    i know but i need the money! 2 esa dept store jobs in same store but diff depts so should be quite easy. wasnt sure if the system would allow me to accept them as they were in same shop but it did!
    Shouldn't be too bad then. Their reports are nice and quick. At least you dont have to comment on all 84 questions, unlike some other companies, who expect you to fly to some far off country to spend a night in a cheapo hotel for a measly fee.

    Can you open the questionnaire? It might give you a few clues as to what to look out for. I'm sure with a ESA visit you'd be able to stumble through it on just that. Their visits aren't too complicated and their questionnaires are so straight forward.

    Aaargh, do you think I will be able to claim for the speeding fine from last weekend when I was out ms'ing? ;)

    Don't know how much yet, got the notice of intended prosectution today, car registered in dh name so he has to send it back to let them know I was driving. Not sure what is going to happen though as even though we have been married 7 years my driving licence is in my maiden name, which wouldn't be a problem as you don't have to take married name but I am listed on the insurance in my married name.

    I did 10 egg jobs on that day so it was my best ms day ever so most of the money from that will be taken by the fine. I am so, so cross with myself. I absolutely accept that I was speeding and the punishment, but dh finds it mildly amusing as I honestly generally don't go over the speed limit. I need to remember to start braking before the speed limit changes from 60 to 30, not as I pass the 30 sign.

    I was joking btw about claiming the cost of the fine, just in case anyone thought I was serious, you can't convey tone of voice on a forum.

    Oh no!! Just done a job for Gap and forgot the receipt! Ah well, that will probably be my first and last job for them then.

    From experience it's normally £60 and three points. They don't normally ask for insurance details just your license and payment so I wouldn't worry on that score.

    I'm sure lots of ininsured drivers get speeding tickets and don't get caught for having no insurance as it's something they don't check!!

    You could always change the date on the system and do it again tomorrow if it's not too far away. Might be worth it if you don't want to lose out on any more Gyp jobs. Of course this wouldn't apply to a mobile phone shop visit as they will remember you.

    I am just finishing some reports for these (the two visit jobs). I am not seeing the pay claim screen anywhere. :(

    Does anyone know if this is normal? If so, how do we submit pay claims for these jobs?

    If no one knows, I'll email them.
