I've just called RE and the office is closed :mad: I accepted two cookies job last night after the deadline but can possibly do them today, guess I better wait till I get a response to my email.
I was going to call myself, I don't think I'll bother since the rest of you aren't having much luck. Will wait for reply to my email...Dan

Hi, need some help if poss.....just done a cookies job for RE but forgot to look for the branded takeaway boxes!! has anyone who has done these know where they are usually kept? counter? back area?
thanks guys0 -
THey are usually on the counter or behind the staff member. Make sure you specifically say whether the display is 'eye catching' or not, as I have had proof reading queries and phone calls over this on 2 jobs. Not sure how they can make a small display of cardboard boxes eye catching really but on the last one I said they were as it was the only way to avoid the dreaded query.pinkprincess39 wrote: »Hi, need some help if poss.....just done a cookies job for RE but forgot to look for the branded takeaway boxes!! has anyone who has done these know where they are usually kept? counter? back area?

Mmmmmm, they couldn't have been that eye-catching if they didn't catch our princess' eye!!:happylove
I'm always a bit careful if this happens as you never know, it might be the one day they ran out of boxes.....0 -
True maybe just best to say that you didn't notice any boxes, so there was not an eye catching display.bankypanky wrote: »Mmmmmm, they couldn't have been that eye-catching if they didn't catch our princess' eye!!:happylove

Oh dear, I have a crisis!
It's not that serious really - I had a phone shop to do with GAP yersterday that I couldn't do because my train home was cancelled. I tried all day to reschedule it to either today or tomorrow, with no luck. I was going to do it today, but then I realised that it wouldn't be in the agreed time period, so could be invalid anyway. Is there any merit in doing it today and entering the results or shall I just count it as lost and hope they don't penalise me?Slowly working towards earning enough money (through various ventures) to live unworriedly, treat my family and sleep under a lovely roof. x0 -
well i rung the main number and got through, as I signed up to 2, I rung twice. The secind person I spoke to was very nice and extended all of them by a week. So maybe worth a call!I was going to call myself, I don't think I'll bother since the rest of you aren't having much luck. Will wait for reply to my email...First ever win: Samsung Genio Touch Mobile Phone!!0 -
:rotfl:You need Roboform;) (it's a program that saves your details so you can log-in with just one click). I couldn't manage without it.
Double edged sword though
I have roboform and am really glad I do
However if anything were to happen to my laptop I wouldn't be able to get into anything :rotfl: (note to self back up to usb) keep meaning to but forget
Its a bit like sat nav once you have it you dont look at maps so dont always have a clear idea where places are in relation to the part of the country,so if your battery dies your b*ggered
With roboform you get cocky & make up really hard passwords no one will hack,but if you dont back up your as lost as the hacker :rotfl:"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.0 -
help needed please! I have just done first TNS job. Ive got everything done but now on expenses claim form. The meal cost slightly under the budgeted value so on this screen do I put the actual amount I spent or the budget. In otherwords are they like RE and only reimburse actual spend or do they reimburse the allocated amount?
Thanks
