  • Just a quick update - all was well at work yesterday. Busy as I was the only one on the sales line - this is to give me experience and let me build my speed up. The time went so fast.
    Mystery shop company is late (yet again) with last months payment. That is the last time I am doing any assignments for them. All the extra bits of income aren't so neccessary now I have full time hours. I have stopped doing surveys as well. Vivatic have moved their payment system to only paying out when you have completed £25 worth of surveys, instead of £10, and that is taking it too far. It will take forever to do that many.
    So, all continues to improve - I am looking forward to choosing my new paint at the weekend.
    Have a good day everyone,
    Hugs

    Time going fast at work sounds like a step in the right direction!

    I see what you mean about the Mystery Shopping and the surveys - neither of those scenarios seems like good use of your time and energy now you have F/T hours. I am sure other things will come to fill the time! ;)

    Have a good day today.

    I am glad that things are picking up for you SA. You sound a lot more positive and it certainly sounds as though vinegar t*ts has been spoken to.

    Maybe you are right about the HA thing - some folks can be quite manipulative especially when they are trying to oust someone. Something similar happened in my mum's village - an incomer wanted to set up a parish council (he saw it as a means of being paid extra money) so mum and others in the village who didnt want the parish council got elected onto what became the anti-parish council. They never drew any money from the villagers and in the end had to go to the High Court to get the parish council overturned, now the village doesnt have one and the incomer who tried so desperately hard to get elected at election times and never got in has moved away in a huff. Similar but not the same and certainly brings a smile to the face when the underdog wins.

    You sound much brighter too which is a good thing, please give MrT a pat from me. Have a great day.
