I grabbed some supermarkets on TNS - (thanks to the person who posted the alert) but they're for September. I think August will have to be my summer holidays from MS as there is hardly any work.

Now - how do I claim my holiday pay from RE? :rotfl:

I've just done a MS which really really feels like its 2 hours of my life I'll never get back!!!

I think I need to start being more picky with the visits I do rather than being a MS wh^re!!!!

Me 2, need to be getting more picky!!!

I've got a tax/expenses question that hopefully someone will be able to answer.

I have a flight MS job to do and I want to know what I am allowed to claim as expenses and offset against my tax. The current flight jobs on Bare require you to stay at least two nights at the destination. Therefore, can I claim the hotel costs against my tax? I've not had to think about this for previous flights on this airline because I've stayed with friends.

I think I asked a similar question a couple of years ago but that was for a different airline and on those jobs you could technically come back on the same day so it wouldn't have been possible to claim, whereas on the current flights they insist that you stay two nights.

Hope that all makes sense! Cheers all.

I am having a rubbish day, I lost £25 match betting as I could not lay a horse in time _pale_

On the plus side I managed to get a couple of supermarkets on TNS and a job on GR so at least that will go some way to make up the money.

On the plus side, I had a bank job which was very quick and easy.

On the negative, I spent £95 at the dentist and £30 on a manicure and pedicure. Now need a few more MS jobs to make up for that!

I see no reason why you can't claim them as a loss. All reasonable expenses that you'd not normally incur, Hotel costs (try and get Bed breakfast and evening meal). taxis to/from airport (car hire questionable, guess it depends on the destination!)

Grabbed a few supermarkets too but left a few for the other Suffolk ms shoppers here! All quiet here until Saturday when I have got about 5 assignments lined up.
