I can't see the appeal in staying at a hotel room for the night working on a report for no fee. Sounds boring. I'd understand if it was a profitable exercise but I can't understand why everyone wants to do it.

other then points no reason

Yeah that has happened to me as well, however I have some memory of this happening before just after the date changed and it sorted itself out... or am I just being hopeful with RE....

Yeah it seems to have sorted itself out this morning and the payment is shown as being paid 25/09/10

that is the monthly allowance- if at the end of the year your total taxable pay (after super annuation etc) is less than 12x 540, claim a refund. I was on supply for years and it was a right faff, but I usually got a nice fat cheque at the end of tax year

Thats what I figured - a nice big refund was a positive.

I now have 3 jobs to my Self Assessment and have been putting it off as I know it'll take forever.

Must keep eyes focussed on the tax refund!

That's a very VERY old fashioned way of typing, and actually comes from the early days of the printed word, whrn two spaces were used to make it clearer that there was a full stop.

These days it's generally accepted (certainly only, and generally in the press industry) that one space should be used.

Tell them that it's not the 1960's!

Not so much just the 60's really. During the 80's in my secondary school, I had compulsory typing lessons. We were taught to use 2 spaces after a full stop, and that is what I still do. Force of habit for me, and do not really think about it when I do it!

I was due a payment from RE on 25th Sept and it has now been moved to 10th Oct. Anyone else had this?

My payment due on 10th Oct seems to have now been paid today.

Anyone give me an idea of how long I'll be waiting reimbursements of Retail Maxim, OR QDOS? I had a hideously expensive couple of days!

weeg-QDOS pending on the gig you did roughly 2 weeks at most the cheque will be with you. Retail Maxim... mmmm i dunno about them.

RE sucks! Why do they always put new visits on at 1am! I'm fast asleep then. Do they not understand that? By the time I log on, misssaraleigh has pinched them all in my area. Sigh. I was hoping to do some electrical shops, they only have them miles away now.

RETAILMAXIM pay once a month, I can't remember the exact date, but it's towards the end of the month, possibly the 25th or the 27th. If you had to make a hefty purchase, they tend to reimburse you within a week after you send the items and paperwork back to them. HTH.

PS. JEN_BR, you better now love? I know you were in hospital a bit ago. Hope you have recovered and are back to your usual self chick :-)

Because they love me? It's the only time my insomnia has ever been useful. I managed to grab two non-spend electricals but there were still about 15 available in my area (W Yorks).
