Just to balance things up, 12 hours later, no doubt on more mature reflection, ISWLME did say

"I agree. I have been a bit of a stinker and rambled on a bit, not caring for the nicities of the atmosphere here. It was my first post and I was in a foul mood about this RE company's treatment of me. But I apologise to anyone who I offended, if they genuinely tried to help"

Yes, fair enough - only now caught up with the last few days posts and saw the apology, so welcome ISWMLE and glad you seem to have calmed down now and apologised. Thank you!

I know what you mean....I got an email from them about a pub meal just 5 mins from me in a lovely little Suffolk country pub, but although I went straight to RE there's no sign of it :rolleyes:.

Thats odd cos it was showing for me for several days and I did wonder why you hadnt taken it, its very weird that some jobs show for some and not others - why is that????????
PS - It wasnt me - lol

I'm a bit worried that I haven't received payment from ABA-i for a petrol job I did near the start of August but have received payment for two more recent smaller petrol jobs through them. Anyone else still waiting or shall I email them?

Got mine today for job on 9th Aug, I just hate the way the payments are made by them, I often wonder what will happen if it doesnt arrive.

Congratulations!!!

I started WW in Jan...gave up in April as it just wasn't working and I went on holiday to Florida. I only lost 5lb in the 4 months I was on it so I got really downhearted. I've put a couple of lb back on since then, but I keep saying that I should have another go.

Well I had a call from Gyp tonight asking me to do a burger job. It will be my first job for them and they have upped the fee a little without me having to ask

Thanks to whoever it was that replied to my query about the gfk telephone call and waiting 14 days - sorry, it has been so many pages since your answer, I have forgotten who it was

Another question for all you experienced MSers, which types of jobs are best when you have a baby in tow? I notice that the fast food, banks, government offices and phones seem to be solo only but the pub jobs seem to be accommodating with family members.

Well done for losing Annasbee. I always thought the rule was that you only put on weight if you pay for the meal yourself?

Thanks

ABAi will be sending the red shops early next week. There are three red shops, I'm talking about the one that is first alphabetically.

I guess that totally depends on the age of the baby and its temprement! You cant really MS with a lively 2 year old, far too distracting but a small baby I would think would be ok for most jobs. Its a case of "suck it and see" you will soon discover whats possible and whats not. Why dont you try edigital, great for quiet time at home and when there is nothing much about jobwise.
