    My daughter has started to work part time in a posh underwear shop since mid July. Last Thursday she came home and showed me a piece of A4 paper....guess what the heading is....."Mystery Shoppers Key Focus Points" :D. She was asked to remember everything on the list. Then on Saturday she went to help a customer in a fitting room, she saw a stop watch was on :rotfl::rotfl:

    TBH I would love to know which MS company does their shop!

    Those of you that can't see the department stores on ABA-i; this may be because you aren't of their desired demographics.

  • I can see over 100 posh sarnies on RE ... and not one in Lakeside or Bluewater. Haven't seen them for ages there. Has anyone else beaten me to them or are they just doing the London branches nowadays?

    I can see them at those locations...I'm not heading that way so they can be someone elses. I think they leave longer gaps between us revisiting these days.
    Happy snooping!

    Guys, please ensure that you're backing up your MSing spreadsheet, scanned receipts, and internet favourites regularly. I'm having technical problems atm and the main sticking point is not wanting to lose my MSing stuff. If I'd backed it up recently, I could wipe my hard drive and get windows reinstalled. As it stands I'm trying to recover my stuff before I can wipe it.

    Currently using windows installed on an old hard drive. The good thing is that as there's nothing on this drive, the pc boots up in seconds!!

    Such good advice!
    I had dreadful problems with my PC last year and thought I had lost everything and it was just before the tax mans deadline. I went into major panic but luckily for me I had a friend who was able to rescue everything off the hard drive for me.
    Since I have had my lovely speedy new one I make sure I have everything backed up and saved.

    So take heed of ukmonkey's excellent tip.:T
    Happy snooping!
  • Only just joined this thread and have really enjoyed reading through all your comments, I have been MSing for almost 2 years but only just seriously getting into it. I was previously only using 4 companies, but after joinging this thread and following all your tips and advice I have signed up for quite a few more. Thanks for all your advice and info, I hope I can now start to give a little back! If someone could PM me the AB shops I would really appreciate it ( if I can find how to get my PM's LOL!)

    Thanks again, I hope I have posted this right!!
