The eggs rang me today asking me to do a last minute assignment that someone has obviously dropped. I told them that I would help them out if they help me out by giving me some more assignments in the next run as I have applied for 11. No can do. What a shame they're not like Gyp; I can always get a great deal out of them when they come begging.:(

Can I ask, has anyone been paid for the crisps jobs for January yet?

Thanks JC. These jobs are a total nightmare. I'm thinking of getting a new camera to see if I can get clearer pics.

I have them quite liberal on fee increases and open to negotiation, though I have not tried asking for additional work.

Typical, at exactly the same time as I plan to go away all these new jobs come up that i've not seen before.

The clothing on ESA I would have jumped at, and the female betting on RE too.

Never mind, hopefully they'll appear again in future.

No sign of mine. It looks like they are paying only if you query it. I haven't yet as I only did the lighter ones which didn't add up to much.

Still, if they said they would pay it they should do it automatically without us having to spend time chasing it :mad:

Send an email to: [EMAIL="shopperpaymentuk@gapbuster.com"]shopperpaymentuk@gapbuster.com[/EMAIL] then they should pay it next month. They'll work out what they owe you. But I agree we shouldn't have to chase this. I had an email confirming the amount a week or so ago but they haven't included it in this month's payment. Tis annoying.

Just done my first egg shop. I went over the max budget ooppsssss and spent £4.16. Do you think this will matter ? Did go back in and get a sandwhich refunded for £1.02.

Also the fee quoted on the brief does this include the reimburshment ?

Thanks for any help. Hopefully I will become a master of the egg shops soon like you guys !!!

It is reimbursement plus fee. I would remove the reimbursement amount from your post though.

Going over it isnt a problem. I usually do. You still get the £x.00 reimbursement. I have bought just eggs and a sandwich for just over the amount allowed. Get the refund. Then get the full £x.00 with your fee.

I've overspent (I ended up getting the wrong eggs one time and they took me over the spend). I got paid for it but there is a reason the spend limit is what it is relating to how the staff deal with the refund element and if they are required to take your details etc. The Old Mill must be a big building - lots of us seem to live there!
