    With REACT anything is possible. I work at a nursing home on the weekends. I wonder if I could borrow one of the inmates to do a Tern home visit for a couple of hours? I'll ask at work tomorrow.

    I've got 11 but one is a specialist invitation only client. Top secret ;)

    Thank you. Do you have to search for assignments separately with each client, or is there a hidden short cut?!

    The £6 fee I mentioned was not a real fee. It was hypothetical and meant as a joke. There is no Porche assignment with a £6 fee so relax. Quoting expensive jewellery doesn't give away who the client is or what you specifically have to buy. Its like saying you buy eggs from the egg shop.

    Point taken, maybe I am just slightly hacked off at the 2 financial visits that I had with TNS that is no more and were going to pay for the remainder of my summer holiday. By the sounds of it they have a very good idea who it is that has been blabbing.

    Personally I blame Ms Portas, I could vet money on it having been one of the many new people that have signed up. The number of redos I have been asked to do as the client has rejected the report since that series was on is much higher than it was before.

    I haven't seen the email yet, but from the gist I get from here is that someone (an MS'er) has told the client that they are bring MS'd - is that correct? TNS have then "pulled the plug" on any more visits?

    I do not know what the client was for TNS as all I ever see is supermarkets so I do not know the scale of things, however I am surprised if the client has pulled the plug after one person let on re them being MS'ed. I can not help but feel there might be a bit more to this but might be totally wrong.

    I don't think the visits were ever on the site. I got an email about an hour before the one everyone got sent saying that the visit had been pulled.

    It doesn't sound as straight forward as the shopper has simply revealed themselves and discussed the scenario. Would a client pull the plug simply for that?

    Well thank you. My husband says I'm lazy and do nothing all day! Nice to see someone recognise what I do. Yes, the nursing home is true. But its doing nails in the nursing home.
