    Just got an email from ABA-i saying more petrol jobs released. I can see them, but the system won't let me select any of them! Anyone else having this problem? I've tried on IE, Firefox and Chrome to no avail!

    Also I have a question about bookshops with Re.It says on the questionnaire that you get reimbursed a £ sum but on the assignment it only says half of that sum, is it because the other half covers the cost of the coffe shop?it doesn't say anywhere
    Thanks:beer:

    I really have no idea

    Oh and I got a -5 marks for the report I did on RE where the assistant swore. What gives? Should I have lied and said the visit was fantastic instead? I thought the whole purpose of MSing was to give an insight into the customers experience? I get the impression shoppers get penalised for negative reports. Not good!

    I have been penalised recently too but not for negative reports - having to clarify comments that are perfectly clear and I also had to answer a question that wasn't on the report. I am not sure what their points system is for but am fed up being penalised because they want further clarification. I never used to have any problems so i am assuming that they have a new over zealous proof reader! :eek:

    When I did one last month, it was a sum for the reimbursement and the same sum again for the fee. Could you possibly be getting confused with that? Otherwise, I have no idea either. I can't see any bookshops this time round. :-(

    Hi no there is a double fee for the reimbursement and half that sum for the fee.A bit confusing:question:

    Spoken to them this morning they know there's a problem and IT are working on it so just keep trying :)

    They can still book jobs from their end so if you see one you want might be worth giving them a call or an email to see if they can book it out for you.

    Does anyone know on eDigital what happens if you accept more than 6 invites because it says to only accept 6. Do other people accept more than this? I don't want to accept say 10 and then not get allocated any because of this.
    Thank you!

    Just had mine clarified. I used obscene language in the report. PMSL! I just said the assistant said I am p$$$$$d off. I did not write the full word down, just used $$$. I know for a fact that if I had said foul language was used it would have come back as a query asking me what the bad language was. You can't win some can you! Oh well. Lesson learnt.

    PS. Is the coffee, food, pubs visits etc making anyone put loads of weight on? I have gone from 9.5st to almost 11st. Not even my stepping machine and bike are keeping my lbs off. Boohoo. LOL.

    PPS. Looks like a dropped business phone call on RE in Yorkshire, and some kind of dropped car visit on GFK in Yorkshire too.

    I am doing a shop that sells pizzas tonight for Gap and I can't print my paperwork - it's coming up as file not found - can someone help as I'm a bit hazy on what I should/shouldn't ask for. I know it was med pizza either with starter or desert and 2 refill drinks - no pineapple and not margharita - is there anything else I should remember?
