    Deary me each to there own I suppose. I am checking the RE page only cos I am bored. The RE pub with a tiny fee vanished. Must be me but quite honestly how is it worth getting re-imbursed for a cocktail to then answer 74 questions and a huge big summary of the entire visit for that fee. No wonder RE are laughing up their sleeves and treat us like muppets when people are so desperate they take these jobs.

    And I looked at the questionnaire. What did you have for your 3rd drink. Oh I should have grabbed it and could have put " 3rd drink at that miniscule re-imbursement 3rd drink your having a laff"

    You'd be better off going to the off licence and get a bottle of red plonk for £3.49. 2 big glasses each and no mega report to do afterwards.

    To me? Am meeting my Dad off the train as he cant get his car out of hte driveway and the pub is next to the station, normally wouldnt even consider it but as theres every chance I'll end up in there keeping warm anyway.....don't worry I'll slap myself if I ever consider doing it on its own merits (3rd drink is optional on my notes although I will double check and save them before I go given their habit of altering these things at short notice).

    Plus the one I've got has a 'normal' rather than reduced fee on it (again screen grabbed earlier).

    Just signed up with esa and have picked out a couple of jobs I could / would like to do. I have applied for them and they have been in the same state since last night.

    How quickly do esa assign jobs?

    Sorry this may be a silly question as so far I have only done jobs where they are assigned straight away

    They can be quite slow. If it's not due for a while then you may not find out until a couple of days before the shop date.

    RE still playing up for me. Says 32 jobs available. I click on it and it changes to 46. Then it only shows me 13. Now I know I'm going cabin crazy from being stuck in the house, but that just doesnt seem right to me.

    Don't remind me, but its that or pay for my own drinks or stand on the station and freeze, which I've been doing all day at work as our heaters are so awful :eek:

    Only one I know in Cardonal is Lidl and Morrison's. Unless it is an express one. Which street was it meant to be on.
