actually I saw it on the job centre site...I always look just for fun... and there it was.. funny as they don't have many jobs

They often advertise in job centres. I actually responded to an ad for them through my job centre well over a year ago.

Newbie question alert !

I have done a phone order ms. The item arrived today and says it has to be returned within 2 days - does this mean I can send it back today? Sorry to be thick but its my first one and I don't want to mess it up !
Thank you

I don't see any reason why it can't be sent back today.

So, I was right in betting on Ghana??
I was confused when I saw Nikki 2804 had won £48, Ghana didnt get the score predicted so I lost, but if it depends on the time of day she must have got a different bet. I was panicking thinking I'd done it wrong AGAIN!

The bet in the shops window was Germany v Australia. Germany to win 4-0.

I placed my bet at half 5 if that makes any difference? Was the Ghana game before that?

Within 2 days means 2 days at the latest, so today or tomomrrow

Original brief was any coupon of your choice. New brief is the bet in the window but it still has all the info about collecting a rainforest's worth of coupons on it and I'm not sure if the new questionnaire even asks about them

Basically this wave seems to have been thrown together in a hurry and hasn't turned out particularly well :rotfl:

The normal footie bet during the season is the "correct score" bet,any score will do,I am guessing that any correct score will be ok because I did two yesterday,one with an out of date poster and one with no poster.

I had an email job sitting in my GfK account waiting for the ten days to be up. It disappeared from my account, so I phoned GfK to query it, thinking that I might have miscalculated the ten days (with an intervening Bank Holiday). GfK told me that they have cancelled the email jobs with this company (a bank), but reassured me that I will be paid. It didn't sound to me as if the payment was being made automatically (I was told that my payment had now been added to my account during the telephone call). So anyone in the same boat, you may want to look at your GfK active jobs and check it out.

How lovely are Grass Roots? I just had to ring and cancel a job for today as I'm full of flu and couldn't remember a brief to save my life, and they were so nice. They rescheduled for me, commiserated about being ill and were generally amazing. They have made my flu-fuddled day so much better.

Grassroots are the best - I agree!

I love Grassroots - they are always friendly and understanding if you have to cancel.
