I will either convert them into restaurant or jewellery vouchers before I do that. They fetch the biggest profits. :rotfl::rotfl:

But if you wait a bit longer there is a promo on in late Jan-

From 26 January to 31 March, 250 Clubcard points will be worth 1,000 Avios miles rather than the usual 600 Avios.

From what I understand, it will still be a good scheme if you use the miles for trips within Europe.


On another note, has anyone had a payment from GR in the last few days? I was expecting a payment for a few jobs on or around 15th which hasn't changed to 'paid' within my completed jobs. Had a prompt payment on the 1st, but it says they pay twice a month. Is this normal or should I contact them?

I haven't received any payment either. Think it's meant to be the 12th working day of the month which would have been wednesday if I calculated correctly. Shame, as I could do with the money for the xmas shopping trip this weekend!

They always pay on the 15th working day and the first working day. The 15th working day is next Monday so should be in your account a few days after that.

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement so far! I'm taking it all on board.

It's the 1st working day and the 15th working day. Was working out when that would be for this month and think the 21st. Not sure when their cut off is though so for jobs I did earlier this month not sure when I will get paid as looking back at old jobs it isn't entirely consistent. At least if I don't get paid next week it isn't long until 1st working day of the month the week after

I've watched 14 sets of ads and trailers at the pics this weekend.

And now I feel the urge to go out and buy a Muller yoghurt, a bag of Haribo, a HTC Sensation XL or a Nokia Lumia, Beyonce's new perfume, some McCain oven chips, some Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Coke, Fanta, Need for Speed 7 and some Bodyform towels.

I hope the fee covers it

Oh my GOSH! I was expecting two screens, I got there and there was 5! 5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm, 6.30pm, 7pm. I was prepared to kill myself, or kill someone for Nina Ricci's new fragrance by the end of it. Oh my gosh.


In other news, arrived at GFK phone shop for the job this afternoon to a sign on the door saying it was closed early today. The badgers. I emailed them, is there is a set closed shop reporting procedure with them? Sigh. I'd spent ages reading through the instructions as well AND checked the opening hours online today.

Aye, that's how it went for me. Out of one and into the other for three hours. It was a very popular film too. I had to stand at the back for a few of them.

Seen the funniest thing ever though when a woman jumped up screaming, and when we all turned to look at the commotion everyone saw she'd spilt a massive Slush Puppy all over herself. She was covered in the stuff.
