I did the green one today- should have been yesterday but I was running really late.
when I phoned yesterday to change I was told it could be today or tomorrow (Sun) I chose today as it fitted better.
So, take a chance, I'm sure you could redo it if not, which isn't too bad if you just spend the minimum!

Just done a chicken and chips one, yum!

I have a question, i only get money jobs on gfk, is this all there ever is? or will there evetually be more variety?

Thanks for the advice. I'm out and about tomorrow so will chance it then. Like you say, if I spend the minimum then I'm not really losing anything apart from my time. I'll just count it as a loss.

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?

If I was you, I would leave it, call them on Monday and explain that you could not do it and offer to do it this coming week and apologise for any inconvenience caused. GR tend to be very understanding. The guy who works there is really nice. If it's a 30 minute drive, I would not chance it. Mine was only 3 minutes down the road, so when I didn't get paid, I was not too bothered. If they say you can't do it next week, then at least you won't have a wasted journey if they do not pay you if you do it tomorrow.

There are other clients, but I dont see a big variety either. Off the top of my head there are phones and linen/homeware shops (I think these are regional). Also take a look at their homepage, I think they mention a couple of clients there. (I know of another but cant think of a way to describe it without giving the game away). They are also nearing the end of a large annual phone/email project. Make sure you update your census questions.

You make a very good point too Mimi. Oh, why cant I make a decision? I hate letting people down, and when I do it sends my brain into disrepair!!!!

GFK do have more variety, a lot of them seem to be for specific age groups. They do phone shops, historic attractions, tv shopping channels, small supermarkets and postal projects.
