    unless you want to do about 15 in one day and frazzle ya brain. lol

    Even that wouldn't work, as to get 15 a day you'd have to travel large distances and then take off the petrol/public transport costs. And to do 15 a day everyday you'd have to travel to the other side of the country for jobs, and I can't see anyone fitting 15 jobs a day in with all that travel time, or making a profit with all that petrol/train fares etc.

    ....... the strangest things???:rotfl:

    Yonk is right: some of us do cram in the jobs to make a "sort of" living out of MSing and allied work. It can be done, but it isn't always easy.

    Yes, it's acting strange for me too. It can't find the next page on each report I'm trying to write. I keep refreshing and it does find it eventually. I hope it's still saving it. Glad it isn't just me.

    Getting worse, filled in the same page three times now.

    I've just had a couple of days off work and on Monday I broke my record and did 18 visits and yesterday a mere 16 with all reports easily done by midnight. All FFF. Both days were done in 2 adjacent towns (as in ones that kind of merge rather than any real drive away) except for the coffee shop bribe which was too good to turn down yesterday and I was in need of the sit down & drink at the end of the day! They were all quick easy reports, so I couldn't do that many for some if the visit I do.

    Got paid by GFK today :)

    But just checked RE and the payment that was due today now says due 10th June :( Wonder why it's moved.

    Same here. RE sometimes do that and then pay you a day or two later and the amount goes down. I was hoping for my almost £100 quid today, oh well. I'm still owed a fair bit by RM, BARE and ABAI. Lots of paydays. Woohoo.

    Can someone who is doing TNS PHONES pm me? I have a question or two. Thanks x x
