Anyone else get an email from TNS with RE: to cider visits? about allocation? -- I got one but they want to give me 6 pubs WELL out of my area. not what I applied for.

Gah! I just realised I sorted my Excel file to put all the jobs in date order so it was easier to mark off the ones I'd been paid for. But I missed selecting the first column with the job numbers, so now none of my job numbers match the jobs. It's gonna take ages to put them all right

The shop comments to read before you apply state that they expect you to do several of these (5-15).

Just been out for dinner, went well, now at home cuddled up on the sofa with my cat watching did you hear about the morgans.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I laughed so much at that film that I was sore by the end of it - I felt great though - nothing like a good laugh to give that feel good feeling :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have a posh handbag to do this week. I am a bit worried about it because I am not sure that I can carry it off. I think the bag is hideous - I am a radley person. I could probabably dress appropriately to carry it off but I still won't look the type to pay all that money for a bag. Anyone got any advice?:question::question:.

I did one of these last week, I was worried about it, but the staff were lovely- I reminded myself that they were not expecting anything other than a genuine customer, so unless I did something odd they were not going to be suspicious.

I also thought about my sister who dresses like a student in her time off, but is well off enough for this type of purchase, and reasoned she couldn't be the only one, so my smart casual would probably go unnoticed, and that seemed to be the case.

That and when they said the 3 figure sum for the bag I pretended the 3 figures were pounds and pence rather than hundreds and tens! Much easier to be enthusiastic about a bag for under a tenner!

you can always look like an eccentric millionaire- that's my approach as I look more like a bag lady than a fancy bag buying lady!!!!

Be confidant. Convince yourself that you can afford it, and others won't question whether you can afford it.

It's all about being in the right frame of mind.

Oh I knew that but it was the allocation the way they split them was weird...

Just been thinking about these Edigital surveys. Does anyone know how to find out how much we are being charged for using all these 0844 numbers? Some are listed and that's fine, except when my 8min call was 10p/min! It reduces the fee somewhat for a simple survey.
I have emailed BT just wondered if anyone else knew
thanks
