    regarding Re I haven't seen any assignments in the past few days ,has anyone?except for bookshops which I have done recently...how strange

    There have been some on the Alerts thread... but yeah, definitely a bit quieter over the last week. I normally do at least one a day but just two this week... I thought I'd just exhausted all the local clients!

  • In response to Becky Brainee

    It's a common theme. They usually only let you accept on of each. Unlike ESA where you can usually have a total of 10 of the same, RE only let you have one of a kind. Rubbish.


    Wish I was Becky Brainee, as perhaps wouldn't be swamped with RE proofing queries then (it's like some terrible lesson in seeing how many times you can re-phrase exactly the same thing :D) I would also be able to sort out my psychotic keyboard, it keeps doing the opposite of what I want it to (must be young and male..)

    I know RE have a limit on the same assignments, but was at least able to get 2 before. Not sure one is worth it half the time, even as a filler.

    PS, if anyone else is in the Sarf East, how sick of you of seeing the, er, round vegetable shop with a postcode beginning with C!?! I feel like paying someone to do it just to get rid of the flipping thing. A interesting illustration of how willing RE are to increase fees though!
  • Aw, play fair now, who just pounced on that Bluewater job ;)
  • Sorry for miss-spelling Becky, I was on my phone and in a hurry and forgot to tick the reply box.
  • Woohoo, finally got myself a bookshop! Have always been too slow and always missed them. Handy purchase to make before Christmas.

    Good job your profile says "East Anglia". I just had one swiped while I completed the eligibility questions! :mad: ;)

    Bet that was you that snaffled the pub from me 2 seconds before I pressed the submit button :D

    No problem, I found it quite funny!
  • Hi all,
    Just registered for a UK Co. with the initials MS & after their training section there is the option to take a test for £10 which results in a certificate if you pass.
    Is this worth doing?
    Thank you :)

    I signed up for them and then saw that. I'm inclined not to pay anyone £10 to ms, as there are lots of other companies. Be good to hear if they have lots of jobs!
