Does anyone else get really, really annoyed when you've been to a particular place, and then you get home, and suddenly jobs appear for that area to be done that day?

That annoys me too!

Has anyone else noticed that the number of released jobs seems to be increasing?

Yep its all down to me..... I'm signing up to RE under different names and accepting every job I can in different areas then not doing them.

Its my punishment to them for not having jobs in my area for weeks now.

I'm gonna single handedly put them out of business so the better companies can pick up their clients when they go out of business for being unreliable!

Could be the weather and the time of year when people get colds and flus, etc.

They're my faves too. Haven't eaten their Christmas Pud yet from their last assignment! I hope we get to MS their pub chain too sometime.

well ive got one of the alcohol ones showing near me but in here it states they are in east anglia only and im not there! not heard of this shop before and screen states different reimbursement than the notes and its out of date so i am guessing they are fakes?

well i am going for it even if it is a fake job and had to put some weird responses for the weird questions but I have been allocated it so will have to wait and see - it is probably in east anglia after all of this

On the crisps front, I found most stores had the bacon fries / onion rings type crisps in own brand. If not, then I've tried sandwiches (tasted off, was pretty much accused of lying), dairy desserts (said the cream was off, they checked the expiry date then said that was funny), biscuits (broken, straightforward), chocolate (difficult to complain about, said it had an odd texture) and a squashed quiche (they obviously thought I was a bit odd but refunded me politely anyhow). But on the whole crisps has been by far the easiest.

In one shop I was sitting in my car outside crushing my crisps and realised the barber in the shop above was watching me. God knows what he must have thought!

It's all put me right off bacon fries though, which can only be a good thing. Shame it has also put my kids off eggs, they are now refusing to eat anymore. Good job we're down to the last dozen.

try vegetable frittata in the oven and make it with some milk and cheese and it wont taste eggy and they will eat it - yum! i make it without milk and cheese as im on a diet

otherwise get them baking cakes!

I average about 16 a month, partly because I have a full time job too, but mostly because i'm picky about what I do and who I do it for. Theres a lot of people who do a lot more than me on here tho.

This month i'm currently on 13, and have already got 10 lined up for the first 2 weeks of Feb.
