    My online bank says the ESA payment a pending payment and will arrive in my account tomorrow.

    :j Thanks MG & TG :)

    The best thing for me is I use my main bank account to pay for the stuff and then use a seperate account to get all the money paid into. I don't miss the money when it goes out so its like an added bonus when it comes in! :D I'm using my MS money to start paying off the mortgage a bit and paying off a debt to my Dad. It's all extra cash as wages are all acounted for (well my pathetic maternity pay) so hoping to get sorted out finanicially! :D

    Just done my Helion reports - very easy to do! :T Tried to write a decent brief but it's hard when you practially have to drag information out of people!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Just asked my father, who has done some Helion work this week, and he confirms he's had fb on 2 out of 6 assignments from ER. One of those was pretty poorly marked for no justifiable reason - he just quoted to me what was said in the email and then put it into context of what the assignment was - it's just plain daft, why didn't they contact him and ask for the specifics? All the more unfair when you consider that they won't "enter into discussion over grading" but that they will use it when deciding in future whether to allocate work./


    Exactly......if you're going to give feedback then at least make it consistent and understandable. The feed back I got was ridiculously confusing and definitely not consistent.

    One flipping question about petrol. Was it open. Thats about it.

    My good the supermarket TNS questionnaires are the most boring i have come across so far. I even like the RE ones in comparison lol:o
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    oh for the chicken and egg fried rice with chilli recipe - I've deleted it from my PM's as they get really full so maybe brryssn still has it??

    If not, I can retype. :D


    Here's your recipes back Glamazon!!:D



    I chop an onion and add to some hot oil in a wok
    chop up your chicken and add it to the wok with some Chinese 5 spice (you can get this in most supermarkets)
    Add a chopped chilli - I use a whole one but we like spicy!
    Whilst chicken is cooking, put some basmati rice on to cook (I do it in micro)
    Halfway through the rice cooking, add some peas and sweetcorn to the rice
    In a frying pan, make scrambled egg and add some more Chinese 5 spice
    Add the cooked egg to the chicken in the wok, then when the rice & veg is cooked add that to the wok and drizzle some more olive oil on the top and fry it in wok for a few mins stirring constantly so its doesn't stick.
    Serve with some Soy Sauce - you could add other veg.

    Another fab receipe is Chicken Asian Broth which is from the Jamie Oliver book - it's a 20 minute receipe and we have it every week! It says to use Rice Noodles but I can never find them so just use Rice.

    Chop up some chicken and rub it in oil & chinese 5 spice
    Put some rice on to cook
    Cook the chicken in a pan - it just needs 5 mins on each side so its cooked but not overcooked.
    When chicken goes on, put a litre of water in a pan to boil and add a chicken stock cube.
    Chop up a thumb size piece of ginger and a chilli
    Add to the boiling water with some soy sauce along with some mangetout, baby sweetcorn, water chestnuts, beansprouts and any other veg you fancy.
    when rice is cooked put it in a bowl
    I pop a sieve over a jug and collect the stock in the jug and the veg in the sieve - distribute the veg over the bowls and add the chicken.
    Pour over the broth and enjoy :)

    That's strange - the assignment I booked earlier today for the RE Health Shop, to be completed tomorrow, has disappeared from my account!

    Has the client cancelled those too.....................?!

    As normal the RE website is playing up at the moment - I have had a query on a report from a couple of weeks ago (obviously giving the same information in about 4 different places was not enough for them and they want it again :mad:) and I can not answer the query, it just gives me a "query can not be updated" error.

    Therefore I wonder if they website is randomly deleting jobs - nothing would surprise me anymore with them!!

    No idea but it wouldn't surprise me!

    I don't do many jobs for them but up to now everything has been fine - yet today that one has disappeared, I had three emails saying the stamp shop ones have been cancelled and I'd already completed mine & sent the report in - those emails were all addressed to different people btw - not to me!

    Also I accepted a cleaning one and it all went through briefly then came up with "error, this is not associated with your account blah blah...."

    I daren't look to see if the three Audits I got today with someone else are still there............................:eek:

    Here here,

    *************One for you to read this max?********** ;)

    We are all in agreement some of the FB was totally unjustified and not explained fully

    Morning All

    I have four jewellery audits I need to get done today then a host of other jobs that need doing for before Monday and I'm hoping to get as many as possible done so we can chill out for a couple of days when the kids go back to school.

    What's everyone else got planned? and does anyone have any 'insider info' on when the egg jobs will be getting released?..... I know its a long shot but I live in hope that someone somewhere knows what's going on :rotfl: I for one am generally clueless :D

    I got feedback for 4/5 jobs for Helion from ER. They were all graded 92%. I got 100% on everything except the final comment which was too brief. Seems there has been a huge misunderstanding somewhere about the word "brief".

    I'm off to do some more Helions this morning, so I will write longer final comments and see if I get a better score on these.
    Here I go again on my own....
