    I've not done any burger jobs!

    You know it says you must be alone - would baby in car seat count on a drive thru?

    Just planning jobs for April and thought I could sort lunch out!

    I'm sure you're not allowed babies in car seats on drive thru's. I know I never did them with Charlotte in the car.

    It's stupid I know, but rules is rules :rolleyes:
    Here I go again on my own....
  • At the risk of looking stoopid, i've been thinking about buying printer paper + office supplies using a Tesco gift voucher i earned from an online survey :beer:

    Can i claim this back from the tax-man, or would that be a p1ss-take too far? ;):D.

    I wouldn't risk it, Glamazon. Someone on here had their report invalidated by the store manager claiming she had a pram with her (she didn't) and another's report was invalidated because they claimed someone got into her car in their carpark AFTER she had done the drive thru assessment!

    Stupid, stupid rules - I mean surely most of their business is families? But no, they are only interested in how quickly they serve the single person wearing the "I am the Mystery Shopper" t-shirt!!

    Nah, claim it!!

    I usually get my paper when I'm doing GR electrical supplies, and even though I'm reimbursed, I still put the receipt through my books as expenses!

    Anyone not using gift vouchers ;) - Asda has HP paper at £1.50 per pack at the mo (i.e. even cheaper than Tesco Value). There was loads on the shelves in the three stores I went to yesterday.
  • OK you regulars with ESA .. exactly when do they pay????

    I have checked the OP :rotfl::T:rotfl: and it says the 9th of the month, but in my ESA account is a pay statement dated the 21st March. Do they really take almost 3 weeks after raising the pay statement to pay you?

    Yes! Job cut off is 14th, pay statement raised 21st (jobs have to be processed by then), pay date 9th following month.

    I've got a small fortune coming my way next week. Can't wait!
