Just seen the alert for MCE. been a member ages and not once ever seen a job. Do other people get a lot of work from these?

I haven't seen one for months, but just grabbed on thanks to the alert.

Why do you claim on the new Alerts thread that it was your idea??

It wasn't, it was Timmne's! :mad::mad::mad:

Yeah, I'm really angry! :mad: *

I wonder if the original thread is gone because a moderator has pushed the wrong button. I went straight to the alert and it was spam, so I reported it. I assume rather than delete the post that someone has binned the thread.

It wasn't, it was Timmne's! :mad::mad::mad: He set it up om 5th March 2008 which was long before you started MS-ing.

Chill out !!!!!!! I copied and pasted an older one to speed up the creation of anew one, I must've missed that bit when I went back to edit it. :doh:

Jeez, some people!

Back here for the first time in a few months, and I see that nothing has changed.

Major family changes here. Hubby left us. Left his job. We had to sell the house. Now living on benefits with 6 kids. I drew myself up a fancy new spreadsheet this week to make sure that my "earnings" (read profit) stay under £20/week so that I don't lose benefits. Pleased that my first week back at MS last week, I "earned" £4.71, as most of the benefits to me counted as expenses.

Picked up a hair cut on MCE, which is usually worth £50ish with no fee.

These are the types of things that I need MS for now - the luxuries that I can't afford, rather than cash in my pocket.

Just had an irritating conversation with ESA, at least partly my fault as I can't find a receipt from a job last week. But they did handle it badly and I got a bit annoyed then felt awful afterwards as I really need the work from them ATM.

Pleased to say they've assigned me lots of travel agents since then, so relieved that I don't seem to have too big a black mark.

I was already annoyed with myself about the lost receipt, but really didn't feel that I could revisit the store and do the same returns scenario within 3 days, which is what they were demanding I do.

And I was having a day off from MSing today, fat chance with 3 phone calls from different companies before 9.30.

If x many people press the spam button I think it just automatically deletes it instead of moving it and getting a moderator to review it. (After all, there aren't actually any moderators, just board guides!)

It's a user led moderation process, but only really works if spam is in a thread on it's own.

Agh, I'm trying to do the test for a GFK bank job, and it's telling me that one or more of my answers is incorrect. I have read the notes a hundred times. Any idea what it could be?
