep my eyes pealed if any near me are still to be released or will get re-released.

    Managed to pick up a Catalogue shop on Aba-i. My first job for them so fingers crossed. 2 jobs booked for this weekend... lets see if I can manage to pick up anymore!

    Thanks everyone for the FAB alerts thread.

    I feel a bit awkward about these - I've only ever done two pet shops but both involved making an enquiry about buying a small rodent and how to look after it... then for my purchase I went and bought a multi pack of cat food!!!! :rotfl:

    OK everyone, I'm off out for the day, so I'm sure all the jobs will start appearing in 5 minutes time. Don't take them all, leave a few for me!

    Thanks to everyone who advised me about my disappearing report on GfK, I phoned them yesterday and they came back to me a few hours later to say that they could see I had entered the report, and that there appeared to be a problem with the validation at the end. It might have been their website, or it might have been me, but either way they were still happy to pay me :j.

    So once again thank you :D
