Hi TG,
As I don't work for them anymore (keeping in mind I sacked them, if the truth be told I DO MISS THE 'SPECIAL PACKAGE' @ XMAS.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Hope u spend it wisely this year & indulge yourself @ the expense of Gapbuster.;)
Because your worth every bit of it ! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
LOL:)

It wasn't a monetary payment! I was very pleasantly surprised. It's beautiful.

You're not allowed to send personal details by PM.

So it was organised it on Facebook instead, but then we were accused of being cliquey and not letting others join in?!!

You're not allowed to mention you've sent details by PM or you're not allowed to send contact details by PM? Not doubting you but hadn't heard this before. Asking as I sent someone my email, would that get blocked?

I never get to join the FB groups...:o

Thanks Beccles. We'll soon grow our numbers when the website is lanched. Thanks hun !!

Not sure if the rules would allow it but could you not create a group on Facebook and post a link here.

Cheers - Joe

It's in the site FAQ's:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/forum-faqs

Why can't I give something to/buy something from someone on the forum?

The safety of our forum users is paramount and for this reason we can't allow anyone to exchange their personal details either on the open forum or via PM, however honourable the intention.

This means we don't allow selling/trading/exchanging/swapping or giving as gifts, nor links to your ebay auctions, or other forms of advertising.

Mr Shopper - there's a big section on company reps on there, which will answer your questions on what you can and can't post here.

Hello all

I am looking for some newbie advice. I have seen an audit posted on one of the MS sites and was wondering if I should give it a go. It is about 20 minutes drive away so a bit of a trek, but I was wondering if much experience is needed before carrying out an audit or will I be OK asa newbie.

Any help and comments appreciated.

Cheers - Joe

20 minutes drive is not 'a bit of a trek' in MS terms:eek:
I regularly do 50 miles and some people do hundreds on a 'route'
I wouldn't think audits are good to start with, as they tend to need a fair bit of detail, some can take an hour or so, some longer.
You need to work out how long would it realistically take, including completing and submitting the form, and the time travelling? Does it work out at a reasonable rate for the job?
Can you find a few more jobs nearby to go with it?

Thanks for that Serendipidty, it was not so much the travelling or time taken I was concerned about as I am looking to gain experience, I am just worried my lack of experience may make it difficult to complete the assignment. Estimated job time is between 1 and 1.5 hours.

Cheers - Joe

OOH
I think I know the one you mean now, loads of people dropped this job, I think there was confusion over the bays and shelves-look back on the thread -it was taking over 2 hours in store then ages to get the data in if I'm right.
Fortunately I didn't do this one
