I'm doing a Torso shop for RE and wondered if they recommend a couple of products and you buy them both, woudl they both be reimbursed up to the agreed limit - or would it just be the first item?

I was reccomended two items and i kindly said i would take the first and come back for the second after pay day lol (which i am actually going to do as the stuff is wounderful and sorted out my poor dry nose perfect). They won't give you any more than the reinbursment amount.

But, if your thinking they will give you two products and you accept both which make up the reinbursment good luck I don't think there is anything under £4 and thats a bar of soap lol

I am really angry, I did a hotel phone call for RE and the person who answered said 'reservations', so I reckoned he was from reservations rather than the hotel itself, he even promoted another HI nearby which had cheaper rooms left so again I knew he was from reservations. The proofreader has failed my report and I'm not getting paid because I did not ask if I was through to the hotel or reservations during the call. SO BEWARE

Yeah, I've not fallen into this particular trap myself although someone else did mention it to me. What makes it worse is on some of them you have to ask and some of them you don't and they are for the same client.

It's RE, try and work it out at your peril.

Have I gone bonkers, or does the coffee brief for react now not say what the product of the month is. How am I supposed to know what to look out for, especially if they don't offer in the shop. does anyone know what the product of the month is?

It was the 'Mixed Berry Muffin' when I did mine last month.

I was told to look in wicker baskets, then the one I went to had wicker baskets on every surface with all sorts of different things in them.

I have assumed that they want us to say exactly what is in the POM displays. My most recent report went through OK with this done.

If I saw multiple displays, I would assume that the display nearest to the till was POM (but mention the others, probably without product names if there were that many). There are usually two POMs (one morning and one afternoon, with an overlap allowed between the two time frames).

Total Tax profit for the tax year was £67.03 (I know this is a bit late, only just got my activation code from the stupid tax office)

It's telling me i don't owe a pennie. This can't be right? i work full time as well. Is there somewhere i was meant to say that?

My first one so a little confused.

Yes, there is a section where it asks you for your income from employment (PAYE). I think somewhere near the beginning it asks you if you are employed and if you are self employed. You have to tick both and then fill in both sections.

If you're using the HMRC website it should have an option to add 'employments' and that would be where you enter the details from your p60.
If I remember correctly the first page had a bunch of questions like 'were you employed in the year' or something similar and ticking yes gives you the extra page to enter your p60 details?
