Heya, can someone help me? I was on as a reserve for a red shop (discount clothes/house stuff etc) and its just come up (Aba-I) for me to take as the other person didnt do it. The details for it are for today and it says it MUST be done today but the shop is now closed and the email telling me it was free to take just came in at 6:58. Think its fine to take and do tomorrow?

(edit) I just looked in teh notes and it HAS to be done on a Saturday only, so im guessing next week? Sent an email to them asking but obv wont hear til Monday

Oh my god!!

How on earth to you describe your ENTIRE visit in less than 830 characters??
I just did a brief summary & got it to 2414!

I just completed a report for Grassroots - 1st one for a couple of months. I'd forgotten how user friendly they are - they're almost a pleasure to do!
(just a shame they don't seem to have that many jobs in my part of the country!)

OMG tell me about it! I had a shop where I was required to go back and return an item too....impossible to fit all the details with 830. I figured they can call me if they need any further information! :rolleyes:

I did 4 jobs today, including my first car park which was...errrm...different! Lurking round a small car park in the middle of town trying to take some half decent photos whilst also desperately trying my best not to look too dodgy! :rotfl:

Does anyone know if RE bump up fees if the job hasn't been done by the deadline date?? I noticed that a particular scummy pub round the corner from me is still waiting to be picked up and the last date is tomorrow, I might risk going there if the money was a bit better!

I've not seen it before, and I've seen a pharmacy job sit there for 6 weeks after the original date. All they kept doing was changing the due by date. You may be lucky tho... :rolleyes:

Hi GemzyKate,

I sent RE an email regarding fees and received a reply to say that if I felt the fee was not enough to cover the assignment, then I should email them and they would see what they could do. Worth a try contacting them but doubt you'll get a reply until Monday now.

Is it easy to find the details of what matches are playing and when in the shop? The horses scenario was ok but Im concerned that I;ll stand out if I look lost!!
Can it be a foreign match? I think gyp want a match played that day or the next and I can only find details online of foreign matches
ta !

Have a look on the betting shop website before you go. I normally do that with horses too, and have back up horses in case the one I've picked is a non-runner by the time I get to the shop!

I picked up a job that had been feeless for a while and e-mailed out to people, it later came back with a fair fee and decent reimbursement.
