  • I'm on the outskirts of Sunderland and my estate is at the top of a hill. I did get out earlier and do an audit and a big shop but the roads were really bad. Had another audit to do and there is just no way. Also had 2 mystery shopping jobs in Bishop Auckland and Darlington to be done today which I'll have to ring about on Mondya.

    I think its unlikely I'll be able to get off the estate now and think the children's school will be closed on Monday.

    I hope the companies are understanding.

    Looking forward to sledging and snowman building tomorrow!

    D.
  • Morning all. Has anyone been allocated any of the react electricals yet? They all say they're due tomorrow, but don't appear to have been given out yet. Seems a bit weird.

    I've been given and done one, pretty soon after applying. I assumed they were all there because nobody was applying for them, they've extended the date now as well.

    Brrrrr I feel cold already with all this talk of snow and it's still about 25c here. Gunna be a huge shock when I land in 9 hours. So anyway, someone fill me in on the gossip of the last 3 weeks!

    I was allocated 4 which I did on Friday. Doing the reports now and finding them very slow...:(
  • I must be nuts... Just got in from a late night burger, 65 mile round trip doing 40mph down the motorway :(

    All this on top of going from 28 degrees to this weather plus jetlag. Seriously fed up just want to get on a plane and go away again!!

    How's everyone else coping in the snow and ice? I couldn't even get on the drive tonight, got stuck and one of the neighbours gave me a push :o

    Eight audits tomorrow plus a cinema :rotfl: thinking I haven't got a snowflakes chance in hell :(

    Hi. I'm really baffled now. Can you pls explain how a 65 mile trip is worth a burger fee? Am I missing something here?

    BTW, no snow here at all, we appear to have got off very lightly in Cheshire.
  • Hi,
    I am new to the forum and applied to join my first MS company last week. I followed a link from another forum on this site. A couple of days later I received a phone call from them asking if I wanted an assignment near me and I hadn't even had the "telephone interview".
    So 2 days later I was walking round this supermarket buying lots of makeup, which was entertaining for a bloke and leaving an item on the bottom of the trolley, trying to avoid the security guard......
    I enjoyed the experience of not being on the receiving end of a MS for a change.

    A question I have is how many MS companies should I register with.
    There are over 30 companies listed at the top of the forum and the one I started with is not even on that list.

    :snow_laug:snow_grin



    Sign up with all of them! They won't all ring and hassle you, most jobs appear on a job board on a website and you just apply for the jobs you want to do. You have to be quick because its fastest finger first in most cases.

    Please let us know the name of the company you worked for so we can add it to the list (but not the client!).

    Welcome aboard!

    We've had more snow overnight and it was -6°C outside when I got up at 7am!

    May or may not pop out and do the audit from yesterday. Going to hold on an hour and see what these heavy looking clouds are going to do first.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • No snow here. -3.8 when I got up about 8am

    Is the original REACT allocator due back soon? Please tell me she is! I think I am going to stop bother applying. I get 3 10's in a row and I have been allocated 0 out of around 18 visits. The new one is something else!
