Just got turned down for a job as Im too old for it! Huh - what a cheek! Still, who cares, I have several booked until 28th and then sadly I will have to leave you all to go lie on the beach for a fortnight in Egypt - its a hard life! OMG I cant wait!!!!!

I got back from Egypt a couple of weeks ago, it was lovely! Takes a while to catch up on the jobs again though.

From the rest of your reply I'm hoping you meant 'can't' ? If so, cheers - that's the answer I'd hoped for! :rotfl: The taxi bit is covered by my expenses from Bare so I dont need to worry about that. I will be away a bit longer that the two night minimum but I'm only going to claim for the first two nights as I'm sure HMRC will think I'm taking the p if I claim for the lot!

Thanks

Yes, my school of thought is, tell HMRC a little of what they might wann know and they're less likely to ask questions.

Don't take the p**s and you're more likely to get away with "questionable" activity. Not that this is questionable in the slightest, but you get my drift.

I didn't see any more sandwiches in my area. Typical, I could do with a lunch!

On a slightly different subject, blondecaz i'm amazed. How did you get thanked over 10,000 times in less than 400 posts???

I think Lil_Me was being sarcastic at the normal GAP fee bit = £0.00 and then did say she'd pay £2 towards fuel she'd be buying anyway.

Aah, I didn't think, you're probably right!

Sorry, should have said they only have 2 now and used to have 3 - the one that went to Aba-i. Don't we wish they could nab some more clients, eh?

Yeah, if only! The one and only gripe I have with ABAi is the fact that you can't search for jobs for all their clients at the same time, and even that's not a biggie! Other than that I think they're brill (other tahn taking aaaages to pay for the last [early July] wave of red-shop jobs).

Staff are relaxed about deadlines etc, very very flexible on when and how jobs are done, they're fab.

Competitions I expect, mine thanks went up greatly too after I started posting competitions. People thank to mark that they've entered it.

What can I say... I'm super-helpful

Nah... it's from posting competitions on the comps board (Another way to fill up my time in between job-hunting!)
