    I very very rarely see anything on GR anyway. As in one job in two months, and usually it's already gone by the time I see it.

    I do sometimes catch things on RE, but not after an alert. At the moment all I see on there are pharmacies, but in the last couple of weeks I've seen a book shop, sandwiches, a clothes shop, a mucky pub (where I'm going for my Sunday lunch tomorrow :D), and a Mexican place.

    When people alert about GR and RE jobs, does anyone actually see them? I ain't seen jack on GR for at least a week, and the only thing that RE put on is the nasty pubs, not any bookshops or kitchen places or chicken etc!

    I agree about GR only seen 2 supermarket jobs in 6 weeks nothing else. RE had a few bookshops and chicken this week as I got one of each. Been quiet last few days on there though.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    Gap will only let me self allocate 2 jobs a month at the moment until i have been with them for 3 months. Annoying as there are loads on there in my area. I must be the only MS around here. But last month they phoned me to complete a few on the same day and luckily very close together and they trippled the fee. Hopefully they will do the same again this month as the same ones have been on there for ages and will be closing Monday.
    I get loads of emails from GR but they are always gone when i login.
    So far this month ive had the most work from PIP and GFK.
    I usually get around 8 a week from RE if im up very early though to grab them.

    I have a GR supermarket to do today, but I would rather do it tomorrow due to personal circumstances. Do you think it will be okay to do tomorrow, and then speak to them on Monday to alter dates, prior to inputting results? Also, the job has to be done over the weekend, but how do I tell if tomorrow is an option (they sometimes leave days out). Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Was tomorrow a day that it could be done? I once did what you did, but "tomorrow" was not allowed and I ended up not getting paid for it. Mine was for a supermarket!

    On my brief it says Fri, Sat or Sun, but the Sun could have been last week (or even next week?!). I dont know what to do now. Its about 30 mins drive away, and I cant really afford to not get paid. If it were you, would you leave it until you can speak to someone, or would you chance it tomorrow?
