Oooh, please may I ask some advice?
Got a pizza delivery job for Gap tomorrow but just seen the new discount delivery code on MoneySavingExpert... do you reckon I'd be able to use it or will that make my job void? Might make the reimbursement slightly more worth it!

As you know pet I am 59 but look like 39/49 delete as appilicable. I cannot get Harrods of Glasgow as I am too old with the company who drop money in cash

Should i

A) Say damn it

Tell a lie about my age ( not the 1st women to do that)

C) Sen them a pic showeing I ahve not got grey hair..actually blonde with low lights. Tempted to reapply using my dog's name. But hwe's only 7.

I thought all women lied about their age?!? Would love to be able to do those THINK 21 visits but perhaps I would be pushing it just a bit too far. There was a job going recently where you had to be over 43 and I explained to them that I was just two years short of it and they let me do it anyway. Little do they know that everyone thinks I'm actually 36 as I don't look my age either!

Hey all,

Since a lot of threads in the next couple of days are going to be about payments coming in, can I ask that we compile an accurate list of dates when they come in and then ammend the OP? I think some of the info is out of date.

What do people think? It think this will also stop the same questions being asked over and over again.

Thanks

The only time I ever tried to do that job, I got it wrong, didn't get paid and binned all the paperwork:mad: but I think it says on the brief that you're not allowed to use any vouchers/money off coupons... if in doubt, you can always email them? HTH

Does that kind of thing happen a lot? Theres a lovely job on GfK at the moment that I saw on Monday and it's reappeared today but you have to be either 18-21 or 25-55 and I'm smack in the middle! Do you think I'd be wasting my time sending them an e-mail about it?

13 jobs for Sat?? OMG what time are you starting?? Well done on getting all those jobs - I would find that amount a few too many for one day personally but maybe I'm a lightweight!!

My 1st is a petrol from 8am so that will get me going for the day.Next a shopping centre from 10am then onto a local corner shop in one town. In the same town I got 3 x travel agents,3 bookies. Then off to the next town which is about 6 miles away. I have then got 2 x travel agents, 1 bookies and finally after 5pm a chicken meal. then home to get square eyes on the pc getting the results back.

More urgent help needed!! Like immediately pleeeeaaasssseeeeeeeeeeee!! Just did a pizza order on phone, guy wanted me to have it delivered from another shop cos it was much nearer than the one I was calling. Managed to persuade him to let me have it from there (well I think so anyway!) ordered pizza and side and then he told me I had a free side to go with that for £1 cheaper. Was I wrong to say yes. Would any normal customer say no - I Dont think so - advice pse urgently............ love you all if you help me here in lightning quick time - Anna x x x

I've heard of instances where people have done this without a problem and just explained that it would have been too obvious to say no! So don't panic!

I'm assuming it's a Gap one? Just explain when you do the report that you were told about the offer, and thought it would sound suspicious if you refused - after all, who would turn down a discount? I did this last time I ordered pizza and have received payment this morning.
