It's not your phone that's the problem, it's the RE website which blocks the standard internet browser you get on mobile phones, only way round it is to download another internet browser. I find Opera Mini works for RE on my HTC.

I use my standard browser on my HTC desire????

I've used a bb bold, a bb torch, an htc desire and a nokia x6 and I still can't log into REs website. Can anyone give me any tips? I'm not a complete technophobe, and I can follow instructions, what concerns me is changing a setting without knowing what I'm doing and completely messing up t phone so any help is appreciated

What happens at the moment is that I go to the home page, enter my details, click login and it takes me back to the home page. I've tried finding alternate login pages on google but it does the same thing. Does it have something to do with my security settings?

I had this problem on the iPhone a few months back after they updated something. If you do a search for 'retail eyes login' and select the 2nd finding it will take you to an old version of the RE site and you should be able to login from there. I am sure once I had done that I could login no problem using the normal page.

Not directly related to mystery shopping but just wondering if anyone knew about tax etc.

I am self employed to do mystery shopping and started doing Avon at the beginning of this year. I have 6 weeks temporary work coming up for the Census. I was thinking I probably still won't earn £5000 overall in the tax year, especially as the Census work is part in this tax year and part next. But it suddenly struck me that it is a second job. So will I have to pay tax on the census job? How will it work?

You only pay tax once you earn over the threshold (which goes up next year). This is the case whether it's a PAYE or SE work. The census might take tax off you directly but when you input this into your tax return next year it will do the calculations and give you a rebate if you're due. Alternatively you can contact census and stop them taking tax.

Obviously if you already have a PAYE job that you pay tax on then yes you'll be paying tax on both the census work and your SE profit.

It's that time of the weekend where all the RE jobs that were due this weekend end up back on the job board!! So if I really wanted to I could have placed a bet, gone out for a pub meal and finished it off with some cookies.

I agree..I was actually in one of the egg shops and I did think to myself I could be MSìng this. Lo and behold when I got home it had magically reappeared on the available jobs cos someone must`ve dropped it! It was the same with an RE pub job, I walked past the door...could have done that one too! :mad:

I did that as well. Does that mean I will never see the client again?

Has anyone managed to get the right combination to qualify for the new DIY client at Gap? I regularly visit the said store anyway and am really keen to get it right. Any ideas?
