There are hundreds of MS companies out there though.....so just register with as many as you can - even all the USA based ones that have work in the UK.....and you never know what will come up! Every so often I'll get one in & think "don't remember registering with them"..... but I obviously did! :j

I've heard from two since Christmas that I registered with years ago.....a nice beauty treatment from one which I'm looking forward to....

I've never had haircuts or beauty, think they tend to be in England more than up here

Probably - people come and go on here as they decide it's not for them, or they only want to do it for so long to pay for a holiday/wedding/clear debts etc.

Also Jan and Feb is usually quiet as nothing really moves in retail as people are still skint from Christmas.

A lot think it's "easy money" then stop when they realise that it's not. Plus there is a certain standard required if you want to get the well paid assignments. None of it's rocket science but good English skills, observational skills and the ability to act without looking staged definitely help immensely.

On the subject of rubbish fees has the RE website died for everyone or just me?

CCA are great.....I do quite a varied selection with them - only every so often - but in several UK locations...one of my favourite companies. I've been into their office several times too & its nice to put faces to names!

Hi im sorry to be such a newbie but im really confused, i started doing mystery shopping about 8 months ago, ive only done 6 so my earning have been very low. I have registered as self employed and i have a exemption certificate thingy for ni, but i havent heard anything since. Do i need to do a self assesment? ive looked through all the forums and the direct.gov website but im still none the wiser! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I LOVE CCA I got a massage from them mmmm massage well n ot them personally but a spa!

I think personally people will keep with it until they get to the hotels see that its 12 pages of report... then figure out the "free" night is a lot of work!

Or when they get 10 queries from team Mel.

Im hoping my Girl Mel wont let me down lol and make sure the standards stick.
