    Those of us that do it for a living look for mileage etc. -- Remember to register with HRMC as you could end up with a tax bill fine if your caught :)


    I would register with HMRC.

    According to Google HRMC is Himley Road Methodist Church and I don't thing they are interested in whether you do MSing or not!

    Think I must have had my MYSTERIOUS SHOPPER sash on today. Did a carpet shop thing for RM and the assistant said and did everything she should have done! Then the assistant at the phone shop with GFK ticked all the boxes, as did the man shop with REACT's member of staff, and even the assistant at the health food shop with RE. Bloody hell. Top marks to all.

    The doughtnuts that RE do are opening a shop in Leeds and they were handing out a boxes 12 FREE doughnuts to all and sundry in Leeds City Centre. Woohoo!

    Lucky you! For the second day running I have staggered from one fiasco to another. What I really don't understand is why companies wish their stores to be mystery shopped in the middle of a refit when half the stock isn't available, half the shop is blocked off with tarpaulin, wires are hanging out the ceiling and someone is working away with a pneumatic drill and they you have to answer the question 'Was the store a clean and welcoming place to stop as the poor MOS is struggling to hear my enquiry and is choking on dust!

    Donuts? I'm moving to Leeds lol. Whatever happened to Dunkin' Donuts they used to be great.

    Lol snap! The woman in the top corridor that I spoke to was Diane Longridge. She was flabergasted when I told her that I wanted £200 compensation and a free HD box for the complete breakdown in communication and her organisations failure to deliver the service that I paid for. She eventually relented and gave me it though.

    Oh those waiting on holidays from RA, they have had a wee staff change someone from GFK has been hired and is looking after allocations. I am glad she was lovely at GFK!

    I know I got a few emails today about different projects -- first time in a long time since being registered with them...
  • Just wondered if anyone had received payment from Retail Active for pharmacy jobs last month? I did quite a lot on 19th/20th. I don't do a lot of work for them and wasn't sure when I'll be paid.

    My last 3 payments I have had from them were on the 7th/5th/7th of the month. I've had a payment for this month so it looks like it will be next month now unless they have 2 pay dates.
