I couldn't be bothered to find the mysterious IBAN (IBIN? whatevs) number thingy, so I put my PayPal address... it doesn't appear to charge a fee to receive the money and of course it's free to transfer to bank account, or buy other things with it.

Does anyone else do that? Don't have to worry about bank charges then.

The Paypal exchange rate is pants so I won't do it.

They've done them before; I had one of them over the Summer there. The usual RE type of assignment; if you don't get the person to note down the details exactly the way they want, you'll spend the next week fighting a proof reader.

Have one of each in the area at the moment but the scenarios aren't really compatible and even if they were I wouldn't take the RE one as I just won't do assignments for that client any more due to the proof readers.

Also the ESA final date is 3 days before the RE first one.

The camera shop will do a print out with the spec of the camera without any fuss, got offered one without asking last time for an ESA visit and the staff wear name badges so it's not as bad as it could be.

N.I.M

I'd do it if the two could be done as part of one visit but the fee's aint worth it on their own and it'd be rather convoluted to try n link the two scenarios.

MysteryMe

Yeah, you'd have to be a really keen photographer to want two cameras and have a split personality to be a novice and expert at the same time :rotfl:

Oh but I'm awesome, I could do it without any issue. I got one of those red flashy light pens like they had in Men in Black

That's what I was told by my bank, but I don't have paper statements anymore as I check things online, so they wrote it down for me. Mind you, since then they've now closed down my bank. I then knew why it wasn't coming up on the rotations. I had spent six months thinking other people were a lot quicker at picking it up than me.

mines printed on the bottom of my online statements and on the account info section of the webpage



On a separate note

if any one doing the gfk tech audits next week, usually does the BR postcode, check your allocations, as i seem to have been given one by mistake and I am missing one of my usuals so an obvious mistake as its no where near me and not one ive done before.

Ive let the allocator know but she wont pick up emails till monday morning so she will remove from me and probably allocate to the previous person.

Hahaha I do them ONLY if there is nothing else! so you can keep them.

Even buying fuel i would still avoid them, I hate the ABA-i reports, mind you I have only ever done one of them and that was enough.

How can you tell which scenario is sandwich when looking at the jobs, fuel would be good on its own, but I did a sandwich plus the extras once and found it a waste of time as I was buying the food when I did not need it.

Fr the fuel ones you have to visit 2 garages, one is a competitor. It shows two addresses on the details when you click on it and the fee is 50% more.

I won't do the sandwich ones. No need for a sandwich, but plenty of need for fuel!
