Did anyone get any stamp jobs in the north east, I've been refreshing for the last hour and don't see any. I've seen some in other parts of the country, just none up here. Just wondering if they haven't been loaded yet or if they are all gone.

I only saw two in the north east. I took one as I'm going there anyway and I can do it just before my SIL's birthday, so I can post her pressie for free

I haven't taken any Gap travel jobs as I don't think the fee is worth it compared to the amount of time you have to spend in there.

Work is light for the next three weeks. My parents (babysitters) jetted off to Goa yesterday so I've got Charlotte full time. Only doing regular audits around husbands shifts, and jobs I can take Charlotte on for the next three weeks. Can't imagine her being able to sit still long enough to do a travel agent job

I took some TA but now after reading the scenario I don't think it's worth it, but I'll see how it goes. The reports are usually quick so that may make up the time for being in the TA so long. Hopefully they won't be too busy and can handle by query without having to wait around for an agent.

What's with all these egg assignments?

Has anyone done work for IMS? do they pay two months behind? also, is it just me or do their jobs seem a little extensive for the fee involved?

They were at a supermarket/convenience store for ESA, one of the things was buying eggs

Can you advise whether the system would show a previous enquiry at a different branch on entering name or postcode?

Yes it is quite likely, and this does happen.

Chef! Did you do your crisp photos? How did you get on with them? I found them quite time consuming so I'd be interested to know what you thought.

I have been trying to do these for a week or so now, but am finding it quite difficult! Impossible to look like you are just texting and getting a clear shot. Also ended up with 2 members of staff in the aisle and a manager at one store, so had to abandon! Going to try again this week!

Hope you're having luck.

I find they usually just write the quote on a quote form, handwritten. Do they input it on the computer after this? Perhaps if we're doing more than one we can use other names and addresses instead of using our own each time.

Not started them yet, but I reckon it's going to be quite tricky. Only old people text with their phone right in front of their face, so I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb when I'm trying to take pics whilst moving up 1 bay at a time!

I've got 8 shops to do, and I think i'll get rumbled at some point.
