Me too! I'm starting to wonder why I bother posting on here

I'm really glad you post on here Becles as you've been able to help me a few times now!

Forgot that I'm with Abai but they never seem to have anything. I hope they go by postcode as there wasn't any normal town entry for Bristol, so had to put Bristol Gloucestershire!

I did try Gfk but they're not accepting in my area as yet.

Thanks everyone for all the advice - buying you all a cyber :beer:;)

When you search you search by postcode so you'll be fine. Remember that you can search by "other" and use a * to show everything in the country.

Just don't take all the Bristol jobs

Does anyone else find it annoying that ABA-i only give you x amount of days to complete an assignment rather than a specified date? I wouldn't mind, but the jobs always seem to be uploaded at the beginning of the week meaning that you can't usually do them at weekends!

Is there anyway to get around this?

Yep!! Email them and ask if the date can be extended to such-and-such-a-date - they are usually very happy to do this for you.

I dont mind doing RE jobs, although the pays not great compared to others i'm enjoying them for the general experience being a newbie.

I don't mind doing the restaurant jobs for RE, especially if I was going to be going out anyway. Also like their phone calls, especially the hotel ones as they are very easy for the money. Some of their retail stores are OK as well, again if you're going there anyway - such as the torso shop or the kitchen one.

Ah hah, could I have found another Bristol resident here? I'm north Bristol and won't travel far so I'll leave you a few if you like

I don't mind doing RE jobs if it's not out of my way, and I factor the personal value of the item needing to be purchased too. Like for a restaurant, it's not just £x towards a meal, it's also a saving of £x that I don't have to spend on ingredients and time off cooking and washing up. Or for the torso shop it's the difference in price between luxury toiletries and the supermarket ones I normally buy, plus the pleasure I get from using a nicer brand.

I'm a quick and accurate typist so I can rattle off reports fairly quickly. I appreciate if you're slow at typing, it must be a nightmare though.

Thanks for the toy shop alert, me and OH got one each.

(sorry to be greedy, don't pop up to City much, this will definitely make it worthwhile).
