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.

I took one of the green supermarket jobs, and the 3 days offered were yesterday, today or tomorrow. I did it yesterday, but tomorrow was definately on offer.

Hi doll. The one I did was for last Fri, Sat, Sun or this Fri. I did it on Saturday last week.

Anyway, good luck Dotty. You are not letting them down if you don't do it. Just explain it to them. Most MS companies are very understanding. Loads of love x x

At the top left (under status) there is a drop down box with a choice of any, active or finished. You need to ensure it's set to any, rather than active, to see all the jobs.

Thank you

I hadn't noticed the drop down menu.

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.

Oh yeh, forgot about the historic attractions and the postal projects. Never seen a small supremarket though!

They do 2 sets of small supermarkets, mainly in rural-ish areas. They also to a digital telly provider and some tv shops. There is a phone shop type of visit, and then mobile phone producing company visits too. They also do a wide variety of phone calls and pharmacy audits too.

Just looked at that am totallu confused with the tax and NI thing tho

Advice on tax and NI would be greatly appreciated? Ive joined gapbusted do you have to get 100% on the orientation

EUGH!

Have just done a petrol visit for React.

Address said it was on a major road. Address postcode sent me to minor road close to the major road. No petrol station on the minor road, but 2 with the wrong postcode on the major road. By looking at the map, I think I chose the right one on the major road - the road name on receipt is the same, but company owning the franchise is different and obviously, the postcode is different!

What a palaver!

What aren't you sure about? The general gist is that you have to register with hmrc as self employed, do a tax return every year and pay tax on any profit that you make. NI payments will depend on your personal circumstances and whether you pay NI through any other means.

And yes. 100% needed on gap tests. I think you get 3 goes.
