I am a bit hesitant about applying for jobs from Bare considering they are behind with payments. What does everybody think?

Hi everyone

I have just registered with TNS and need to give them my bank details. The first thing on the form is NIN/PPS: What on earth does this mean?

I did my first mystery shop with gfk at the weekend. I really enjoyed it but I struggled taking the photo at the end. I just pretended that I was sending a text message but it felt as though the whole world and his mate knew what I was doing! haha

Many thanks in advance

NIN is your national insurance number I believe and the PPS is - I think - the Irish equivalent.

Me too! Perhaps we can negotiate a free drinks visit somewhere

Nice idea :beer:
I have one of those on Friday as it happens but that's the only day it can be done. Shame

I had my first weather postponement of the season today. It wasn't so much the snow as the other people driving amazingly slowly which meant I missed my time slot. Joy.

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

I got a whole load on Wednesday myself. Which pub we meeting in after?

Is there only me not in M/cr on Weds - would any of you like to drop some jobs so I can join the party

I was at the TC today, not MSing just Christmas shopping. Once you found a parking space the shops weren't too busy

Two visits tonight, one took 8 minutes, the other took 2 (drive through). So far the 8 minute visit has taken an entire episode of Gilmore Girls to write up! (RE) .. grr! I may have been a little bit distracted though. Done now, phew! Now to race through gapburger.

been to York today thats me done till after xmas its no fun now. my merchandising will keep me busy enough

Samtastic. I think thats really tight. Its not your fault its shut. I argued that with mileage and Parking I am way out of pocket. Had a refurbed shop for Checkout UK 2 weeks ago. They rescheduled and paid me for both visits.

Your right about MS'ing over xmas being no fun. I have now decided I will only do visits not in City Centre...or ones where I don't get locked in car parks..
