For info,
When you receive the MP3 thing, you can listen to it to get exactly what was said, if you didn't make full notes.

But only before you submit it! Very frustrating when you get a proof reading query 2 weeks afterwards, and you certainly shouldn't have to type and retain a transcript of the audio file...

Hi Folks

I have a flat tyre which happened on my ESA pharmacies circuit this morning. Not happy. Had 3 scheduled to do this afternoon. Obviously can't do them until problem is fixed and already have 4 to do tomorrow while daughter is in morning nursery.

Has anyone ever had the experience of an extension of time for ESA pharmacies? I don't want to lose my assignments that I had scheduled for this afternoon. I was hoping I could do them on Friday.

Give them a ring - I have found them to be very understanding in these sorts of situations and in reality they probably wont get someone to pick them up at such short notice anyway.

Hope you and your car are ok!

Only takes 1/2 hour to change a flat tyre :cool:

There speaks a man

For a woman- 1st -TRAP YOUR MAN This involves look alluring (could take half a day getting ready) and helpless

Then wait, gazing adoringly and making encouraging remarks, like "OOH, Gosh, You make that look so easy," while he changes tyre or whatever
(half an hour)

Then spend another half a day telling him how you are SOOO grateful for his help

See! at least a day,

Or take it to the garage, while the mechanic spends half an hour sucking his teeth, and telling you its so old and decrepit it's more than his job's worth to repair it, but he can get you another one in by, oh, well, as a favour, it should be there tomorrow morning, but he's so busy he wont have time to fit it until the following Wednesday.

More than a day...

Assuming you try to do it yourself, you can never get the bloody nuts off, which have been tightened by aforementioned mechanic
:rotfl:

My postman kindly offered to replace it and I quickly accepted. Only a temp one so itts now in Kwik Fit. When I pick it up will have to collect kids from school. £130!!! There goes a big fat depletion in my 9hristmas fund.

I did listen to what was said, but the questionnaire did not ask me to quote it verbatim!

I did my first jobs for them last month, and received a cheque in the post yesterday, together with a form to fill in to give my bank details for next time.

HTH.

Yes it does, very much - thanks

Quick question about BARE jewellery visits please. I can only visit one store due to my location but could do loads of phone calls. I can't self allocate yet so could I just apply for lots of them or just the one locally?

Thanks!
