    which MS company? It would certainly be a learning experience but fee would need to be a little more than usual... do you need to try the box out for size, or, as they call it, "receive a demonstration"!?:A

    am going as late in the afternoon as possible but within the time stated in the brief. As it is on a Friday if I lay in the box they would find me snoring after 5 minutes! I must admit I had hoped for a visit to an old peoples home bu curiosity has got the better of me on this one..........also I have to leave the premises and then re enter and `reveal myself¬. This could be quite scary if no one saw me leave...

    I'm doing a Torso shop on Monday and can't wait 'cos I desparately need some nice rich body butter!

    I can recommend the shea butter one.

    Just did a shop before my hols and said I wanted something rich as my skin dries out in the sun. That was the one the lady recommended and I bought two big tubs as it was on offer. The body butter was so good and my skin looked so nice that hubby started using it too :D

    Back to work today with some audits to do. Had three weeks off altogether and I don't want to go back :o
    Here I go again on my own....

    "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:


    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    An urgent warning to all BARE evaluators!

    I recently conducted the car parts price calls for Bare last week, where one had to call to get a price for a particular spare. I called around largely irrelevant garages specified, most of who simply did not stock the part at all. Filed all the questionnaires as required and got good scores for them as well.

    NOW, I've got this email from them yesterday, stating that they shall be unable to release payment for the jobs where I was unable to obtain a price. That is truly ridiculous, as most of the specified garages whose numbers were provided by Bare did not stock the part! Not my fault ...

    This is my last lot with Bare - a bunch of unreasonable idiots. All other fellow MSers, BEWARE!

    I was prepared for the little money, but this is NO MONEY for all work :confused:

    Well, I'm not surprised. I went a on a flight with them once, and landed up paying a significant amount in taxes at the airport. Supposedly, the said taxes were not included on the issues ticket by the client :confused:

    Tried my best but was simply unable to get the said amount back from BARE :mad:
