You should be able to change it from assignment stage list page, then there should be an edit button next to the set visit date line which i am told will allow you to change the date if the job allows.

But its not working for me, i keep getting the assignment has not reached that stage yet also. But then it also tells me i need to view assignment specc which i did several days ago.

Sent them an e mail and will call on monday otherwise i can see me loosing my jobs.

I tend to select latest date when select RE jobs to give me leeway in case of snow etc ....then I always do them 'early' and the way I change the date is by clicking on the calendar on the earlier date. Have done it 4 times within last couple of days and worked each time........

Hope I've got the drift of your query right, should work for you. Nor should you have points docked as you're doing them a favour after all doing it early:T

o dear i have not really looked at the product but from the questions about it in the questionnaire it appears that you still have to eat healthy and excercise so don't really see the point in. esp as it costs about £40 i think :eek: side effects don't sound good either!

Pharmacist explained still have to eat healthy and exercise - product 'punishes' you if you eat too much fat as goes through you v quickly with certain sensations, noises.....:rotfl: won't put you off lunch!!

If I was looking for dieting and punishment then flagellation with a stick of celery much cheaper and possibly more pleasant ............did I spell that right? Not a word I use every day :rolleyes:

Just gone to do the 'catalogue' shop. Idea was purchase item from the list (in stock) same again with an out of stock item. Problem being, stock checkers were not working.

I deceided to leave the not in stock product, as if they had it stocked this would cause a problem as i was meant to be returning the in stock product. could hardley return both. But.... the in stock item was out of stock (hope your following this). So, it's not like i could have gone back with another item. e.g. ok, can't buy an alarm clock, can i have a printer instead. I thought this would have been a dead give away so abandoned shop.

was this the right thing. Will i need to complete the paperwork or shall i contact and rearrange the shop?

Snow forecast again for end of next week. Only have two jobs for next week and I'm quite happy with that now.

Sarah you have 24 hours from your visit to enter the details. If your visit was today then you would still have time to call them first thing tomorrow. As I remember they ask you to check the in and out of stock items before going to the till. Obviously you couldnt. That might be enough for them to accept your report on it's own. If they want you to go back then I would ask if they'll cover the cost of the 2nd visit.

I did my catalougue store yesterday and only 3 of the 8 products that were supposed to be available were actually in stock. Also be warned the products available are heavy, so you won't be able to go far while waiting to return it!

I assume your store didn't have the quick pay kiosks/or they weren't working either as I'm sure the Company will ask. I wouldn't fill in the paperwork yet, I'd speak to them in the morning. The ipod speakers if available are a light choice for carrying around...! Mine had a tour of the town before returning yesterday..!

OMG, I had exactly the same problem yesterday! The lightest items were out of stock so madam here had to lug a blinking great box with her! :eek: Got a few looks as I walked down the road in the rain too! Luckily I had a coffee and cake visit too which was near by so sat and did that with my big box!

I always check the store stocks on line before I do the visit. If there is only one in stock I look down the list until I find an item with more in stock...that way it is unlikely that they would have sold them all before I make my visit.
I also check the out of stock items cos I was caught out once because they were in stock!
