Would I be right in guesing a stamp job?

Ensure you have checked the boxes, one is not very obvious and I kept adding more and more comment until I sussed it out. It's one of those you have to give a mark out of ten for.

sorry not right guess again !!!

Nope its for 2 pharmacy jobs and a coffee shop.
The pharmcay ones asking for waiting times and the coffee shop is asking for marks out of 10.
I've filled in the comments box but it just aint having it.
I'll have to see if RE ring me tomorrow.

Quick question on Gap Bookies, on rules for the competitors it says no more than 2 per day but after getting 6 approved it is rejecting any other requests. Is it just me or is 6 the max?

Nor can I. Is it swords'r'us

Or "Do you have a neighbour with an ASBO...we can help

I know it is a cheapie lawyer with gangland connections.

I would love to know as my husband is breaking his marriage vows. Remember the word obey in the vows.

I was a rubbish bride. I shook so much all the petals fell off my flowers, then the minister grabbed the hymn thingy off me as I kept dropping it. To crown it all instead of saying my lawful husband my gob came out with my AWFUL husband. The new hubbie forgot to bring money for the scramble and had to borrow off my dad. His crack was "Jeez just married and borrowing money off me already."

Mind you we are still married after 37 years. Why can't they make it like a TV licence where you renew annually. Think he only has stayed cos cooking is my hobby. I have won a few cooking competitions but not had the nerve to enter Masterchef. Don't think even the BBC has enough bleeping machines.

Apologies for my bad habit of straying off topic AGAIN. Do forgive me.

After racking my now very tired brain I have fathomed out what a sword shop is :jand think its a very tough clue because it is in fact a razor blade !!
can we not stick to cheap homeware store instead?

Anyone want to guess how long its going to take G*P to sack me.

I have just had a query about...wait for it.....a burger job! On...guess what..wait for it....yes timings! I timed it to the second as I always do. However I knew this would happen as they took a long time to serve me. It almost makes me want to make up the timings to suit, knowing then there would be no query! Whats the point in these jobs? The only thing I can think is if the company concerned ever gets complaints they can say, well 99.9% of our mystery shops always come out with glowing reports, so there cannot be a problem:rotfl:

Oh well i'm fed up of burgers anyway, however on a busy day of MSing they come in useful for lunch:rotfl:

Hope everyones having a better day than me.

Count that as a great escape. Due to my mum having Alzheiners disease I ahve had to give up nursing but when I worked in the Out of Ours GP service we had a system where difficult patients were put through to me. I answered this bloke professionally by saying "Sister **** can I help you. He replied I have terrible diarrhoea and vomiting. I asked him to come to the centre whereupon he said he couldn't as he was the manager of a well known burger chain ( not the big mac one)

Needless to say none of us ever got a takeaway since. He actually expected me to send a doctor out to treat him. Yugghhhhh.

Thanks for the info HP, was just curious as one store said if it was not an own brand product then I would need a receipt.

I remember you telling that story about the Tesco wine before - I still can't believe the cheeky madam got away with that (or that she had the nerve to try it in the first place!)

Sorry to hear you've had swine flu - hope you are on the mend now.

Hi SC I can now beat that. Adjacent to me was an empty checkout. Some sod had eaten their pack of |Asda sannies and left the crusts and packaging. Being a posh area naturally it was the prawn ones.:rotfl:

Check the loos??? You must be having a laugh.

Most betting shops around my area never see women inside. However due to some quaint laws, they have to provide a ladies toilet and smoking is no longer officially allowed.

Therefore the room labelled "Ladies" is in fact used as the gentlemens smoking room. Thus giving two laws a body swerve at the same time.

I can just imagine the panic if a woman tried to enter.

I worked for 2 of the big bookies for over 15 years and whenever we had a lady come in on her own (that we had never seen before) we knew that she was a mystery shopper, so we used to get the key to ladies out and ready, as normally it was hiding in the dark depths of the till drawer since the last wave.

Hi. I've been MSing for a couple of moths now, but something still makes me wonder. I've only done 10 or so jobs, but using the spreadsheet for accounts, I am coming across as making a loss. This doesn't bother me because I like doing it, and petrol doesn't cost 40p per mile ;-)

I'm just wandering if many other people come acorss on paper as a loss? The reason I'm asking, is becuase a few jobs I would like, are about 20 miles away, and so would cost £16 in fuel there and back, on paper. I wouldn't be getting that much for the job. Like I say, I would like the job because I would get £15 worth of goodies. And it doesn;t bother me if I'm at loss. I'm just curious as to what happens at the end of the year if I'm on a loss on paper?

I guess the tax people would be confused! But as it's a hobby... hobbies are expensive!!
