Sorry to hear about your day. Ouch about the car door ( I've done that few times)

I did a holiday shop today and it took ages and it was not worth the fee at all. re the left and right could you look on google earth or maps?

Good news is no you won't. Read my tips thing as I included it on that. To repeat if shop was 68 High st. Google 66 and 70. Bob's your uncle. Sorted.

We've all had them, in fact most of last week was like that for me even managed to do the wrong location on one. Sorry you've had a rubbish one just keep smiling and hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better

I was expecting an awful day but it went really well... One bank, three travel agents, some crisps, two sandwich shops, greasy burger, chicken shop, a bookies and an audit... So tired now and looks like I'll be up all night doing reports!

You images are probably too large. Mine upload in a couple of minutes max! Set your camera to the smallest resolution possible - mine is VGA - they upload quickly and easily.

Thanks for the idea but I use my phone. It's only 2mp so nothing amazing. Can't change the resolution though. My main camera is a lot larger and as I do all mine covertly it would be too obvious haha.


Funny bunny I did a phone questionnaire today too. My guy was happy enough to chat to me, I think he liked that head office asked where they could improve! Did take longer than 5 mins though.

Worth checking just in case - I use my phone too and double checked my settings last month (thanks to some very helpful peeps on here :T) - my phone camera has actually got a "Picture size" setting which allows you to choose VGA. It was set to 3MP before and took AGES to upload... now it's a cinch! Mines a SE if that's any help...

Has anyone had the follow up instructions etc for the Bare test centre job?
