I have a TNS pub visit to do later and I just wondered if someone can give me a bit of advice please? If it says I have to order a vodka and coke, do you think it's ok to order a vodka and diet coke? I would email TNS but they never answer:(.

Yes no reason why not. Same price most likely.

Gosh that gave me such a shock. I will have to go and have a coffee and another 2 hot cross buns!! Bought 12 in a moment of weakness yesterday. Only 2 left. My 2 dogs must have eaten them overnight.

Thanks for the replies to GR query all sorted now, no idea why I couldn't see them before, strange. I accepted an RE job and I'm scared witless now when it comes to the report, I like reports that don't have problems, I suspect I'll regret going back to RE and may have to quit lol. Hey ho. What a shame they can't have forms like Retail Maxim, they are fab.

Morning all.... has anyone done any holiday shops ???... had a quick scan but can't see any info on this, (sorry if iv'e missed it) I have 5 holiday jobs coming up, just had a thought. !!! when you make a enquiry about holiday they take your name an address.. well defiantly your name, not 100% about your address but i would most prob think they want you phone number too thinking about it.... anyway wont it all go on their central comp system, so when i go to the others it will pop up that you have already made a enquiry either that day or the previous, about another holiday.... look a bit suss if it does..

Depends which holiday shop it is. I did one in Feb and my details were on the system for 6 months ago. I only gave them name and tel number (mobile) and the whole quote was still available. Easy to get out of since ages ago but perhaps a different name each time?:)

I just did an ESA shop, my first one and was stunned it was actually allocated after all this time of applying. It was fairly easy and was quite impressed with the questionnaire.

Looks like I'm being sacked from the gyp chicken jobs just got an email to tell me about jobs in my area and I can't see the ones listed on the email....yet I can see ones in other areas still. *confused*

Sounds like you've been excluded from those specific shops. It's happened to me with a burger branch (long story) and i think they knew I'd MSed them in the past. No loss really, just less chance of being arrested in the future!

EDIT: Gap have confirmed I've been blocked but they didn't know the reason (thankfully...not my proudest moment!)

I am very new to this MS stuff so please be gentle with me

I have registered with RE (amongst others) and today have checked the opportunties and there are about 8 within a 10 mile radius of me. They are for the same chain of shop but obviously in different locations. The shop (well a Pharamcy) is a great start for me as I work in healthcare but I wondered if it was OK to apply to do visits at more than one pharmacy. I thought I could maybe do one in my town and then one in the neighbouring towns but didn't know if this would be frowned upon by RE.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I think RE have a system where they can choose whether or not you can apply for multiple sites of the same chain at once, so if you applied for one the others would immediatly become unavaliable. So go for as many as you can.

Yes, they will always disappear if there is a limit so always take the one most convenient first.
