print screen it? if you just want a piccy of it
i havent worked for them so i dont really know what you mean but i usually rint screen websites if they dont let you copy things

I tried that but I think because it contains personal information it comes up blank when you copy it into the address bar to view it.

Could somebody tell me the best way to paste a copy of an order for eDigital please? I tried copying the address bar but that just comes out blank. Should I copy and paste to word? TIA

I just paste the email confirmation.

Totally agree with you chuck. But you know what happens when you give a bad report on RE, they take off loads of marks and then it's query upon query upon query. I think GAP just sack people for bad reports. I don't understand it myself, but to each their own.

I tend to find RE are pretty reasonable about bad reports - they can be pernickety about many things but if you mark somewhere or someone down for a good reason they tend not to fuss.

i think its both but I could be wrong

All this checking does get a bit addictive :rotfl:

You are right - you get the fee plus the maximum reimbursement stated in the brief. (provided you spent that much!)

Can anyone with the psychic bank account tell me if there's anything pending for tomorrow please?

No, nothing pending on my account for tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Things usually go through Monday night and sit in the pending pile for paying in on Tuesday.

Seeing as the 25th July falls on a Sunday, do you think GfK will pay us on the Friday before (23rd)?

I really hope so as off to Legoland this weekend and could do with some extra funds in the old current account.

Help needed again please !
I tried to do a job for gfk today that was to buy a hot meal and drink, but the place doesn't do hot food so I had a panini.
I've tried emailing and phoning but no one has got back to me. Should I try and input the answers or wait for them to contact me ?
Thank you

Don't you love it when a plan comes together...

Yup - got an early appointment in the morning and have to leave home by 8am, so my Mam said she'd rather have the bairns overnight rather than get up early to collect them. She arranged to pick them up on her way home from work this evening.

Then last week a MS company rang with an urgent assignment asking if I could possibly do an evening meal visit one night this week. As we've got no bairns this evening, hubby and me are off out for an Italian meal :cool:

I've never had that happen on RE. I rarely get any queries at all from them, and I write a mix of good and bad reports depending on what happened.

I'd put the results on anyway, then you're covered. Try and speak to them tomorrow to explain what happened.

If they don't do a proper "sit down" hot meal then I'd say a Panini was fine. I've done the "slap bottom" supermarket cafe for them, and also a DIY store cafe, and for "hot food" I've had a panini and it's been fine.

I had one where I did the wrong scenario for GR once, took me over an hour doing the wrong scenario, realised and went back in and did the right one after I called them to let them know. A month later got a query because I hadn't asked them to write the rate on a business card they couldn't send it to the client... So in total spent about 2.5 hours including the report for naff all... Won't make that mistake again!!

It's not just me then. I have to go back to redo a GR travel shop tomorrow because I got the wrong one! Could kick myself, gave them a glowing report too cause the service was fab lol

I am really getting fed up with these egg results now!. I had five on Saturday and they were my first ones. Did them with no problem after reading on here the hints and tips regarding them. Couldn't up load the info sat but, again, saw on here that that was a common problem. I have now been able to enter all the times and check them but now I can not upload the receipts! I just keep gettin a box that says 'access denied'. Is there something else I should be doing or will I have to phone them again??
