The Mystery Shopping thread - IX

Mumto2

Now sat on my hands trying not to take any supermarket jobs!!!

I'm convincing myself to give this round a miss (not that easy in school holidays with 3 helpers!). Then when it's the next round I'll have more chance of getting a 'circuit' rather than odd jobs here and there.

Must not look, must not look....

Edit - just realised the next round will probably be in the school holidays as well - 7 weeks without MS'ing :eek:. Unfortunately my 2 eldest are just as the age where they would ask questions! Like 'Mum, but we've just been in a shop exactly the same as this one' :rotfl:

F'line money is in my account. Could someone remind me how much the fee for pizza collection jobs are... I'm having trouble working out how many of these I've been paid for!!!

Anyone else having a problem with the Bare quiz for Computer shops (not the fruity one) ? Seems to me question 1 is wrong or maybe I'm missing something but to me it looks like Monday to Saturday-UK.

Talk about feast or famine with Bare-for months I've had nothing now it has suddenly got very busy with them.

The ones I have got today say you are to go on your own - I think I read that right - so no MS'ing for you on the holidays! :rotfl:

It is mon to sat but you have to put Switzerland down for fri and sat. and the rest for none. Hope that makes sense. This drove me bonkers:mad:

I wonder if they've changed that recently, I checked with my AM a few months back and she said it was fine to take younger children.
That means I'll never get any of them done as youngest is 18 mths.

I guess they don't want us distracted? Not that we would be, but I'm sure that is their reasoning

Oh no, I've just grabbed a couple of these supermarket jobs and hadn't realised they are in the school hols! I'll probably have to release them.

I'm a bit disappointed actually as I notice this round of supermarkets suddenly and mysteriously have no mileage attached. :mad: I'm not so sure it's worth doing the jobs now, even if they weren't in the school hols. I do like these jobs because they are quite simple and straight-forward but really only worth it if you are passing anyway or if you can get 2 or 3 in the same area. I'm locked out of the majority of my local ones because I have done them in the last 3 months, so only a couple available to me anyway.

Is it just me, or is MSing getting tougher (money-wise?)

Is is harder to get recompense for things like travel isn't it? I will be near enough to the 2 supermarket jobs I picked up for it not to matter, plus it is always good to get some free shopping! But for the Little Spanish job I have to order a drink I don't want, and no mileage - mind you it is RE!

OK so basically you have to fill in all three boxes......I see-I think :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
