    My shopper log specifically says "At the end of the visit, you must make a purchase that will be reimbursed up to X euros." Should be interesting - on my job I bought stuff which was over the stated Euro reimbursement (after exchange rate), but under the reimbursement if they decide it's GBP.
  • So your not on strike then.....was begining to wonder! Did you pick up any of the beauty jobs off ESA?, they seemed about the best jobs I have seen for a while.

    No! Never showed up for me. I may have been too slow and missed them. I only did one small fee only paying one at the posh yellow dept store yesterday as I was in there shopping anyway.

    Anyone ever not been able to do a job due to utter lack of staff availability. I was in a store for nearly an hour all told and not a staff member in sight, and the cashiers were bl00dy useless.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Yes NIM, that sounds like my day! Saw many very young (or am I just very old?!!) cashiers in civvies - jeans and a hoodie on the tills in one supermarket! I waited 40 minutes in that supermarket to make my enquiry and another 29 minutes in another shop. Oh, and I spent ages waiting to get into the car park for a burger!

    I was out shopping yesterday too and have found that its gone mental already, the crowds were like Christmas Eve. Think I will stop MSing a little earlier this year and try and get all my own stuff done ASAP.

    I made the mistake of going in to Manchester yesterday, I decided I would beat the queues and get there before it all opened. The only problem was everyone else did the same! It was utter mayhem. Luckily I only had 4 shops to do so got out as quickly as possible. Got to go back in on Wednesday but with a lot more shops, I really hope its not as bad :(

  • Woke up to about an inch of snow this morning - not a happy bunny :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Not enough to stop me getting to work, but enough to annoy me....

    No snow here but some of my boys friends in villages higher up texted to say they had snow. I'm heading up that way today.

    I bought a sledge yesterday though :D
    Here I go again on my own....
