    Haha thought so. I work in timetabling at my local uni so it's coming up to our busiest period :)

    I think the school holidays are a little busier for some MSers as other shoppers go on holiday or have the kids so can't do as many shops. Should fit with you perfectly!

    Yeah that should be cool, I only work term time but when students break up for holiday, not much to do, so my boss is cool if I take longer lunch hour in the summer.

    I know admin staff have to be there at least 9-5 term time or summer, at least I go to work everyday, you get these full time lecturers who disappear all summer '' working from home''

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Did an RE bookies today (the one they changed last min :mad:) and I actually won. So fee, reimbursment plus £48 winnings. Not too shabby :D.

    I take it I just take the betting slip back to the shop and claim my winnings?? Im such a dunce when it comes to bookies :rotfl:.

    Nikki - you can take the slip to any shop of that chain to claim your winnings. Well done - none of mine were even close to winning!

    well done nikki and fiver that is great
  • None of mine came anywhere near as they all involved last night's "dead cert" that didn't happen... How on earth we managed to draw with the USA :(

    I do have one that I'd put on just for a laugh though on which matches would not have both teams scoring and so far its getting there. If my other 4 predictions are right I'm £90 up :D Paid for that one myself though it wasn't part of the MS.

    OMG! At this rate, I am going to be able to open up my own earphones shop. What is everyone else buying for RE visits where you have to make a small electrical purchase?
    You can buy what you like- I got a George Foreman type grill, in my last one, blenders all sorts are Ok as long as they are electrical

    I'm still baffled with this one, I thought we had to do the bet that was in the window- in my case ghana to win 2-0, are all the windows different then?
