    I didn't mention how much or the client, I was just asking a genuine question as I needed help :think:

    Whilst I agree with you in principle (you've not breached any rules as you've not mentioned any clients' fees specifically) if everyone were to do this, we'd end up with it getting as stupid as some of the job alerts "yellow and black supermarket beginning with M on RE" (extreme example, but you get my drift).
  • OMG got allocated all 5 egg shops I applied for. Did not expect that! Gonna have a busy week next week!

    Still waiting to see if I get any egg shops this time. They've been good to me so far.

    Have worked out a circuit a bit further away from home. Started off with 12 applications. 4 vanished, so I added another 2. Another one's gone. Down to 9 now.

    Sounds a bit like an arithmetic problem from school. What is the minimum value of xy, when you're better off just staying in the house....?

    ...and lots of eggs to use up!

    I have just started to register with the various companies so if someone would like to refer me to RE please message me. I'm a bit bogged down going through all the info on the forum but thanks to everyone who has contributed. I have done a couple of the Gap tests and am looking forward to an assignment soon. Should be fun!
  • I've PM'd you Sooetie.

    Good luck!

    Now a question for the egg experts.. I have 'Hurrah..' been allocated an eggy job, my first with this company.. Have looked at the worksheet.. where do you find the actually details of the job??? on the questionnaire it refers to 'was product 1 available, was product 2 available'.. etc.. where do I find what I've got to look for.. I'm sure I'm just being especially thick, I think Gyp have drained my brain power....

    Thanks for listening...

    Same here got same job think I'm having a senior moment with this whats your excuse ???????:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I wonder if its to do with the deal posters that are in the windows, my local 1 always has lots of offers advertised in the window, if thats the case i'll take a look @ them on the way to the other job.
    If somebody could enlighten the pair of us i'm sure we'll be grateful.:)[/QUOTE]

    I'll have to add my name to the list, if anyone else finds out let us know :p
  • I did apply for 5 of these just after christmas, and the brief said exactly the same timings, what i was gonna do was get there really early before the shop opened, and do it so i didn't look sus, (didnt get them anyway) :( .. it was gonna be quite a rush for me as in jan the mornings were darker later,(wasn't getting light till 7.30 +), but now mornings are lighter should be a lot easier .. well if u only have 1 should be a doddle...
    Thank you Funny-bunny. This is what I am planning to do - I'll get up early and be on the location at 8am.. I think couple of minutes per each location will be sufficient. ;)
    Strangely enough, I got 4 of these assignments - the whole amount I applied for. Sometimes, you apply for as many as you can as you think you won't be given even 1. And if this happens that you get all you applied for, you don't know what to do!!!!!:eek:

    Got allocated 4 egg shops so far - had put in notes I could do if allocated all 4 and I got them all :). Rest are still pending... am hoping I get some of them too as I have another MS to do in that area in the next few weeks, so could make it more than worth the drive!

    TG and whoever else advised to change my camera settings for the photo jobs: THANK YOU :T - was so much easier this time round! Doh - can't believe I didn't actually think of that myself, but all of my pics went in one ZIP file this time, yay!

    Quiet weekend for once here - I have a TA to do after work today, a drinks audit over the weekend, and that's it! I may actually get some housework done for once...

    Actually, that's not quite it, I just remembered I have a couple of financial phone calls to do this evening, but shouldn't take too long.

    I picked up a hotel on RE the other night (was it last night? I can't remember :o), but have just released it as I decided it wasn't really worth doing: no evening meal reimbursement, 2 adults only (so would have to leave the kids with someone), and a fair drive with no mileage paid. Nah...
