MS isnt a big money spinner mind, you work for what you earn but thats the joy of being self employed aint it?

Don’t quite agree with this, I make quite a bit from it, a living wage at least. It is a lot of hours for the money, but it works for me as I can fit it in with my caring duties and saves me from having to claim anything from the state.

The post is typical of someone who expected to earn a fortune and found they couldn’t. I like this sort of “try it once” type of shopper as they generally make a mess of it all and we end up getting a decent fee to re shop it. Let’s have more of them please

I think their spelling would have ensured they didn't get many more jobs anyway

What a total waste of time for money. If someone on here tells me they get loads of stuff for nothing, then I will have to doubt them.

If I felt I was being exploited I wouldn't do it. I make a reasonable amount for a spare time job that fits in with my day to day shopping etc, and as a bonus, I get days out and lovely meals in good restaurants and overnight stays in 4/5* hotels, that I wouldn't get otherwise. But I am quite selective and only take the cheap jobs if I can fit them in with other things. Plus I get lots of nice things to use as gifts etc.

I've been unclear, RE would have been all over me like a bad suit on that one

I meant its not gon a earn ya big (read 6 figures) money, but its good to top up a full time job on crap money or as a full time job providing flexability and an acceptable income.

Morning all

Can I check if you've received your Gap pay this month (for Oct visits), haven't seen if there's a delay and think I've been left out this month

Now over 2 years I had to go to a retailer and ask about fitness eqipment - the assistant saw me coming. Also had to go to level 4 and ask about digital cameras. The assistant could see me though.

If you don't agree, then you really are dolly dimple.

I'm going to have to conclude that you weren't very good at MSing...:cool:

I think you'd find if this wasn't an anon forum that quite a lot of us here are very highly educated and that the ones without formal education are bright and resourceful and we're all fully able to shop undetected.

We're also mostly signed up as self-employed and I'm certainly logging all my assignments for my Self Assessment Tax Return. I now make, on days I can be asked to work, more than I did in my "proper" job as a professional employed person. I like the fact if I can't be asked, I can stay in my bed, how good is that? :rotfl:

I had this one missed yesterday. It is ABAi, discussing prebooking of certain shops. They'll probably ring again today.

I should hope the assistant could see you coming, how could she serve you if she couldn't see you :rotfl:
