Hmmm, I'm on a diet that consists of only eating food I can get from Mystery shopping. Looking at the next month I have 3 Italians, 1 tapas, 1 fish and chips, 1 unspecified breakfast and lunch, 2 Pizza delivery and around 20 small supermarkets :eek:

Thinking I need to get me a gym assignment soon :rotfl:

Wow! I quite like the sound of MS Diet!

Certainly makes life cheaper (if not healthier). And I have lots of friends all of a sudden

Sorry I thought I was being helpful...

It wasn't a dig at you - you very kindly answered a question that should not have been asked...

Just recently there have been so many new MS'ers on here and most of the questions they've asked have been answered on the first page of the thread, or could have been answered by careful reading of their job notes...!

Well after speaking to someone at RE,they said the influx isn't always a good thing they are telling certain people after their first job services no longer needed as the reports are AWEFUL.

well there is hope!

Hmmm, I thought everybody's reports for RE were awful? What's the criteria, 20 proofreading points instead of the usual 5?

LOL. That's funny. I'm not going to worry about the influx of shoppers on RE. They won't last. I bet that programme made it sound like a doddle, but it's not. You have to do lengthy reports and be able to remember things at the drop of a hat. Has anyone had any phone calls from RE where they expect you to remember if the server had light brown or dark brown hair a month after you visited, and they want the answer there and then.

Snap, my excuse is that it's half term and I would be driving to Chessington anyway so this way I can drive up the night before and miss all the stoopid queues without having to get up stupidly early, and then instead of having to go back we can just drive along the m25 a few miles and sleep and go back in the morning (also free food is an incentive)

I'm a bit that way too. The only holidays I got last year were a weekend with the in-laws and week volunteering at a summer camp. Trust me when I say running a kitchen, in a tent, feeding 180 isn't that relaxing. So a night in Edinburgh, and one near the seaside would be quite welcome - even if they do cost me £30 each I can ill afford. If I can't have a holiday I can at least get out of town for a night or two.

Oooooh. You could be crafty and pick a REACT tourist attraction and mix it up with a hotel visit for MDC (if the dates are matching) and have a funky day out with the other half and the kids.

Hi Guys,

I haven't done much MS in the last 18 months because of ill health but I have been following the thread with interest. Please can I come back? . I am hoping to be able to start MS again properly from Feb.

Like you Weeg, I have just picked up two of the overnight stays to boost me up from silver. I used to do one a month for TMDC but once the FFF started, I haven't got a look in . Luckily the two I have booked a really close to home so won't be out of pocket.

Looks like it may be a common theme, a cookie job has just made it's way back onto RE that was due on the 29th. About enough time for it to be proofread and put back on there!
