How do you manage to get that many jobs in a week? I'm so jealous!

its luck. i have 7 this thursday - was 8. i booked one a while out and then if i saw any in the same town i took them all for that day only. means i will make a profit on all of them for once!

Are we allowed to talk about what areas we're from?

This week: (actually it's 15, I can't count!!)
TNS 3 x quick supermarkets
GFK - 2 x banks, 4 x phone calls
Amber Arch - 2 x beauty shops
GR - bank & electrical store
RE - electrical store
Gap - 1 x coffee

Next week:
RE - 3 x phone calls and a car park (sounds like a Richard Curtis movie doesnt it!!)
ABAi - 3 stores
TNS - 2 x main supermarkets
Gap - 2 x coffee
Business Blueprint - nice restaurant at the O2

Got 5 the next week, then nothing else booked, but as the kids are on holiday I do tend to scale down a bit.

this is really interesting as I love data but how do you have three for ABAi for next week when they have to be done within 2-3days?

I am similar to you - did have 21 for this week but just had some changed
And Ive got 11 for next week.
For anyone interested most are with TNS supermarkets and im new so they may not be worth the wait! Plus I think will mean I cant do locations next month so I guess August will be quieter for me.
Others are Tern also a new company for me, GAP who previously to this I have only done 2 jobs for (btw who can tell me when GAP pay as I have not received any money from them???), GR, GFK and RE.

Can't wait for TG's kids to be on holiday in that case !! She beats me hands down for fastest finger first in this area LOL
I'm hoping for some last moment jobs in London tomorrow as DS is up there for a University taster day-so far just a very posh store. Think I'll lug the lappie with me so I can check as I go.

From Friday 24th to 31st July, everything in this area is yours!! :rotfl::rotfl:

I also have 15 jobs this week - mostly through GAP (a mix of burgers, sandwiches and phones), although a couple (bank jobs) with GFK

Ive only done 2 phone visits for GAP last month and got some more this month but I am still not getting anything else with them Cant see burgers as I am veggie and pizza jobs have been banned from me it seems, but also cant see whatever the sandwiches are either?

Because they aren't the usual run-of-the-mill ABAi jobs ..... ;)

Some people do -others prefer not to. There's no "rule"

TG and some others have been really helpful to me for "in area" questions-like blonde moments when I forgot to note a left and right. We more "crossover" rather than directly compete. I've only come across one MSer who actually lives IN my town.
We should all get together for a coffee at Bluewater sometime


I was wondering about the Aba-i jobs too. Nice.

That would be great! I can cover Bluewater occasionally but its further north than I am :rotfl:(ie for anyone else I am in different section of Kent!)
