    HI EV1 ,ALTHOUGH I AM NOT A MODERATOR (WE HAVE NEVER NEEDED ONE LOL OTHERS WOULD ARGUE) ON THIS THREAD I READ THE POST FROM POLLYANNA RE MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD AND THOUGHT I WOULD COPY THEIR RULE OVER WOULDN'T WANT THE THREAD REMOVED SO
    CONFIDENTIALITY is something MSers really need to bear in mind. Please don't mention fees or client names (naming the Mystery shopping company itself is fine!!) on this thread as neither the MSing company nor the client being shopped will be very happy about their names being discussed on here.
    E.g: Don’t mention “B&Q”, or refer to it as “The orange DIY store with two initials”. Simply refer to it as “A DIY store” as there are more than one DIY stores!

    The fundamental issue with this is that MSing is a very competitive business and if an MSing company finds out which company shops a particular client (and even for how much) then it puts that contract in jeopardy. This, therefore means that the competition between companies will always mean lower fees for us, the shopper.
    HOPE THIS HELPS WOULDNT WANT ANYONE TO LOSE REGULAR INCOME FROM THIS WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ALWAYS PM ANYONE WHO WANTS MORE DETAILS ELLY

    Morning everyone.

    Had too phone in to work today. Feel so poorly :(.

    Had a nice little surprise today tho, I complained to a department store just after Christmas and the woman dealing with it has been lovely. This morning there was a courier at my door with a parcel. Opened it and I have a 100ml bottle of Marc Jacobs perfume and a body lotion (RRP £75 odd :eek:) I love this perfume (well EDT) aswell :D

    This made me laugh!

    Well, as I mentioned before I was a complete e-bay & Ama*on virgin but have managed to load about 7 things to e-bay at the weekend. When I looked last night I had a few watchers but no bids but did have a query about a dolls house that I had put as collection only but also had a £4.95 postage cost. I couldn't work out how to get rid of the pstage bit & it wouldn't accept £0 as an amount! Hey ho, even if I don't sell any of these things, at least I have an idea now to upload the photo & list things!

    Money wise, I have £5.50 for an unwanted xmas present that I unfortunately did not have the receipt for (or would have got double that). OH did some overtime last night but wont include that until payday. Oh yes, nearly forgot, I had a credit to my bank account of £22.11 for a credit card that I haven't used for ages which to my surprise had this as a credit balance when I closed the account a few days ago. So thats me up to a grand total of £87.61 so far! Hardly anything but certainly better than nothing!

    Morning all. Received a Phillips BluLite SAD light from Bzz this morning ( I know they won't mind me mentioning it, as they actively encourage you to talk to people about the products you receive). Going to trial it for my OH who suffers a bit from SAD & if he doesn't want it, it will go on eBay. Looks a neat bit of kit, actually & portable, so ideal for him to take to work. He leaves the house at silly o'clock when it's dark & returns at around 8pm, when it's dark again, so this could be good for him to use. We shall see.
    Have a couple of items listed on eBay, but no watchers / bids yet. Still 5 days to go though. Haven't managed to put any of the DVDs on yet as am dealing with an active toddler, a poorly 5 year old & I don't feel totally great myself. LOL. Just think of all the petrol I'm saving not doing the school run twice a day!
    Cooked a slow cook beef stew yesterday & there's still plenty left for today, so don't have to fuss about cooking tea, which will be handy.
    Need to nip to the library today or tomorrow to return a DVD. Hopefully DD will be well enough to venture into the village.
    Otherwise, I shall just chalk this one up to an NSD.
    I've got lots of baby products to sell, too. A travel cot, a foldable Samsonite baby bassinet, walker & highchair that my son has now outgrown & is just taking up space in the garage. Might list them on Turbo Lister (will need to download that) and then get them listed.
    Hope everyone else is having a productive day!
