Hiya,

Do you have this on PAYG DH?

No, contract. On the £40 per month contract, you get the phone for free, 1200mins, 600 texts, unlimited wifi and internet data

I have just killed the BIGGEST wasp ever in my conservatory! OMG it was huge.
We haven't had the back door or the windows open in there so I have no idea how it got in. We had a massive problem with a nest in the attic which was destroyed in July last night.

Thanks princess - yes I think it is that one as its the only thing there when I checked the postcode - other than a DIY store and a car park!

Im sure the stop watch should be perfect. I will at some upgrade my phone but when I find something that does everything I want it to. Not been impressed by partners expensive phones at all - first one fell apart after about 6 months so i cannot afford to buy something that does that. Been getting on with rest of surveys.

Also just emailed John Lewis. The sofas we bought in October I cleaned thoroughly yesterday and extremely worried to find bobbling on both sides of one of the cushions you sit on :eek::eek::eek:everything else looks ok so hoping the company that has the best customer service actually will do now i have a problem. I am really angry to be honest as took us months to find something that would fit in and now 5 months later something wrong with it, £900 is a huge sum for us so worried that we could eb stuck with something faulty :mad: my last leather sofa was a £300 bargain and lasted me 10 years

now for lunch a coffee and my movie seeing as the weather has got 10 times worse so noway i am venturing out now when i do not even have work to do.

As for burgers and addresses use google street option as its fantastic. i was checking everyone's address i know at the weekend and came across a christmas pud tree! I know its intrusive but i love houses - best bit was i can see where my cousin in australia lives! He emigrated two years ago so nice to be able to see where he is as I am not in proper contact (I am so nosey when it comes to houses so I had to check). Lucky for us out street is boring at the time and my car is not even outside - must have actually had work that day :eek:

I'm going to reserve judgement on it until it happens I think. I used to do ok with the old system of applying and waiting until the day before for them to allocate but it was so difficult to plan anything and often made planning a circuit difficult as they would assign one shop out of a cluster of ten. It was very frustrating.

Hi,

How to overcome only being assigned one job from a cluster is to state in your application something like this :

"I am happy to complete all the assignments in ......... as a cluster but I do need at least 8, 9, 10 (however many) to make this cost effective. Please don't offer me just one or two because I will then need to decline them"

This is what I write every time I'm planning a circuit or cluster of shops. Sometimes I don't get any but invariably it works, Alternatively, I call them but only if it is near to the allocation day.

Hope this helps.

ED phone opinions wanted.

It doesn't really merit a post in the alerts thread, but if anyone is flying from Manchester, Leeds/Bradford or Newcastle in the next three weeks, Gfk have assignments available which involve being sold a credit card (but not completing the app obviously) for a respectable enough fee. They're visible on the homepage once you log in.

I just popped into a phone shop as part of an assignment and thought that while I was there I would try and get a few of my own personal queries answered.

I was suppose to be getting an iphone for Christmas and am still waiting :mad:. Doesn't look like it's going to happen as hubby bought me a car instead. It's a complete gas guzzler and costs me twice as much in petrol, servicing etc. and I am not a happy bunny. Would have preferred the phone...anyway, back to the phone thing.

I asked for a contract phone on which I could get "push" email and unlimited internet access and unlimited texts.

He recommended the Nokia 5320 for only £18 a month on an 18 month contract. Now that's a lot cheaper than the iphone and does everything I need for MSing. I think?

Anyone have an opinion on this?

I would definitely be interested as son is 16 so not a problem. I have only found one site that does this sort of work and registered but did not hear anything. If you or anyone else has a list or can recommend companies to try I would be really interested. Thanks in advance.

I'll PM you

They don't ask what the difference is - they only ask whether you know what the difference is. I reckon "Yes" should do the trick!

That's precisely what I put, but on the client website I can't find an adult deal!
