Just had a quick check - mine still in my Applications box! Daren't say how many "egg shops" I've applied for - would like to think I might get 20 - what will I do with 120 eggs? - already got four and a half dozen from last week. I always apply for the ones near home (never get them) but also apply for further away ones - means we get a day out (husband as chauffeur), lunch somewhere nice and when we get back he makes tea whilst I do reporting in. One of the few advantages to being retired is that we have plenty of time and we get paid as well.
Must say Mystery shopping has really helped to get us through the winter - if we hadn't had to go out we would have stayed in and festered in the cold weather.

Why don't you start a cottage industry and make Easter decorations with the eggs. I'm going to have loads of fun next week during half term hollowing out the eggs and letting them dry and painting them for Easter (with the kids!) Meringues are another good idea and don't forget pancake day. You could make pancakes for the whole street!

I applied for one near me but didn't get it. It disappeared from My Applications box a couple of days ago.:(

Same here we'll probably get phone calls on wednesday when whoever was supposed to do them releases them!

My cheap shop got allocated to me on Thursday I think (might have been Friday).

Still waiting on eggs, and metal though. (not applying for the drinks ones, sounds too much for the money?)

My quick glance through the notes made me think the drinks ones were quite easy. Maybe I'd best check again?

Car Circuit Virgin Needs help!!

Got 6 in a day, all within a mile of each other.

Can I fit in a few egg shops and still get it done or do they take forever?

Cheers;)

Depends, I average about 20-30 minutes per showroom, you will need to write up in between also or you may get yourself in a mess!!:eek:
So I think it would be a bit tight if its your first run!

Just read these again, looks like quite a bit of admin. But at least you will be on licensed premises to do them! Will wait and see if any of us get allocated them.
