    Thanks duchy, I did look, but I always delete my deleted folder at the end of each day. Thats a lesson learned! I must read over emails as I get them in future instead of skimming. I normally put a little red flag on any I need to look at in more detail, but its gone.

    It's casual, so it's as and when they need somebody, and if it happens to fit in with me at that time. I've got a two week assignment starting next week that will be FT nine to five, but after those two weeks could be anything, or might have a break! And when I go back to uni, they might be able to offer me something once or twice a week on a regular basis.

    I'm very pleased because my application for this has been ongoing since last May... *sigh*

    at least you finally heard back and its some extra money. Something for when you go back to uni would be great as well.

    Does anyone know if the pizza jobs on gap cover the full cost or do you end up spending over?

    I can only speak for eating in pizza as not done a take out one for ages - do they still MS those?

    Anyway, you can come in at £18.95 if you have a starter, share a pizza, two soft drinks and the salad bowl. HTH

    I saw others posting about their first ABAi fuel jobs a while ago (I had mine taken off of me in that wave). Anyhow did my first one yesterday in a bigger place was much easier than I expected and got some nice things for tea which is also a bonus so I was very pleased :T Have another local one to do as well with lower fee so hope they are ok as well :)

    my one query is I had to enter 3 things off of the receipt but not the actual receipt number is that normal?

    ok in RE notes to right hand side on main screen tell me there are 7 airport jobs (I have always seen these) but when I go to check jobs number decreases and these are not in the list is everyone else having the same problem?

    Just about the start on my reports as couldn't do them last night.

    Same... I did six on my way from Birmingham to London - 2 GAP sandwiches at the airport, 2 RE 'railway station' jobs in the airport (cookies and burger!), then 2 GAP mobile phone jobs in London! Only managed to write up 5 out of the six last night, so I've got less than you to do at least! :D

    I have a theoretical eight tomorrow- 4 cars (although one of them trying to find a salesman physically in the branch appears to be a bit of a holy grail -hence the theoretical) and three stations ( at same station and on a direct route home from the cars) and one at a station on the route home. That's pretty good use of a one day travelcard in my book. Awful lot of reports in one sitting though.
    Edit-make it nine I forgot I have a phonecall tomorrow too
    I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole
