    Well I just think the amount its gone down isn't going to make me do any emergency" visits that I KNOW they will be calling me for in a few days.

    Well done :) I'm sick of the sight of them to be honest... There's not a month goes by without me either self assigning some or being begged to do some :( could do them with my eyes closed!! And always have eggs coming out my ears :rotfl:

    The fee drop is disappointing but it's happened with freezers, pharmacies, travel, and now eggs... Can't comment on death as never see them. Luckily though they take about 10 minutes in each one so even for the reduced fee it's fairly worth it...

    They're usually fairly realistic when it comes to urgent ones as well re mileage unlike gyp who expect you do to a 200 mile round trip for a greasy burger for a pittance :)

    None at all in my county and usually there are hundreds! Does anyone know if they release them in stages or all at once?

    Not suprised at fee cut, thought it would be by more though tbh.

    Right I am new to ESA and I have just applied for two egg jobs, they are in my application folder, do I get alerted to the fact that I can do them or do I just assume they are mine. Just out of interest how much has the fee gone down by?

    It says that you can only do them once every 6 months (Egg shops that is), do they waiver that if they're desperate?
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:

    They will move to your in box if you are assigned them, and you get an email as well.

    I am not sure - I did one on 27th Feb and I can't apply for the 1st September. I think I may have to wait until the 28th of August to apply
