Just a word of warning the £30 reimbursement will no where cover the cost of 2x course meals and 2x drinks + service charge. (double it!!!). But good food .

Our local is doing a 2 courses for £12 per person which helps , but yes even with that the reimbursement wont cover it..... nice grub though !

I am on the south coast and there was a few showing round here and Hampshire, obviosuly not my local one now...

I just came to see if it was just me, I've just closed all my applications thinking it was my laptop, was going to restart my machine. Those jobs that have been uploaded are such short notice !!

Yes, I've noticed this more and more recently with RE. I wonder if they're moving closer and closer to ABAI's model...

And what's the bets there will be no new jobs when it comes back on-line :rolleyes:

I walked past one of those places yesterday and could have done it if they had uploaded the jobs earlier. Of course I'm not going back now as it's 50 miles away and there's no fee to put towards the petrol costs.

Guaranteed:rolleyes: I've lost two jobs in the last week alone by their website crashing while I've been trying to accept them:mad:

Sometimes I don't mind the short notice (like abai) where I can squeeze in a job when I am doing something else for another company. It was the same with the hotels (on RE yesterday & today) - just to short notice for me. I like to print the questions, read over everything, make notes on my phone, plan what I'm going to buy. RE jobs are not exactly simple and if you are trying to stay in budget - you need to plan what you need to order. Maybe I am just to meticulous. I also like to plan a few jobs in a day.

RE's back again, still a few jobs knocking around in my area. Don't fancy any of them though... TBH if I was going to go out for a rare meal with DH the xxxx & xxxxx would not be on my list of favourites...

I got an email from RE the other day asking me if I was available for a job (amazingly NOT an Ebbsfleet one!) and I had to laugh when it gave their phone number and said not to call during 1pm and 2pm 'cos they would be at lunch!!!
