Awww flower. I seem to be picking up new ones every week. I get phone calls too asking me to do more, but I just can't fit anymore in, what with my busy schedule and what not. :D Where are you based?

Now you are just teasing! ;)

No seriously. I have to not pick them up. They have some very posh fine dining visits (think expensive clothes in Leeds/Edinburgh/London/Manchester, that store's cafe) regularly available, but I just don't have time.

Mind you, it's working for the said company is not all that. Some of the reports can be very long and time consuming, and they do pay about 5 to 6 weeks after the visit has been accepted.

Ooh, might have to head over to the west then and treat my mum. Fancy a day out in Leeds shopping soon.....

Or do you have to be platinum to see these?

I have various cities set in most of my MS profiles, as I travel around a fair bit.

Pet, I didn't get sent one back then, in fact, I am not too sure I even got paid. Will have to check my bank statement.

Well if you did get paid but didn't get the advice at the time, i reckon they're just playing catch-up.

Here's a novel idea; why not ring them and ask !!!!!! is going on?!

How long does it normally take for GFK payment to clear ?. Its showing on my details page as a payment made on 10th August but its not showing in my bank yet. Also is there anyway of telling how much they have paid you ?.
Tried to email but no reply yet.

I would deffo contact them - mine shows as paid on 10th, both on the website and in my bank (hooray!).

I think I've visited Leeds maybe 3 times in my life, so it's unlikely tbh, but thanks for the offer! :beer:

EDIT: 5 times; I did some MS jobs there about 18 months ago.

Egg shop fees down AGAIN - this really p*ss*s me off. I can't find any regular work, live in a very rural area, so MSing is all I can do at the moment. I pay all the bills, work my b*tt off, take all viable work and do the best job I can do, and the pay goes down while the fuel costs - and every other cost - go up. How would employees cope with pay cuts like this? So why should self employed people accept them? Aaaaaarrrrrrrghghghghgh. Sorry for the rant, but I am really beginning to get worried about how we are going to cope through the winter at this rate.
