Are you sure? I couldn't see them on the Job Board before the email, and now I can. I think they just sent the email out because there's obviously a specific target shopper. I could be wrong as I've only just signed up with TERN, but I couldn't see the jobs before.

They may not be outstanding jobs then, I was just going on the pretty short deadline, and them only being in one area of the UK.

Grrr I can't access MCE on my work computer -I already missed out on a job I really wanted to do for them last week and looks like I'll miss out on a haircut too... gutted...

Don't suppose anyone wants to log in for me and see if the jobs still there?!!?

There were only 2 haircut jobs that I can see, one north london, one south and I missed out on the salad job I wanted to :rolleyes:

I never see any jobs on MCE. And it was the first one I signed up to - they obviously don't like me very much!

I signed up years ago so can't remember the process. Have you tried all variations of space/no space between area code and between last 6 numbers? Could also try mobile number?!

Yep, tried all that. Even thought they didn't recognise the 0207 of a London phone number, so I put in my cousin's 012... number in various different forms. And I resoted to tryin +44 in front and 0044. Still no luck. :mad: I gave up!

Am I doing something wrong on ESA? All I can see is 47 jobs for Ireland. Is there another way to search please?

Just looking how much the MS companies pay for their scheduling software

Even software as basic as Sassie costs an absolute fortune

Please tell me I'm not really a terrible person. I hate saying no when they ring up and ask me to do jobs. GR wanted an urgent job doing today and didn't want to increase the fee. They rang back a few mins later and offered to increase it by a very small amount. I was actually looking for double - after all, it's school hols so I would have 2 kids in tow, plus I wasn't planning on going out today, plus if I did go, I know for a fact I would end up spending about 4 times the fee (I always do in this particular shop)... so basically I would end up out of pocket. I try to only book visits to this shop when I need to go anyway.

I tried to explain this but still feel like I've let them down.

RE just rang me to ask me to do an urgent nightclub job (one I'd done before) - it's not on the website which I thought was odd - but I'm going out elsewhere at the weekend and could really do with staying in Friday night if I'm going out Saturday (I'm not much of a party animal - I like staying in watching DVDs!).

I felt a bit bad, but if you'd have wanted the assignment, you'd have selected it - the MS companies must understand this.
