Yes, if you did them last month for some reason you can't see them :mad:
On another note, anyone having problems with TNS? Can't get the page to load

So is the job showing as active and in your job list? Neither of mine are. I have emailed them in case it is a technical problem as I applied and selected date and was told that I had the jobs.

Yes, it's showing as active and in my job list. I wanted to do the visit this weekend but that one had gone so I picked one to visit next month! Hope you hear from RE soon.

with petrol jobs i dont know location but there are 7 for milton keynes which must be worth one person taking for a days work. I only ever see 2 near me and I have both allocated to me but cant get to them as of yet

thanks nothing as of yet. i hope i have got them as do need to look for a bed. does anyone know how many you are able to accept IF i do get to see them again.

Btw different question but Feb jobs made me think of it. I have my first dry cleaners booked. I popped in there yesterday and checked prices of items i need to have dry cleaned. Both are over the reimbursement - one is 3 times the price :eek: so can anyone tell me what they manage to get cleaned for the budget given please. sounds bizarre i know but I have a table runner which was expensive and has to be dry cleaned so thinking of taking that instead but based upon prices I was quoted I am now also expecting that to be too expensive as well :rolleyes:

Help! I have a local store for TNS to do. Ive just gone to check the shopping list and it has clothing, dvds, cds and an electrical appliance on the list and i KNOW my local does not stock those sorts of things? Am I looking at the big stores shopping list by accident?

Ive emailed them as checked all the notes and they all refer to a competitor visit and not a local store visit.

I'm pretty sure you can only do one bed place as when I had one allocated, the rest disappeared. As for the dry cleaning - I don't think the reimbursement will cover the whole cost of the dry cleaning so probably only worth doing if you happen to have something that needs doing anyway.

Well I do have things that need doing but the price was so expensive and far more than I normally pay to have things like that dry cleaned so I think I might be better off cancelling job and paying for dry cleaning elsewhere which seems stupid. If anyone does know of items that have been cheap enough please let me know as I couldn't stand there rattling out an endless list of items to get prices as I probably already seemed like a loony

What questions are peeps using when phoning the store on the RE delivery jobs? I'm struggling to think of something

I asked if they had a certain dvd in stock.

Found the questionnaire on RE was ok to fill in. Hadnt been sure how it would go after reading about some of the problems on here but it was ok.

Got another one tomorrow, hope it ain't the same delivery guy. He'll wonder what I'm doing.
