    I was at a dealership today and my comments were "I lost the will to buy a car and the will to live around 32 minutes into the visit" LOL I shall submit tomorrow when I can think of something more positive!


    You know its time to take a day off when....

    Sounds familiar! I've 3 more car reports to do tonight, and I just give up! Barely able to do a sentence, let alone a narrative, I'm so tired.

    My better half is away for work until next week. Obviously I miss him, but there's also a huge aspect of "Yay, no guilt for working at the weekend, and no snoring"

    I quite often get increased fees or mileage from most of the companies. Sometimes there's advantages to living in the middle of nowhere, I might be the only available shopper within 50 miles.

    In fact, that's my main tactic now. I leave a lot of jobs that I could quite easily do and wait for an increased offer. Some of the jobs vanish but I'm happy if I get a third of the jobs at three times the fee. Same money but less travelling, less costs, less reports.

    With RE, when there is an available job that has passed its due date, how do you manage to get it? I contact them but am always told someone else has got it - have they just emailed sooner than I did?

    Even got a trip to the coast with three different companies each paying me mileage. Nice when it works that way.
