    Aaargh, made my first mistake yesterday and missed an instruction about a minimum spend in a specific area, so probably won't get paid. At least it was in a shop where I was buying stuff I needed anyway, I suppose. Can't believe I missed something so obvious though! Grrrr.

    I suppose it's not too bad, after about 30 jobs. Has everyone else done something daft like this at some point? (please, someone lie and tell me it happens all the time, so I don't feel quite such an idiot :D)

    I forgot to take a picture of a sandwich last week before i ate it :mad:. Also underspent without realising on a Pizza job as i didnt realise there was an offer on. We learn from these things tho
  • Yep - just yesterday I forgot to take a picture of a shop as I was leaving it as I was in a rush to get to a focus group. Didn't realise until I got home and was doing the report *d'oh* ... swinging by there on my way home tonight to get the picture, thankfully that is fine with them.

    Does anyone else find a good MS experience actually serves to promote the brand for themselves as well and they end up going there more?

    Yes, definitely. I've discovered a few shops and restaurants that I wouldn't have normally gone into if it wasn't for the MS.

    I've done plastic surgery on a fried bit of fish, as I forgot to take a pic prior to stabbing it with knife and fork.
  • I forgot to take a photo of a digital TV stand, so thought I would just send a random photo so that I could submit the report and go and take the photo the following day. I uploaded a picture of a box of pills; never even got a query for it?

    I tried that trick on an assignment last week but didn't get away with it!
  • I've just signed up to eDig because of you lot talking about it. :) Can anyone tell me a bit more about what's involved in their surveys? I've signed the agreement and sent it off, just got an email from them asking me to do an assessment.

    I absolutely hate clothes shopping as I'm a hourglass shaped and most clothes these days seem to be designed for apple shaped people as they're too big for me on the waist. I've found stuff in the Abai invite only store fits me great and they have some really nice stuff in. For some reason I thought it was a shop for old ladies so I'd never really looked at the clothes in there before, or maybe I'm just getting old now :rotfl:

    Lovely day today shopping posh cosmetic counters and being pampered with a free makeover. Wish everyday was as good as that :D
    Here I go again on my own....
