And I've just picked up another GR job - double check if you didn't pick up a job an hour or two ago as it looks like new jobs (still travel agents) have popped up too.

Now I have another booked in the same shopping centre, on the same day! Mystery Shopping Assignment Aligning - love it!

Me too I had one job booked in each of 3 different towns for next week, then suddenly more jobs popped up so now I have 2 or 3 jobs for each of the towns which is great. Saves onpetrol and parking costs.:T

I love it when that happens. I've got Lakeside and Bluewater near me and it's not uncommon for me to have 6 - 10 jobs on one day. Always nice if I can get a sandwich job or a coffee job while I'm out as well, lol!!

Will be looking in the Cornwall next month as we're going on our hollibobs!

on GAP my closest city doesn't seem to be on the list anymore, how bizzare is that? Do you think they're maybe not running in that area anymore? But it is a city centre, weird!

I've had this a few times.

I go on 1 minute, there's hundreds of towns, then you go back 10 mins later and there's only a few!

You just have to go back to the start and try again - it will come back at some point!

It will only come back when they add some more jobs in that town.

If your town isnt listed, there arent any jobs there - I usually check the following day.

Also, the towns in capitals have urgent/soon to expire jobs - according to Gap when I emailed them to ask them why some are in CAPS lol

I have that, when I search by location my town isn't there, but if i do a client search it is!

Quick question about Gap pizza jobs please. The last few months when I've done these, I've had the new style report, much easier to complete and only 2 timing points, and much more freedom on what you order.

I've got one of the latest batch and it's the old report again, loads of timing points, can't order what I want to and much longer report. Does anyone know what's going on? Are they just rotating these around the country or have they stopped doing the nice new ones?

The ones with the easier reports were a special project comparing against competitor places. They appeared on separate lines to the normal pizza jobs and were for certain regions only. I haven't seen any this month so maybe the project has finished. I hope not:(

The normal pizza reports haven't changed much at all as far as I know. They need to be changed as there is a new menu now.

Just a tip for the GAP Pizza jobs. If you're doing them to make as much money as possible, choose the main course salad. It works out cheaper because you don't have to order a side salad. I discovered this last night after doing a Pizza job 2 nights in a row and feeling fed up of pizza.

I thought somebody said a while back that their report was questioned and refused payment because they ordered the main salad bowl inside of the side salad? I could be wrong, but it's worth reading back a few pages and double checking!

I'm just filling out an RE clothing shop report and I'm exhausted! I can't believe there's no fee for this massive questionaire, just a £10 reimbursement. Sorry RE, I enjoyed the visit but never again!

Oh no, don't say that - I think I'm doing the same client on Sunday!! Looking forward to a new item of clothing though = ) Did you stick to the £10 reimbursement or go over? I think I may treat myself and go over!!!
