    Just had my first proof reading query from RE and not happy! SEVEN queries - all of which were questions that just needed a yes/no and no further comments and their asking for more information - idiots!

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, they get us all eventually. I was asked 4 times (on the one job) how it made me feel even though this was not posed on any of the yellow stickies for the job.

    What am I not seeing about the GfK banks that have been sitting there forever??
    There's a couple local to me but I can't do them as would have to have my son with me as the times they have to be done I'm not able to get someone to watch him, and you can't take children with you on them.

    I'm tempted to do one though as there is one very local to where I live, and where my parents live, so am thinking of asking my mum to take my son for a wonder round the shops while I do it.
    I've read the notes and it doesn't sound too complicated or anything, but I'm feeling there must be something I'm missing as they have been there for so long untouched?!?

    I'm such an idiot - I was sat here thinking "what egg shops? I've just got loads of general food shops coming up". Then I read the assessment properly. Gah, I feel a fool - I could have sworn I read it before applying for the shop, but I obviously didn't. I usually re-read them several times before applying, I must have had a daft minute. I have four, one is in walking distance, so I don't mind doing it, as it is a shop I go in almost daily anyway and I have kids who like scrambled eggs :) , but will I get in trouble for dropping the other three? I enjoyed the window audit I did for the same company, so don't really want to get chucked off the books, but that is a very indepth assessment with no reinbursement.
    Goal = £9,000 in 2011, starting in March
    Current total - £779 banked by 09/04/11
    Also growing, scrimping and crafting to not need as much in the first place!

    The way some egg shops have been coming and going in my area I dont think they'll be surprised. I have cancelled some jobs with ESA before and had no problems. They do ask for a reason why, so it could be your chance to say the fee isnt really worth it...:D
