You're on it!

The others are

MysteryShoppersUK

The Office

But TBHO they are very quiet re msytery shopping, just a load of women gossipping :cool:


MSE is now the best IMHO.

Couldn't agree more. There is quite a nasty post on MSUK right now implying that all the newbies on here are only in it for a quick buck and don't pay tax!:eek: This is defintely the friendliest, most helpful forum.
Bungalow Joe, nice forum layout, I like it. Just needs to be busier and as Blindman says, is there room for another ms forum? We will see.

The Gap thread in MSUK is well worth reading and posting on as there seems to be a rather helpful gap guy there who seems to be sticking with it and looking into people's problems. (unlike a simlar RE thread on there several months ago). I have not been able to get on to the Office forum as they seem to be having real problems with the hosting of the site. As mentioned already this forum is easily the busiest, if not arranged all that helpfully for searching etc. It has also improved beyond recognition in the last year or so in the friendlyness stakes!

IIRC it is by bank transfer. It took months for me, had to chase them up numerous times but I did get it in the end. I think the reasons for the delays were genuine though and they were very apologetic.:)

Ooh, I was about to say that I thought i'd received payment from SS by cheque....
That was about 10 months ago though so it may have changed (Or my brain is playing tricks on me.)

Wow you're right! I know we've been accused of being a clique before but it's nothing compared to the feeling I get on that forum! It's amazing that people can be so negative toward this thread, but I bet they're all signed up to get the alerts posted here!

Ah well, let's not be b*tchy like them and keep things positive!

HELP!! I'm trying to input a job I did for PiP and it's one where you're timed out after an hour. I've finished it but I can't submit it and there's no indication of what might be wrong. You have to write 1250 words at least in the final section and I've done a word count so I know it's not that. Any ideas anybody? It's driving me crazy....can't input my next one til this one's gone! It's a diy store....

Got my first BARE exam job next week, anyone got any tips?

kessik

Don't worry, I've found where I'd missed an answer. Just a brainstorm.....

Listen to what the invigilator tells you when you get there, make sure you get there early - nobody else can start until everyone is there. Do your best! Although it says in the brief something like 'you probably won't pass' there's no reason to think you won't. I did! Just don't get vibed out by it.

Uh oh I've got three of those to write up later tonight. My current status: 4 reports down, 7 to go...
