Hi there! I just posted on yours .... aren't mental blocks weird? I love this washbasin, by the way - for the toilet itself, we went for the cheap version, but this washbasin is designed to the umpteenth degree, beautiful little pebble thing instead of a plug, bottle trap not a U bend, beautiful tap that I really like - maybe its *because* its so nice, oops.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Hi KC, sounds like a very productive day!
I tried to register for MS, but got knocked back by 2 companies
:o:o I was very insulted as I consider myself as a professional shopper!
Think I was too blaze with the "interview" task, but just as well as I don't know how I'd fit it in - plus I'm a veggie too.
Good luck with the 0% card, I'm sure you'll find one

Hi macgirl :hello:
All the m/s people are incredibly precise - pretty anal about things, tbh - they're forever giving dire warnings about the number of people who don't get paid because they forget something. But I have to say, a lot of the assignment notes are *incredibly* badly written - they give the opposite instructions in sequential sentences pretty often _pale_ I just checked on one today - in one place, buy food and drink; in another place, just buy food or drink. Ridiculous.
Being veggie hasn't stopped me, tho if I'm doing a coffee shop, it limits the sandwiches I can buy :rotfl: I'm doing two tomorrow, so I'll stick the sarnies in the freezer, have one on Friday when I go to London. Every little helps

Maybe it is just that where I live they dont have much on offer for MS. To be honest there arent very many big chains around here and so it does limit me a bit. I did sign up for a market research company which is great and keeps offering me the chance to go to seminars and pay really big money. The only trouble is I would have to travel to Birmingham and by the time I pay the expenses to get there, lose holidays in work it just wouldnt be worthwhile. I used to do a fair bit before I moved to Wales as a woman in the street stopped me one and before I knew it I was on her list and forever market testing some product or other, which was great because I used to get free makeup, cereals, vouchers, petfood. Loved doing that.Some days there aren't any trumpets, just lots of dragons. Courage doesn't always roar.

I had one for a well known electrical store were part of the brief was that you had to be greeted within a certain amount of time from entering the shop, problem was if there was no one there you couldn't exactly just hang around trying to be discreet with the stopwatch on your mobile.Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

Was thinking of taking up MS but sounds complicated so won't bother.
At least tomorrow your insulation etc will be out of the way0 -

Most of the ones I have are like that - two minutes, four minutes, ten minutes, whatever - I know it sounds mad, but I just keep an eye on the wall clock. I know the entry and exit times exactly, and I just build it up from there.
Taxi, it is complex, much more so than they make it sound, but once you get a rhythm (sp?) going its okay. And now I'm in HH, its much more profitable per hour - less of them, I think, but much more profitable. Hurray to that!
Got builders this morning, in the office, so won't be online, sob .... hope everyone has a good day.
