I've done it now and the training and have applied for some of the jobs in my town and the 2 neighbouring towns so am hoping to get a couple of them

Where there many near you? I didn't search that far this time!

Hmmm, there were absolutely loads of jobs near me. In my home town and every neighbouring town. I'm not sure how many one can apply for but i've applied for lots

does anyone know if is ok to use a hotmail email addy for gap? I signed up but didnt get the email from them with my password etc

the email should say go to Signin page, enter your shopper number and then click on forgotten password and they will send it to you

AFAIK they don't actually send you a password unless you do the above

I think I applied for 12 but can't remember. My problem is the deadline date as my OH is off next week so it means I'm only free for 2 of the days you can do them otherwise I'd nip over to Liverpool and do the ones there as well! although I am meeting some friends on the 7th so if the L'pool ones are still on I might apply to do them instead. I could really do with the money

What do other people do in that situation, do you just pretend everything is normal?

I've cancelled the job a couple of times (there were plenty of dates available for other shoppers to do it). So, they think they've been MS'd for the month and await their glowing report, only to realise that they were actually shopped a few days AFTER they thought they were, and the other shopper caught them "off-guard".

Gave me a sense of satisfaction and hopefully taught them a lesson.

Before the trouble-makers on here jump on me...I actually spoke with GAP and they agreed that I could do this if I wanted to.

Hiya Peeps,

Just a local pet shop for me today after RE phoned me. I told them why I rarely take work for them anymore and they offered a double fee :eek: I asked if she had been drinking :rotfl:

RE:Euros into Banks.

Nationwide Cashbuilder Savings Account don't charge for deposits made in Euros or dollars.

I've been getting payments into the account for a couple of years ow from companies across the pond
