I haven't put this on the Alerts as it's just for specific areas:

I've just had an email from rqa-europe about Mystery Visits to places where you can adopt animals -you have to assess the place etc & it's a good fee. They want a variety of people to visit and check them out - the report afterwards is supposed to take 20 minutes or so.

You can adopt the animal if you want to but don't have to!!

I'm pleased none of them are near me. I'd probably want to take all the dogs home with me

Obviously not, I looked at my brief and was 100% clear in my mind that I could post a letter that came to £1 recorded and still reclaim the full payment for the job.

The big give away is the "Either Or" statement.

Yes I completely understand what you are saying but because the 1st page said MUST in big red letters and then the 2nd page said either/ or I was a bit confused, as are lots of MSers if what I read on here is correct.
Anyway nuff said on this its now been sorted so i;ll know for next time. And Im more than happy to have stamps as it means all my postage is Free for ages!:T

Just had a really nice email from Bare, as they haven't got any open shops, they've just sent a thank you email to all their shoppers, which seemed pleasant. I know it's just a blanket email, but at least they're making an effort to send a happy email.

I'd be the same - my husband has just said "Thank God there are none in Glasgow!

Loads of PM's so lots of other animal lovers out there.

It would be the dogs for me too - my husband used to work away from home during the week and he'd come home and I would have "adopted" another one!

Four were the limit though!

We've just got the one now and she'd love a little friend......................:D!

I did a popular pub chain and was specifically requested in the briefing notes not to ask for a receipt so I didn't get one - does this now mean that I can't offset the money I spent on required purchases for the job for tax purposes, as I don't have proof of my purchase?

Bumping my post in case there's any tax people on the forum this evening!:cool:

I'm not going to wade in to the arguement on the GAP briefs but I read the notes as quite ambiguous too. But went on the logic that if they dont pay me for it I've not actually lost anything as I was a- passing and b-needed to use their services anyway.

But come to write up the report with the POP what do we put in the code box as they dont have central letter stamps anymore (or am I being thick)?

Hiya!
Does anyone know what criteria you have to fill to be able to see hotels on RE?
Neither me or my Dad can ever see them

Have you ticked the box where it asks which assignments you are interested in? Also I think with some a business email address is needed to qualify.

sophie131

Yes, we have both ticked the boxes and my dad has all the business things down (he owns his own business). I don't know whether it's worth emailing to find out as i'd love to do one, as would my Dad!

I wish one of them were near me but they are in:

Worcester, Herts, Sussex, N.Yorkshire, Oxon, Cambs & Devon if anyone is interested.

The email does say if you know anyone who is interested etc let them know so thought it would be OK to post on here! I've been registered with rqa for ages but not done any work for them - if you're interested PM me & I can give you the details of who to contact.

Was just about to post this also.... you bet me too it .... glad i had read back on this!!
Have you not done any work with them?? :rolleyes:
