Finally did the last of my crisp jobs today :j Also did my first cat shop (done the 'short' ones before) and it wasn't half as scary as i thought it would be!

i only have one crisp job. did it today 10 mins after store opened and it was great! every shelf was packed and straight so i did not have to take loads of close up pics like i usually do. not one customer or mos got in my way either

I have been doing these for years. I have never listed the types (despite the questionnaire telling you to make a note of what they are). I just say how many different types there are and how many of these are the low fat option (as well as putting the same figures in the boxes!). They are obviously happy with this because I have not been marked down for it (now that they grade the reports).

i have done two and did that as well, just recorded and repeated the numbers. been offered other jobs so doesnt seem to be a problem

The bad news is I had an accident on the way home and am sat here feeling shaky drinking hot sweet tea. No real damage done, but in around 25 years of driving I've NEVER had an accident so it's hit me a bit.

*hugs* hope you are ok xx

Best thing to do is get back in the car! A lorry changed lanes without looking and ran me off the road and down an embankment when I was 17 and had just passed my test. I didn't want to drive ever again, but my Dad forced me into the car and I'm pleased he did. Was still nervous around lorries for long while afterwards though

Perhaps a bit of yoga on the wii fit will do the trick. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

If you have a Wii, try EA Active. It's more intense than Wii Fit and you'll get better results from it. You'll be sore and sweaty when you finish, unlike Wii Fit! I do that as well as the boot camp

I was a right couch potato but I've got into fitness now and I'm loving it. I'm busy thinking about running a Race for Life but not sure yet. If I do, I'll be back to pester for sponsors :D

No MS work today but have been busy on a uni assignment. Starting lots of egg shops tomorrow. Mam said she would look after Charlotte for a bit longer on Thursday so I can get them all done, so I said I'd pay her in eggs :rotfl:

Can anybody give a rough indication of what a good score for React is please? Many thanks

I've got several 10's :cool: and then some 9's and one 8 and 7:eek:

I think it really depends on the type of job you do.

My petrol visits are easy peasy with little writing so 10's

The Coffees have more detail so 9's

[The 7 was a Coffee (after some Wine ) Note to self, finish report then open the wine!]

I would imagine the "days out" are more intense so more likely to socre less

IMHO I wouldn't really worry. So long as you are reliable and do a good job (7?) then IF they implement the scoring to determine jobs you should be OK.

I normally write stuff down on my phone so it looks like I am texting. They can't really expect shoppers to remember 10 x sandwich names and panini and other items!

Talking of the scores, it's really getting me p***ed off! I have had a 8 and a 7! I followed everything in great detail. I did not have any spelling or punctuation errors. What the hell am I getting low marks for? And who do you contact to query them? I've also noticed they never mark me for the easy ones like Jewellery. I'm not impressed. Errr.

I had an accident when I was a learner in a car park. My stepdad did the same, although he didn't make me drive home. He dragged me to the car an hour later and said lets go! I've had an accident since due to a mini roundabout and he didn't indicate and drove over it (not round it like you're meant) yet cos I hit him, I got blamed even though I had a witness in the car because it wasn't an independant witness, he got away with it. I didn't drive for weeks after that but just because I didn't have a car anymore lol

Hope you're feeling better now.

I have a Race for Life number for the Sunderland 5K one on May 23 at Herrington Park, you're welcome to it. Was going to do it for the 3rd time but have been signed off work with Stress and to be honest dont think i'm up to it. Yours if you want it.

Hi

I have finally got some egg jobs! Not been able to self acllocate but I was called a few days ago and offered a few local ones.

Just had a look at the questionnaire..looks long! 107 questions, hoping they dont want comments for all questions like certain ms companies?! Anyone ever had the situation where they don't have any eggs? It's just one of my visits is to a forecourt with a very small shop so was wondering what I should do if this situation arises.

if you do a re airside job, how long do you get to imput results?

I am currently watching the events on the news whilst browsing this thread. My imagination runs riot everytime somebody mentions a crisp job, they sound quite comical, I look forward to one day attempting these myself.

Thanks for the advice everybody about the Coffee Jobs, all taken onboard ready for use next time.
