Do you all MS fulltime then?!

No, I do 1 or 2 jobs a month! But I'm working up to being way more active.

On my one there is no petrol spend which probably explains why they are still sitting there!

There are two there which are at either side of a service station which has been on the news in Scotland quite a bit at the moment and I do not think anyone will be getting there to MS them in the near future and if they do there might be quite a few spaces on the shelves :rotfl:

My boyfriend thinks msing takes over my life. He may be right. I applied some self control and saw a job i 'could' do but i have so much work to do i left it (although had it not been one where you are banned for a year from the entire chain after doing one, i don't think i would have been that well behaved)

Yeah mine gets annoyed with me as well, I spend "all my time" either MSing or with my horse, and saying I need to do one to have the other does not really help my case!!

Having just changed jobs recently it is getting harder as I can not do as much in my lunchbreak as I used to, meaning more in evenings and weekends.

I MS part time and I am self-employed in another part time job as well to supplement my income. I have one nursery and one school aged child, so MSing and the other thing work well. I tend to do somewhere between 3 and 25 assignments per week, depending on what's going.

My husband hates the Msing job I do! He thinks it's a complete waste of time. He would rather have me cleaning the house but I hate housework so this is my excuse to get out of it. I have to do it sneakily most of the time, when he is at work. I don't MS on the weekends unless we are actually going to the shop anyway together with the kids. Worked well this weekend as had to do Christmas shopping at posh dept store and he was alright browsing with the kids while I MS'd. He doesn't mind the free petrol either, for some reason that's allowed.

Suggest he pay for the horse? My OH used to moan I had no hobbies, now he moans I spend too much on hobbies. Can't win. Tho I could do with earning some cash to pay for some of my toys. Plus the dog ate his hearing aid last week...

Many many thanks to the MSE member on this thread who suggested 'Dropbox' a few months ago. I can't remember who it was, but many thanks. You have made a super full day of mystery shopping and photo taking so easy today. THANK-YOU!!

Nicked from the 1st post...

ABA-I

Allocation of Jobs - Self allocation, you need to keep checking the website
Pay Day: Depends on the job, but generally within 2-3 weeks of the job, by cash or voucher sent by post.
Tel. no. 01727 837322

Adding clients
If you only have one client showing when you login, call Aba-i and ask if they can add on any more clients. They should be able to add two more particular clients without any problems. Emails don't get answered very often so call them for this particular request or use this link and add them on one at a time, by clicking “register” even if you’re already registered and follow the instructions, selecting your user name when it comes up. They currently have 11 clients.

The hyperlink didn't show up in Yonk's response, so the easiest thing to do is to copy the whole sentence below (not just the hyperlink) and paste into Google:

site:http://www.aba-i.co.uk/

Look carefully at the results - I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought they were all the same initially! The last part of the link in the results shows the names/initials of the stores. Click on each link and register again to add the different clients. You should be able to add 4 or 5 this way. There are others, but they can only be added manually by aba-i.

Time-consuming it is, but worth the effort!

Ha, ha, I've always been a bit thick adding the clients and I've never actually manage to do a job for them. Don't like that you can't see the exact scenario and think the fee doesn't cover the time adequately. But everyone else seems to love them, obv missing something.
