quick question for a realatively new ms'er -its tax return time! I have done tax returns before but not for ms'ing am just wondering if I put he whole amount in expenses for example if I have done a restuarant job and it reimburses XX amount but has cost me XX amount more would I just put in the reimbursement cost as it is in the original details or would I be able to put the full amount even though I know I will not be getting reimbursed for it? thanks )

Been out for a birthday and gutted i missed so many re alerts (i always feel like that)

I've always been a fan of my laptop but now i'm glued lol (thinking this would be a good time to consider a new phone so i can have a social life lol)

I moaned i have nothing and guess what. my co-worker takes a week off. I get a women for 12 hours (as this clearly replaces the work for 37 1/2) and i'm turning jobs down lol.

Theoretically i can't have dinner as knowbody will be there to answer the phone, so my responce will be
A) go look at the employment law
pay me £10 to site here as thats what i'll lose not doing my shops

Getting a bit grumpy with my full time work. been a temp a year now and fed up that my co-worker gets one THIRD more wage than i do.

Stupid, and flipping annoying.

Rant over, sorry guys,

I think the GFK banks are hit and miss and depend on the size of the branch and number of staff. Visited a village bank and there was no one available to see me there and then. I was offered an appointment which I declined and left.

When that happens I always insist on asking for some basic details of the account/product/whatever as per brief now - I aways insist - rather than leaving straightaway to show I have tried to progress with the enquiry.. to me it doesn't feel quite right if I leave? Probably me being too careful to ensure I get paid!!:rotfl:

Yes, as long as you report fully as to what happened. In my case, I queued to speak to someone at the counter who handed me a brochure and offered to make me an appointment to see someone.

I have just seen your reply - it always amazes me the lack of effort some staff in the Bank/Building Society scenarios display.... some are brilliant and others well - no idea how they ever managed to get appointed in the first place..:eek: the number that say here is the leaflet take it away and read it and come back if you have any questions.... I always push for more details - probably stupid but I feel quilty if I don't give them the chance to show me what they know or good service...:o

i am doing some re betting shops and have my first one sat. i have checked and there is a race at 3pm so i will obv have to go in before this.

presumably i do not need to ensure i go in say 15 mins before race and wait til its over? would it be ok if i went at say 1pm and spent 15 mins looking round, using toilet, placing bet etc... and then leave? WHEN i win i can go back and collect? (no if about it lol :rotfl::beer: )
never been before but assume not everyone hangs about waiting for race, match etc....? i mite wear my 'i am a mystery shopper' t-shirt just in case i dont stand out enough lol!

There are loads of races on each day - if you look at the boards you will see races today displayed - pick one of those it uses some time up since you have to stay in the betting shop 15 mins minimum - I pick by the colours of the shirt or the names :rotfl: Make sure its a simple bet on a plain white beting slip...I did one this week and was chatted up whilst in there :rotfl: god don't get chatted up often.... and he asked me for tips:eek::eek: I told him I pick my horses by the colours of the shirts and he couldn't stop laughing - s*d the form..:)

Good luck

I've edited my post cos I think you're being sarcastic but I just used the name that was on the ALERTs thread!

No, I actually meant it...thank you for not naming the client like most others do. "Txxso shop" (without the x's) is far from rocket science to work out.
