    Just started MSing, was using my mobile but yesterday I had a call and lost my timings. Can anyone recommend a good model that does split timings?

    I use an app on my iphone, but I used to use a sports timer that had split laps that I got from JJB sports for about £5.

    Do you just use the stopwatch on the iphone clock, or an actual app?
    I just use the i-phine clock, but I did wonder if there was a good app.

    I downloaded an app called RunKeeper Free. It does the job well.

    Sorry, that's not my stopwatch app, that's my GPS running app!

    The one you want is Anycourse Stopwatch lite for the free version.

    Does anyone get rejected for jobs with Gap for no obvious reason after they have selected them?

    Yeh it's quite common. Usual reasons are that you're not "valid" to complete the jobs due to their rotation rules. E.g no more than x assignments per month, you can't do 2 in a row, more than 33% of all assignments per year.

    So if it's a place you go to regularly or shopped recently that might be why. Another one is that some of them say they can't be shopped within 2 days of another shop, e.g if I'm going today, then you can't go tomorrow.

    Hi all... long time no see, been AWOL from this thread for ages!

    Anyway, sorry to pop up just when I need help, but is anyone doing the GfK job for the shopping people... you know where you have to phone up and order and then return the item?

    Bit puzzled by some discrepancies in the job notes. Can anyone help please?

    I've done a few of those, not sure if I can help, but feel free to ask.
