Okay, just accepted a tapas(?? I think) on RE. Anyone done one of these before and does the reimbursment cover the cost or will it cost me anything? QUOTE]

The reimbursment will cover the items you MUST buy, so if you just want a drink and a snack then it's fine...if you wanted a meal you will need to order more tapas and so it will cost you more! The full menu is on their website so price it up before you go.

Grrrrr, I'm going to my local one for my Birthday this weekend . . . and the dates are for next weekend! Always the way.

Ya, same bank account, is that what they compare against? I would have thought financial details were very confidental and couldn't be used for any purpose other than paying people.

I wasn't able to ring the UK number from my Irish mobile so I emailed them instead. Will let ye know what they say, if they even respond.

Just wondering do you guys use a blackberry or other smartphone to make sure you get the emails from the shopping companies immediately. I know some of you do this full time or almost fulltime and ye can't be sitting home all day to respond to emails and the alerts thread! I've been wanting a blackberry for ages and I'm thinking this would be a great use for it.

Yes, I know of husbands & wives who have both been signed up with Gap and they have both been sacked 'cos Gap thought they might be the same person! Do you have another bank account you can sign up with?

And I have an iPhone which is brilliant for (a) Getting email alerts and (b) Checking sites during the day. Regulars on this thread will know how much I love my iPhone!!!! I've also got a Netbook which I take out with me if I'm out for the day and I find somewhere with free Wi-fi such as Pret a Manger, MacD's or Costa, then for the price of a coffee I can have a good old catch up!

Has anybody received payment for the cat jobs at the beginning of the month?

Also Tractor Girl is there any update on the horrible dry biscuit you have had to purchase, did they agree your muffin!

Thanks everybody, this thread is a lifesaver of information and also helps pass the time when OH is watching yet another football game!

Didn't do any of the catalogue jobs, so can't help there, but yes, I did purchase a muffin (or it might have been an almond croissant, can't remember!!) - haven't had any queries, but it's not been scored yet and I did it on 24th June - mind you, the previous one that I did on 15th June hasn't either!!!

Diets well AND truly out of the window!!

Oh lucky you, I love the tapas jobs, yes they do usually cover everything, if not you'll only be a couple of quid out of pocket unless you go mad and order loads!! The Lamb Stew is my favourite, also the potatoes with tomato sauce! Yummy!!!

Well you need to go to the accommodation which isn't necessarily by the uni! Also worth pointing out that the viewing of these may be significantly reduced from the "visit between these times" that RE give. I had to visit between 10 and 3 which was a right pain in the !!!! as I work in the day. I mentioned it to RE and they apologised but nothing they could do.

Just accepted my first visit for TNS, i think! It is self allocation isn't it?
It in "my visits" and apparently the work pack has been sent but it isn't i my inbox arrgh

Big excitement!! Been with a dining company for ages and not managed to get many dines, but had a few in May, and got good feedback- have just reached the next level up and instantly- up popped a new dine, only need a couple more then I'm up the next level- will be cruising in the Bahamas soon (in my dreams)

Am I right in thinking that this company only pay reimbursment and have incredibly long questionnaires? This is what I have been told so maybe wrong!
