Oh - RE has been really quiet this month, I've only manage to pick up two jobs, there were a couple of sandwich shops yesterday but someone nabbed them before I got to them.

Hello. Are you from West Yorkshire too? Greetings. I am struggling with MSing now. I think heaps of new people join up (no wonder they keep putting the fees and stuff down!). Only got allocated a single local store on REACT this month, the other other 7 went to others. Rarely do I see a thing on RE even though I am logged on almost all the time. On ESA just now, I tried picking up some visits, but by the time I had applied it had already disappeared and didn't even set foot in my inbox. Boohoo.

I didn't fancy any of the phone shops. Don't like that ESA have reduced their fees and the fact you can't take a photo of the front from a slight angle. I like taking it from a bit fo an angle as you have less chance of being spotted.

No, I just nabbed 2 in Leeds City Centre. There were 5, but someone swiped 2 as I was getting them. Oh well. Have fun whoever you are. Didn't get any in White Rose as it's too awkward to get there for me. They only had them there and in Bradford.

PS. Have visits for you been really quiet on RE? Over the last month, I have only done 2, both of which were dropped by someone at the last minute!

RE have been pants. Everything has. I watched a film last night. Thats how quiet i am (i can't normally sit still for a film as i have to much to do) but nothing. Normal work is even quiet

Really? Have you not seen any of the last minute dropped clothes shops on RE at the Kingsgate Centre? Mind you, they were men's so probably not. Let's hope next month picks up for us, though I doubt it very much.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm managed to get my fav clothes shop from a different co in the kingsgate. But not seen anything dropped on RE. Done a phone call for them (finally they have me registered for business stuff after like a year)

Possibly cos they were men's visits. LOL. I did think about doing them, but for the reimbursement, it would be pointless for me. I'm sure the visits went to a good home.

Oh and they have put some more AUDITS on GFK.

Hello All, thanks for the thread.

I've just started doing this, I've done one burger and one ice cream job, and have a day out lined up for next week. I just had a couple of queries, sorry if they've already been covered in other posts.

When I tried to book my first job with GAP I clicked on the wrong burger job, so straight away gave it back and chose the one I wanted. I've tried to click on a few more jobs for the month, but it says I'm only allowed 2 per month. Is this because I'm new do you think, or because I affected my rating by giving a job back?

Also, with the ice cream job, I was served really quickly, and there were no tables to sit down at, and now I'm not sure if I listed correctly all the other products that were available there. Do you think they'll withhold payment because of that?

Any replies gratefully received.

Hello again all.

I posted this yesterday, but got buried at the bottom of a page!

Any ideas anyone, it's so depressing seeing all those lovely jobs and having to wait for another month before applying, grr!

yes, I am from Yorkshire as well and have been MS for over 2 years now. I have a couple of jobs today, one tomorrow and a few next week but that is it - however, it is always quiet at this time of the month, it gives me a chance to get on with my tax returns and housework.

Phone call I just had to do for Hellion didn't answer on any of the 3 attempts I had to make - so that was a nice easy few pounds to earn!
Am also glad that in the notes it says to NOT give out any of your details, so they must have changed that now, as someone (sorry, can't remember who!) said they were inundated with follow up calls for ages afterwards!

Got another one to a different branch to do tomorrow though, so fingers crossed same thing happens! Although it's a very straght forward questionnaire and scenario anyway so I wouldn't be too disappointed.

One of the ones on the front page!!!


{{{Waves}}} to Scotties Mum - how is Barbados? Have you completed your report yet and do you have to do a report on the homeward journey too?

Yes, the assignments are much the same as they were with the old MS Co. Two reports on most routes; one outward and one return. Exception being the Sydney via Hong Kong ones.

EDIT: I thought you'd done one of these recently TG, or had been allocated one recently?
