I don't think it's cos you are new. I've been doing ms'ing for a while, and I struggle to get anything in Leeds/West Yorkshire. I think there has been a mahoosive influx of new shoppers or one greedy sod gets the lot. I've done 0 mystery shops for about a fortnight now. God knows where they all go.

Oh no! that's bad news. I mean I'm not gonna be totally reliant on getting a steady number of jobs, just signed up to do them for some extra pocket money to get me through college, and something to do in my spare time I guess!

I guess if you are online at the right time you will get some visits. There are some chicks on here who are from the West Yorkshire area and they seem to get a few here and there. Keep your fingers crossed love, I'm sure you will. I can remember a few months ago, I was doing about 3 a week, now I'm lucky to get 3 a month. Maybe it's cos I go online at the wrong time, or some visits are blocked as I have done them recently. God knows.

Will just have to test going online and searching at different times of the day I guess, I promise I won't get too greedy if I ever hit the jackpot haha!

I keep getting rejected for jobs on GYP, it seems to be completely random - some I will be allocated and some I won't. Does anyone know what's behind this? Are there limits to how many active assignments you can have at any time?

Are you trying to shop the same place but on different days? I think there's got to be a certain length of time between your visits to the same place

Is anyone a Promocar panel member for TNS? I'm interested in doing this as I've done loads of the BARE car jobs. I've viewed the video on the site but cant see where to sign up for it?

I swear its virtually impossible to find jobs in Yorkshire! I'm signed up to many different companies and haven't yet found one close enough to me for it to be financially viable, they're all 20/30 miles away which is really hard to get to when I rely totally on public transport. I guess its because I'm new and have to learn when all the jobs are released eh?

mellymeep, are you signed up to the alerts thread? I'm in W Yorks and although it has been a bit quiet, I manage to pick up quite a bit.

@MoneySavingBecky: Pinecone ain't what it used to be. They used to be really good at sending surveys out, about 2 a week, now it's like 1 a month.

@RE uploads: Did anything actually go on last night. I missed them all AGAIN! I can see a few pubs, but I ain't interested in those. Boohiss.
