Wish me luck I'm off to Bluewater tomorrow. It's going to be so busy and I'm gonna get so stressed but I've got 4 pretty good jobs over there plus a Gap breakfast on the way.

If that's not enough I'm then off to Lakeside on Thursday as I've got 5 jobs planned over there including a nice lunch. I love it when I can get several jobs in one area on the same day

Have a good time in Bluewater - I had planned to go this weekend but still only one job on right date so cant justify it from here so Maidstone instead for me, then Bluewater following weekend for a movie - fingers crossed by then I can get some other work also booked and a lunch would be nice.

As for Lakeside Ive only been once and did not like it there at all so I am not planning on going back anytime soon. Ive booked us 2 cheap hotel deals in January (£1 a night :j) and now realised that we are very near Lakeside so I will have to try and get some jobs now especially if it covers our meals even if I cant stand the place as I now dont like paying for anything when I could be working

as with message above I am just releasing a retail with RE for Bluewater this weekend so hope someone else in here gets it!

When did you last go to Lakeside? They did it up a couple of years ago and it is really nice now. In fact for "normal" shopping I prefer it to Bluewater. They've got a lovely area down by the lake with cafes and restaurants although this is probably nicer on a nice warm summers day!!!

we went for first time in summer and i was doing work after doing some at bluewater. i think we just had a bad day as everything was packed and we couldnt find our way around - i was also trying to find an outfit for a wedding which was a disaster. we saw the lovely outside area but the meals i had booked to cover werent in that bit. i think if we went to eat without me working we would have had a really nice relaxing time. i am not keen on bluewater either to be honest as i prefer outside shopping areas really as i get claustrophobic at times if i cant see out. saying that when its pouring down like it is here inside can be a bonus! ive rearranged my job for today as weather here is dire was going to treat teen son to a trip into town to look round shops for xmas but instead i am going to have to force him in a few minutes to help me get the shopping. i have a bribe i can use as we have terminator salvation to watch as our movie night tonight so ill say he can choose treats to eat whilst watching it he helps.... my bribes dont usually work though :rolleyes:

As anyone ever completed a gapburger assignment without being asked to comment on service times that were faster or slower that expected? I always have to fill this bit out - is the 'expected' window only 3 seconds long?

It is done deliberately to prevent you just making up a time later. By saying faster OR slower, it's making you stop and think about the service you received, and why you would think it 'should' be faster or slower than the time you put in.

Hi Max,

Glad to see you found the thread!

All, in case you're wondering, Helion has been founded by a former employee of a worldwide MSing company (with it's EU office in Belgium), that many of us have worked for in the past.

Take a look at their site, and maybe signup. I know Max is very keen for feedback on the site and on the signup process.

(and no, I don't work for him, I'm just keen for his new venture to work out for him!).
