Back to work in my real job.....not a holiday in Scotland sadly.

I think I might be getting confused with Christmas....you guys get the 2nd of January as an extra day?

Glad to hear the Helion jobs are going well.

When I hear that you have all been paid , I will consider doing the tutorial or whatever it is that you have to do to accept jobs.

Don't want to do loads of work and then never get paid (although I'm sure you all will, I'm just being extra cautious).

Well at least if we don't get paid all we've lost is petrol and time and no reimbursement money. A good way to start off with a new company.

Morning All

Today is a good day to be in Northern Ireland....(and possibly scotland if memory serves me right) as today is also a Bank Holiday

I have quite a busy week stacked up today (between me and DH) we have 3 corner shops, a petrol and 3 crisp jobs, tomorrow I have 5 phone jobs, pizza dine in, a crisp job and 4 jewellery audits, then Thursday I have the last of my crisp jobs and a food for react. Friday so far is a stamp shop and a supermarket I've also got a few applications pending here and there and so hopefully might get some of those.

Also going to ring retail active this morning and see if I can pick up the pharmacy job that needed doing by yesterday as I'm over that way today.

I shall also hopefully get some of the thousands of jobs that will be released today.....:rotfl:

What have you got planned?

I plan to sit at my computer all day, refreshing the Alerts page and skipping from one MS company's website to another to try and pick up some work!

All I have planned this week is: one petrol, one corner shop, one electrical store and two phone shops. Fingers crossed that more will become available today as I plan to do all of the above tomorrow.

others degrade themselves by accepting payment from the company to attempt to discredit anyone who criticises them.

I agree with everything you say, EXCEPT that last bit. I do regular work for gap and I am under no illusion that at some point something will go wrong somewhere and the end result is that I will be sacked. However in the meantime I am happy to work for them as the reports are so easy!!

Now I'm sorry you've had a bad experience, but I am in no way "degrading" myself by doing work for them. Work is work and money is money however much it is.

In terms of your specific problem I'm afraid that I do actually agree with gap on this one. The notes specifically say - You must obtain a receipt for validation (You must ask for a receipt when it's not automatically provided – this should be a printed, itemised copy and not hand written). Card receipts are not itemised therefore you cannot prove what you actually bought. If you ask for a VAT receipt you'll get an itemised receipt.

Yep, back to "auld clothes and porridge" as my Dad used to say...... (ie back to normal).

So back at my day job, but thankfully I'm working from home today so will be able to refresh to my heart's content......

Hello Irish Shoppers

If all of you in Ireland are lucky enought to have another day off, could you please go to the cinema and take the jobs off the ESA website for us.

I think the suggestion was actually that there are people out and about who may have accepted money from the company in question for the sole purpose of talking down criticism. In reality, I suspect gyp don't need to bother with such tactics - there are plenty of people who are prepared to more or less defend these crooks to the hilt without payment.

It's not a Bank holiday in Northern Ireland as far as I'm aware!

JC - get to work you lazy lazy person! :-P
