Morning All !

Thought I'd pop in before I go out. Got 3 travel agencies on today, hope they do better than the one yesterday.
Slight bonus hubby has said he wants to go away so I can now use the scenario for real and hopefully get them to find me a decent holiday which I can book online and try to get some cashback !!

I agree with you....free food etc is such a bonus. But it involves hard work, checking every site available, answering every alert as quickly as possible. Staring at the screen every evening waiting for the little number in the corner of RE`s page to change! Jumping up from the sofa every time there is an ad break...just in case you missed something.....cutting off phone calls from friends and family cos you just got a ding on the pc and it may be for your next meal! Coming home from work, sticking the kettle on and by the time it has boiled the pc is fired up and let the checking commence! Getting up that bit earlier in the morning to send in a report from the night before so as not to lose those precious points! :rotfl:Oh and I forgot the juggling involved in the diary to fit as many as possible in the same area on the same day! And FINALLY the weight gain.....................yep it can be worth it

That is so true:T

I think it should go on the first post so that newbies can see what life as a mystery shopper is really like:D

Can one of the betting experts help me please?

I've just checked my betting slips for the GAP assignments I did last week for them.

One of my horses was a non-runner. Does this mean I can get my money back? And if so is there a time limit to do this? And can I go to any of their shops or do I have to go back to the one where i put the bet on?

I have my final betting assignment tomorrow, fingers crossed for a win as I am skint!

You will get your money back, any shop should do and I think the time limit is 6 months. Hope it is as I've got a couple of winning slips to pick up but haven't been anywhere near a red bookies for a fornight.

Evening all,

Well tempers are getting 'fraid (just been reading back!)

My daughters got chicken pox so I've been a little slow off the mark and got nothing tonight.

Oh well!

Hope your daughter is better soon Matt .

I've got two supermarkets booked in with tNS, going to give them another go.

Good luck with them Mr Monkey, I quite enjoy doing these (well apart from my local HUGE and busy one....)

Is it bad that I've not got a clue how much I've made?!

Seriously, I spent weeks, if not months making a logging spreadsheet for us all to use if we wanted, and I've STILL not got around to using it formyself!

I've got all my receipts (he says, hoping!) but just not got around to logging them. Perhaps a job for the bank holiday weekend, methinks...

Good luck with getting your records in order !

I doubt they would have blinked an eyelid if I'd said that! When I googled the road name (didn't even have to put Bristol) the first hit is a link to this article - http://www.people.co.uk/news/news/tm_objectid=16254597%26method=full%26siteid=93463-name_page.html

Including such gems as

OMG , what an area.... very scary, I almost couldnt believe what I was reading :eek:

Had a quiet day today, but have just agreed to do 2 hour round trip for GFK. Nice hefty increase in fee too.
:beer:

Really lovely people at GFK, always been good on every occasion I have spoken to them.

I've had a busy August, but no work yet for September!

Ooh I'm gutted... just went to accept a job on RE for a drink at a pub (normal fee not the lowered one!) literally right opposite our house but someone beat me to it. I've never been so gutted about losing a job! Ha ha.
