I had the pleasure of 2 weeks in Egypt back in July and it was awesome! Have you picked up any of the airport jobs on the way out?

I'm a bit poorly at the moment. Made 10x worse by the antibiotics So I'm holding off on a few jobs til the weekend.

I thought they had dropped the 3 month deadline, and it is As soon as you do your first job?

Well I started in Oct, and registered in Dec.. Phoned them today as I hadn't heard anything and the chap I spoke to didn't make any comment on the 3 month deadline...

Below is taken from Direct Gov Website

It's important to let HMRC know that you're self-employed as soon as possible - even if you already fill in a tax return each year. If you don't tell them within three months of the end of your first month in business you could face a penalty test.
You can register by:

• calling the Newly Self-Employed Helpline on 0845 9154 515 open from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm Monday to Friday and from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm at weekends
• completing the form at the back of the leaflet: 'Thinking of working for yourself?'

it depends on the store as in mine they hardly had any branded stuff. i bought a sausage roll for 75p and said it tasted plasticy. they looked at me like i was insane but i got my refund in both stores. a cheap pack of biscuits would also be good as easy to crush! someone else suggested taking a pin and making a tiny hole in some milk so it dripped! like being in secret service lol :rotfl:

yeah, ive been racking my brains trying to decide what to get, was toying with the idea of a bag of flour or crisps or biscuits. Its only a small store that Im going to be doing and dont think they will have much own branded stuff but Ill have a go:D

Check 1st pages of this thread, ESA is one of the MS companies.

The egg assignment is a part of one of their current jobs.

Look under companies on the first page of this thread and you will find a link to ESA. Once you have joined and been accepted as one of their shoppers you will be able to see the assignments.

SNAP! red fox and scottiesmum!
