    I'm more or less finished for the year. I have my presents 99% bought and wrapped. I will be avoiding the shops as much as possible now as I hate the crowds and the queues. Only MSing I have lined up is one to a frozen shop where I will get in some stuff for Christmas and one to a quick supermarket coming home the morning after a night out. The fee will go towards my cheapie travelodge hotel room.

    Of course if I get offered double/triple fees this could all change but I'm quite happy to be sitting back with no hassle. Just a lazy !!!!!! at heart.

    I told a MS company this week that they literally could not pay me enough money to get me to go to a certain Swedish shop on a weekend. Life's too short to deal with that hell on earth. It wasn't strictly true - I'd go for 3 figures. If I was having a quiet month!

    Unfortunately I'm having a quiet month. My other job is ticking along nicely though.

    I went from having a few jobs to it being so silly I had to take a day off normal work to complete the jobs yesterday. It is that mentality of accepting the jobs because I am afraid they will not come around again! However I have set my cut off date as 14th December. I am so busy at my normal job that I realise that trying to cram too many jobs is no good for my stress levels or for the company!
    by god thats sound like me. lol its addicting seeing how much we can cram in and i love watching the pennies trickle in...

    Well, bye bye Retail Eye. I no longer require your services. You were a good tool for introducing me to MSing, and I appreciate the experience you've given me.
    But your reports are rediculously long, your fees are disgraceful and the monkeys you use in the Proof Reading Department are so very, very annoying.

    Adios d!ck heads.

    I think thats a newbie thing, I did too when I started, but youll soon realise there are more important things in life, like your time, and that pennies are not enough;)

    ha ha my mistake sorry, from some of your recent questions i assumed you were, you should have learnt better by now then that your time is valuable and as much as i was exactly the same, saying no to a job is the best thing ive learnt to do ;)

    Have retaileyes gone soft? I dont usually do anything for them but have done 5 this week as they were all fee only electrical jobs and fit in with other stuff. All reports were passed within 24 hours and no queries!
