    I just checked my bank account and there was £90 missing! :eek:
    Then remembered it was from my job yesterday! God job I'm getting a refund tomorrow but I have to go back and visit more departments and speak to another 9 people - that's 19 people in total over the 2 visits.

    Gotta get OH to help me put the item back in the car in the morning - it better not rain!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    What are E Digital Research like? I've just signed up for them and I didn't realise it was all online based and you have to buy stuff. I'm not sure if I like money going out of my account constantly, I'm a bit worried about going overdrawn and being charged. I'm presuming you get to keep the products?

    Some jobs are just looking at websites, but others have a purchase and return bit. I normally pay by credit card so I haven't actually used my money, and then it gets refunded back onto the card.

    The trick is to look for light weight items in case you have to pay return postage (t-shirt, pillowcases - that kind of thing). A lot of companies send a pre-paid label or you can return free at a branch of their store if you happen to be passing. Some have offers on such as "free postage if you spend £30" so look at branded t-shirts etc. If you play it right, you can get free postage on the way out and free returns, so it doesn't actually cost you to do the job :money:

    I like them as I can earn a bit of money while laying on the sofa in my jarmies :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    on that note, has anyone had their retail surveys approved yet? i've not and all all my others were done in a few hours :( hope they are done by 19th as i need them to raise an invoice!

    Mine are still waiting to be vetted and surveys I have done after them have been passed for payment.

    Edited : I have just checked and I have had 2 out of 9 approved over the weekend.

    i thought it unusual not to see it in my bank yesterday, as they are one of the most reliable for paying on time.
    Thanks
  • If it was the one near the swimming pool, then that will explain why there were no balloons left when I took my kids in this evening!

    Lol! No this one is on the retail park.

    Yesterday was a Sunday though!!! You have to allow another day when the due date falls at the weekend!! Banks don't work 24/7 !!!

    I am with All & Leic, so any payment due on a Monday, shows in my bank on the Sunday. I know some banks show monday payments on the Saturday.
  • Gotta love TNS. Just received an email of quick supermarket jobs that need doing today.

    There's one near me. I can do it today. But the stupid system won't let me accept it as the due date was yesterday!!

    WHY do they send our emails for jobs we can't accept???

    They are getting more like RE every day - (1) Don't respond to emails (2) Put jobs on the site you can't accept (3) Release jobs for no reason (4) Pay is getting worse and worse (5) Communication is cr&p - anyone like to add to the list?????
