Still loads in my area, just my housemate refuses to go to that chain. Probably limited to one per person.

I'd like a departures airside food job but all the ones I can see are arrivals or the wrong terminal - grrr!

Just been sitting here bored and worked out a few figures. Taking into account the amount of jobs Ive done this month, the travelling, the time doing them, the time searching for them doing questionaires, filing, etc etc etc, the one I had to do twice cos I went to the wrong shop (and wouldnt even have realised it if I didnt leave and then walk right past the correct shop to my horror!) - seems Im earning about 2p an hour. And now Ive just run out of ink so cant print any paperwork and will have to buy a new cartridge £24.99 - oh what a total joy this job is, but - on the positive side, I have "met" all of you so its not all bad !

Hi,

I am not sure if I am going to be shot down in flames for asking a queston that is answered somewhere else, I have searched but this thead is SOOOOOOOO big!!!!

Ok so I have been mystery shopping for a wee while and have not registered for tax I have been earning around £20 a month. Now I have been offered a job that will earn me £50 a week for a possible 6 months or more, I will register as self employed now. My worry is what should I do about benefits? I recieve incapacity benefit which will not be affected due to the amount of hours I will be working, however my housing benefit would be. Should I tell them and they can recalculate for the 6 months then go back when the job ends? Any other advice, anything I have missed? Sorry I am a bit of a newbie!!!

Getting really annoyed now - there's about 6 RE jobs I could have done and for 2 of them I could have gone out for a nice meal with my husband :mad:. Come on RE, clear my job so I can do something else!

The good news is I've passed the accreditation test for 1 company with GAP, bad news is it's too far away from me but I'll keep checking!

Oh no, poor you! Our son will be 3 in December and is a real handful - always into something. His favourite game at the moment is to draw all over everything (including himself, the furniture, walls and he almost got the dog) with a pen. Oh yes, and sprayed all over the inside of the car with sunscreen. I could go on ........

Still love him to bits though (and of course his big sister!)

Hope your little boy is OK after all his excitement

Send them an email and ask them to clear you - I did this after waiting about 6 weeks, they made me "Active" within the hour of sending the mail.
