Hi to all MS's

I am fairly new to this game :rolleyes: and have been signed up with several companies for a while now. I have been cruising this thread and was wondering how on earth you manage to get so many jobs assigned to you!! I am constantly logging onto the websites and searching for jobs in my area. Is there a technique to getting there first?? Obviously you might not want to tell me that but some tips would be appreciated guys :T

I am registered with all the companies listed in your threads...... So far this month only got £9 worth of jobs allocated. I never seem to get anything from BARE or Abai, why is that do you think??

any advice would be very much appreciated from you expert shoppers out there. Many many thanks to you all :T :T

Awww thank you so much for already putting my target in - I'm very impressed! Fingers crossed... I'm hoping this'll be my best month so far.

I added those that I saw from the previous thread or from signatures !

Probably a better place to post this would be in the general MS chat here : http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=22934563&posted=1#post22934563 more people will see your message , mainly it is a case of fastest finger first .... I had a good month in June as in my signature but have very very little booked for July , just havent been around when the jobs have been released sadly.
Bare - have you done the testing that you ahve to do before you get work assigned to you ? Have you applied for many jobs with them , they just take time to give you work , some people start getting work quickly and others never get anything. Abai have been fairly quiet lately but have uploaded some jobs this morning. HTH but as I say post on the other thread and more people will see your message.

Good luck to everyone for this months challenge and well done for the newbies joining us!

I have to agree that now I've seen what the fees are like on other companies, I'm going off the lower paid Gap and RE jobs. I think I'll still do them for a bit of a fee boost but I'm certainly not relying on them. Might just pick up a job if it coincides with others I have in the area.

I quite like some of RE retail jobs though - as it's things I would be buying anyway! And I like getting a little treat for myself!

I do RE and Gap as fill in jobs when I am going elsewhere , some of the RE phone calls as they pretty quick and usually take advantage of the nice meals when I can ! Havent yet done any work for TNS although I am registered with them.

hello all thank you for already adding me :beer:
Id like to aim for more than £300 really but after last months dismal affair Id rather stick a target I might get to achieve as positive thinking is the best

Hope everyone does really well this month. As its the school hols I have no idea if that should mean more or less work end of the month and in August? My son is older so at least that shouldnt impact on what I can do and if I see food jobs for two and partner is away (as he is now) means I have a tagger on to go with me if I bribe him somehow

if anyone sees work in dorset/somerset anywhere in that area end of the month first week of august please let me know. I normally see tons back home but its getting nearer and nearer to our hols and now I dont see anything much :eek: Was hoping to at least get a few meals out as that saves us some money and hassle of cooking at family's house as Im the cook so I end up cooking for everyone and its not much of a holiday then :rolleyes: if not we will be forced to use the chippy

This is for this post and the newbie (i dont know how to multiquote effectively yet)
I just use RE for meals out and treats. Got two with them tomorrow out of 9 jobs in with better paid work for other companies. So means my lunch is covered so less expense over all - they are useful for that. Plus I cant complain too much (as if!) as I did get a hotel visit in June which was a wonderful treat :T As for TNS hope they are ok as I have lots of supermarkets for this month. As for GAP I have only ever had two phone jobs and another three this month so I never see anything with them.

Bare can be really good - I did my first ever job with them back in April so carry on applying for things and at some point you will get something.

Newbie come and join us in the main thread and use the alert thread as its excellent and Ive got tons of jobs that way :beer:

Morning !

Like you I would rather stick to an acheivable target , I know I will be disappointed with myself if I set too high a target and then dont achieve it , so anything over what I want to earn is a bonus !

Hope you manage to get some jobs down here (am in Dorset) when you are back home , you definately dont want to be cooking too much , hope the weather is good for you too.
