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!

I know exactly what you mean!!! I haven't picked up any new jobs lately - seems they are all posted within about 10 minutes of me switching off the computer to go out! :mad:

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:

the one i have got is a dog one which is fine as i will be buying dog stuff. last one i saw and didnt get was a cat one and if i took the dog with me and then enquired about cats i would definitely get disowned by the dog, epsecially if he wanted to find his favourite biscuits at the time :rotfl::rotfl:i have no choice but to use my purchase on dog treats needless to say and btw if i had to enquire about a rodent i would end up getting one - i am always interested in the ones that desperately need a home but partner manages to get me past them and tell me i am not allowed any other pets

Knowing me, I'd end up buying the rodent, and the cat food, and the most expensive cage as I'd get so excited about a little furry animal. Then I'd get told my assignment was void, and not get any reimbursement for the £100-odd I jsut spent!

Have to admit, the little furry rodent I saw last week was really cute. I had no idea they purred!!!!! I can certainly understand why people would be tempted.

They did have some with little signs on a couple of the cages saying something like 'I was originally for sale but no-one wanted to buy me' and now they are waiting to be re-homed. I felt awful for them.

Part of the reason my boyfriend rarely takes me into pet shops anymore!

My fault I commented on something and then realised I was in the alerts thread - thought I might get a slap for chatting so I deleted it!

I put an alert on there that said "Public tourist visits on GfK" and some people read that as "Public toilet visits on GfK"!!:rotfl::D

Would have really enjoyed doing a Public Tourist visit actually, but it was 45 mins away from me and it's a bit of a trek.

Public Toilet visits though... doubt they'd be pleasant!!!
