    Weird isn't it ?
    Shame because I would have chosen a high value meal over the torso one
    Lesson learn't snag the best reimbursement one first DOH
    It seems that they have now realised they have far too many shoppers making their website crash all the time. Their answer? Limit us to one job and then we can't see anything but the old rubbish they can't shift:mad:

    I would have much rather had a high value restaurant as well. I'm tempted to cancel the torso one but there's no guarantee that the others would reappear:confused:

    the italian restaurants came back slowly and I managed to get one.

    ive only been able to see the same 2 mingy jobs all day and Ive been refreshing all the time.
  • Thanks for all that - really helpful.
    We take these as we treat it as our social life as well as improving service
    We have had some superb meals that we wouldnt have afford otherwise

    Ah yes, didn't think about that! Very good idea - I should invite a friend over when for the pizza night!

    The only ones I have so far are pizza and burgers - was initially not going to take them as I worried about the calories, but then I figured I don't have to eat the whole thing! You just have to take a bite or 2 to evaluate the taste, which shouldn't hurt too much. It'll also be an excuse to go the gym more often!

    By the way - what is a "torso" job?
    Slowly working towards earning enough money (through various ventures) to live unworriedly, treat my family and sleep under a lovely roof. x

    Hi to all. Have just been sent the spreadhseet by Jo (huge thanks to Jo). Just wandering about mileage. Do you put the mileage to get to the job, or to get to the job and back?

    Thanks!

    Oo I got a nightclub at last! I go to one of the client's clubs fairly often, so I was always annoyed at missing out on these! :)

    Missed out on the others though, including the station jobs... :(

  • Am so glad I found this thread today! Been doing MS-ing for a few years now but nothing recently. After reading this and the alerts thread, I've now got what i presume is the torso job, the music one and there were 3 others incl the italian one, but can't do that as i'm away :(
    thanks for all the help and advice! xx
    :heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance? :heart:

    I was lucky that I did this! Picked up a nightclub and then when I went to get a retail I was told I couldn't as I was probationary. I'm still happy though as the nightclub has a good return.
