    GR also now I come to think of it. I only ever see a big computer store or banks. Frustrating. :(

    I only ever see very few jobs for this company (about 3 in two months) that always get snapped up before I can apply - there seems to be quite a small radius of how far they think I am willing to travel. Never seen a computer store but sometimes (vary rarely) the odd supermarket or bank.

    This is odd, you should still be able to see the sandwiches, other types of pubs etc. Have you checked to make sure you still have all the boxes ticked for each type of jobs? Some time ago they all randomly unticked themselves for me. Otherwise I suggest you wait for their reply or give them a ring? It's a shame as there seems to be a bit of a bonanza of jobs with this company at the moment!

    Thank you I have logged in and out a few times and changed all my settings and now i can see 166 jobs again. thanks everyone else but i know theres a limit to hoe many pubs you can take but it wasnt that as it was all jobs that disappeared. as for pubs seems you can take 1 meal and 1 drink visit and then they vanish if thats any help to anyone else :o

    I'm sorry I can't help you with this client angel13 as I don't have much experience with them, but I have done lots of reveals and think you were just VERY unlucky. I know that doesn't help, but don't let it put you off. And I would let the company know, is there a comments box you can tell them about this? I would think this would be something the client may be interested in. And hope you feel better soon.

    thanks rachael i didnt even think i was going to get a refund let alone do the rest of my work :eek: i now know never to buy anything from there as a standard customer as the changes of me getting a refund would be zero!

    Some time after 5th April 2010 you will receive a tax return this should be completed and filed by 31st October 2010 for the year 6th April 2009 to 5th April 2010 or if you have applied to do your return online you will have until the 31st January 2011 - just remember your tax payment (if applicable) will be due on the 31st January 2011 as well.
