Hi Truly Have a good day?
Were they a good company to work with? I considered it briefly a few nights ago.

Not too bad a day, in the scheme of things. How was yours?

They seemed pretty good in the brief (two weeks) time I did this. Contact was all email and they were very pleasant. They paid me reasonably promptly for the work I did, even although I resigned after a fortnight!

I don't think, however, that my experience was typical. I got a judge role, as againgst the more common assessor role. It was the content of the job that I had a struggle with. I am still bound, I think, by their secrecy agreement.

Let me just say that I was making decisions on content that would shock Amber Sunshine - if you know her website stuff you will know what I mean.

Truly I have not seen Ambers site but i am familiar with the work of L***Br**e not doubt spelt incorrectly. I would actually like to see what amber does, it sounds shall we say interesting.

Just look for her previous posts. Its not what she personally does I was referring to, she's lovely and very savvy - its the type of website she talks about, lol.

HopeAndDriftWood

Hmm...I've found somewhere I could get supplies for my craft business a lot cheaper, and the company have been really nice.
However, they need a UK tax number to continue. I don't have one, as I don't pay tax...Is it possible for me to get one anyway?

Edit: Sorry Truly, I got distracted. I think I'll give that a miss then, if I want to go into that industry I'll get the profit for it, lol.

Amber is very quiet...you okay lovey?

Amber_Sunshine

It's an online domination site, Pixie - though there's nothing that strong on it (well there will be, once everyone starts selling their smelly shoes on it). So I'm intrigued, to say the least, as to what Truly had to deal with ...

LilacPixie

SS there is no such thing as a UK tax number. Are they referring to VAT number or your self assesment UTR??

I don't want to mislead - I don't think that the majority of their work is in this area, from my reading of other posts on other threads. It was just my experience.

Never again, for me, though.

Saucy, I think you can use your NI number. See this forum

HopeAndDriftWood

I love everyone in this thread.
('Specially you Amb...I have some shoes ready for you!)

Edit, oops, I conversation killed. Sorry!!

I've sent them my NI number, hopefully that will do!
