I'm not sure if this has been answered but can anybody else NOT get in to the test on the new TNS Sassie system? How do I complete it? And is this just trialling in a few counties? I got an email about coffee house jobs but there are none in my neck of the woods.

The test isn't important (I seem to remember when I did it, there were a handful of questions along the lines of "What is 2 + 2?" with the answer being "Yes or No"), so don't worry about that. The full June/July coffee wave is being done via sassie - you missed the boat and the jobs are gone I'm afraid. The jobs were uploaded long before (at least a week) the email about them came out.

Yeh I think we will be haha. I just didn't want to have to have pizza again so soon. It doesn't fit in with the diet.

Turkish pide must be less calories. The dough is rolled really really thin and then it's just got a scraping of topping on.

I like mince flavour best:

or other flavours on this list:

Should be petrol, shop, car wash covered in the reimbursement, you only get back what you spend though, and in a lot of the cases the garage doesn't have a car wash so obviously will be lower spend and reimbursement for those ones.

Small fee aswell.

I'm not bothered about the questionnaire, but I'm regretting choosing today rather than yesterday, I bet (no pun intended) they're going to be packed with England supporters making bets :-/

Not in Scotland they weren't- thought I was going to be lynched putting my bet on England to win!

One of my RE bets is a winner, but IIRC the bookmakers take your ticket back if you cash it in ( it's been years since I made a bet in a shop, I usually do online). So can I claim the winnings? Because RE are able to ask for the receipt for several weeks aren't they?

Yes, it says somewhere on the brief to just log the 14 figure number

Sweet That makes the shop worthwhile then, especially as I made a mistake on the second half of it.

I've never been in a betting shop before so coped with the toilet etc, but got odd looks stuffing hundreds of leaflets in my bag, and relly didn't have a clue what I was supposed to bet then my comparison was directly opposite and the punters in the otherone saw me come out of one and head towards them- I realised how odd this would look so swerved into the charity shop.

I had to do a circuit of the town centre, because they were opposite each other. I've been in a bookies before, but it was when they were seedy places that only men with pipes ventured into :rotfl: I'm was surprised how posh they looked.
