    We have a rule on this thread that we don't discuss fees. However if you do just one job a week, it will take you a long time to get rich. For most jobs (especially GAP/RE) the fee is more of a "token" payment. I do an average of five jobs a week, and the money I make is still really only "pocket money".

    Apologies to all..didnt mean to break the rules.
    Thanks anyway, will give it a go and see how it is.

    I noticed this about a week ago. Yet another reason to not do these jobs :rolleyes:


    Too true, there is no way I'm accepting that.

    That's the only reason I am here.

    My carer goes home at 3 o' clock and sometimes she doesn't leave the TV remote. If I can't entertain myself with the telly I come here for entertainment. If I have brightened up your day there's a bonus.

    Good luck to you mate[/QUOTE

    I'm sure you and HP are married!!!

    Mind you, I have met her hubby and he seemed very quiet compared to her!!:D

    He is but maybe it is because I never shut my gob long enough for him to open his. We once went on a car journey and miles into it while I was in mid rant he just quietly said " You are wearing my ears out"

    Do any shops sell spare ears for him.:rotfl:

    Had to release all my jobs for the next week
    I'm in isolation with swine flu :confused:

    Hope whoever gets them enjoys them I had 5 nice meals lined up
    "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:


    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    Hi, I have this morning done my very first mystery shop!!!! I was wondering which are the best companies to sign up with especially for meals out etc. Does anyone ever get hotels?

    Bit of a newbie to this so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks :confused:

    They probably had to get it out of the way before all their staff left.
    Happy New Year :beer:
