    Only reimbursements for items purchased, I've never claimed anything else.

    Morning people. I wasn't going to do any MSing yesterday, but the pull of a free lunch and dinner proved too much to resist.. :D

    Quick question: what expenses do Tern reimburse? This month was the first I've done jobs for them; I know the form says to send one form per month, but (for example) how much mileage can you claim? And is there a maximum? Thanks!

    They stopped paying mileage some time ago (unfortunately!).

    Good idea, where do you keep your phone - dare I ask? Had mine in my bra strap hence it falling out when I leant over!!!!! Also I've been wondering whether I can use two apps at the same time? Will try today

    Do you have a microphone on a lead?

    I've got a dictaphone and I wear either trousers or a skirt with pockets and a top or blouse that doesn't tuck in. The dictaphone goes in my pocket and the wire goes up inside my clothes and it pins just at the top edge of my top. It works really well for me.

    I do covert audits like that and just mumble into my cleavage to record all the data I need :o:D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Best. Quote. Ever.

    I have to get myself one of those just for the novelty value of trying it.

    Has anyone else given out one of those instant reward letters at an underground sandwich shop? By jove, I handed one over and she looked like she was going to cry (not happy cry). Her face just dropped. I felt really bad!

    Hi,
    Have been with them for a few years & jobs are far & few between.
    Don't remember how complicated it was to join. But have noticed over the time that a lot of their work is now being done by a few of the other companies now.
    They also pay in $ & thro paypal, which can be a drawback.
    Very rarely access their website now & generally wait for them to drop an email if there is work
    hth :)
