    Ugh nasty wet day out there -spent the morning picking up expired jobs and sorting out admin. New printer won't scan when it has run out of ink I've just discovered GRRRR

    Off to brave the wild winds and wet -ah well at least BlueWater is nice and dry once I get there. Pawn, TVs and Torsos today for me-not an egg or a coffin in sight ;)

    Why is it all the jobs that I can see on RE are past their dates!! Some by two days.


    Same here there was @ least 6 Glasgow Jobs that needing doing yesterday & were all dropped after the time limits, ie the ' Sunday Lunch ' jobs.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
    The best laugh was that I never seen them when they were released grrrrrrrrrr

    I think this is the big problem with self allocating,most times you only see them after they've been dropped.
    Although RE are apparently keen to get to grips with this ongoing problem.
    As for ESA, I can self allocate, but never even seen any egg jobs in my direction, must admit not that bothered as it would have been very awkward to take the pics & I would have felt as stressed as everyone else.

    I have a HTC desire and thats android and i can use RE fine


    I have the HTC Desire & RE is the only company I can't log on to.............. but I don't do much for them to be honest, and usually have my Netbook with me too so can always use that.

    I find I'm using the phone more & more though...................it's just so easy to check everything on there - I love it! :D

    It's so annoying when that happens. I can see a job on RE that was due last week and I walked past the shop twice during the dates. If I'd been offered the job, it would have been completed on time. I'm not going there this week, so can't take it.

    Just been to the gym to work off some more curves and got an email from RE saying the music shop is available again as someone dropped it. I went past that soddin' music shop about 20 times last week and I could have done it. I think they should start using the bloody points system only allowing people with high marks to do visits instead of chumps that keep dropping stuff!

    I have been recommended the HTC Wildfire and HTC Desire in several different phone shops I've MS'd in the last couple of weeks, and I keep being sooo tempted to get one as they look fab!
    Especially the red version of the Wildfire.

  • Just a thought: we seem to discuss smartphones pretty regularly here. Maybe it's worth collating what we've talked about and adding a brief guide to the OP. Additionally, we could mark against each MS company listed whether it's accessible by phone. How's that for an idea?

    Trouble is with that idea though is that new phones, deals and software are brought out all the time and things in the industry can change so quickly it might be difficult to keep the info completely up to date!?!

    I'm currently in the market for a new smartphone, and would appreciate any pointers (good or bad).

    Never had one so don't know what to look for or avoid (other than the advise received in 9 MS visits!)

    I'm sure I remember someone mentioning the iPhone on here once or twice ?!

    Still no payment or answer from BARE about payment. I really think people should be warned about possible risks so I have stuck my neck out and started a new thread on the Upyourincome board. I don't know if this is the right thing to do but I really don't think we should be recommending that new shoppers sign up to work for them without knowing the risks.

    Did you get paid yet yonk?

    I have just fired off another two emails though I am not expecting any miracles.
