    Im a bit confused that the prices on internet are lower than in shop. Was very expensive for what I got. Hopefully will get back on ebay. Already got 3 watchers.

    Depends on what you got luv. I had a look at charm bracelets on eBay yesterday, there were only 9. Today, there has been a massive increase in them. Hope you manage to sell yours.

    What happened luv? I actually thought about you today. I was in the same shopping centre as you doing my REACT coffee. We should have linked up!

    Also, has anyone actually managed to get a discount doing one of the jewellery stores? It's highly embarrassing asking for it though cos you come across a complete joke! Thing that I got today has gone up by 15% in price since last time. !!!!!!!

    Well, the staff offered no help, just stared at me blankly. A member of staff approached and sadi 'looks like your struggling' to which i replied yes and he then walked off.

    The staff just shoved a tray in front or me and stared into space! Felt so unconfortable

    best bit, they slagged of the company saying they were bad to get stuff from, sent the wrong items and there was loads in the back but they haven't done a stock take yet so there not in the shop (how bloody helpful)

    MIMI1234 - Class this as an official telling off. I was at that coffee shop! (service was crap, what about yours lol was stood there thinking, they must get a bad ms report) and, how dare you not mention going there when I said i was. Bad Mimi1234!!!!!!!!
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

  • Oh dear
    Did a chicken shop today at a really good fee as last minute job for Gap. Got home only to realise I left the receipt on the tray!! There are no other dates available for me to reshop. I only took the bloomin job cos I was in that area, plus it was an awful visit.... Have emailed and explained.
    Even us old timers make stupid mistakes.

    You have my sympathy, squeaky!

    I left a business card behind on a consultant's desk on Tuesday ... thank heavens I had done a similar visit to the same place about a year ago!

    On another job last week, I didn't notice immediately that I had not been given the receipt. All was not lost, though. I realised before I left, and they managed to reprint (the original was long gone, into the bin with slops and all sorts)

    I did a job on Friday at a place where they AlWAYS put the receipt in the bag with the purchases. Well, that now has to be ALMOST always! My routine is to check the receipt time against my stopwatch timings before I go on to the next job. I unpacked the bag on the pavement some distance away, but there was no sign of a receipt. I then unpacked my handbag (in case I'd had a senior moment and the receipt had been handed to me). I went back to the shop and the SA retrieved my receipt from the bin, with about three others attached to it. Note to self: never assume!

    TNS adhoc

    I read it as one of the four rotating departments, plus enquiries in all the others. Cor, blimey! That looks like a total of ten enquiries in the store I'm doing. Someone, please tell me I'm wrong! There's a three hour limit in the car park .......

    Is anybody else getting fed up with the emails from RE this morning about the pub jobs that have been available for weeks? So far I have had 10 and feel like emailing back and saying "Up the reimbursement to a reasonable amount, pay a fee to cover travel and don't expect me to take a photo, as well as fill in a lengthy report, and I might take one!".

    RE like me more than they like you, squidge. I've had 15 emails today!:D

    Have their 10,000 new shoppers had these emails, I wonder???
