Does anyone know if the internet phone calls for GFK are quite easy or not? They seem to keep popping up on my page. I have a feeling I may get a call about doing them today........

ESA payment pending for tomorrow. Woohoo!

The first one I did took a while but they got quicker once I was confident I knew what I was doing. Be prepared for follow up phone calls from the companies you are calling. They don't take "no" for an answer!

Sounds like too much hassle then. I like phone calls to be simple like BARE and REACT ones. I don't want no call backs! But thanks for the information dear.

Just got an email to say we don't need the fleece for today's visit.

I've got mine (large) and its HUGE lol.

Hoping someone can post or PM some info after doing the visit. I'm doing mine tonight and not entirely sure what I'm doing.

Still get the shivers remembering the crisps one from last year - it put me off so much I didn't do any more MS work for months!

ETA: even more confused after the latest email!

If you look at the data entry form, it does look to be fairly simple what you're looking for.

The email update just means that the range on Pg 4 of the brief should be slightly different. The 3 in green at the top of the table are just on a different offer, so you just have to check that as well, rather than them being on the same Save X promotion. Just a different yellow SEL to look for!

Oh and those of you who have got your fleeces, were they sent via Royal Mail, or a different company?!? Just wondering where I'll have to go and pick it up from if I'm not in and they have to leave a card! I love how the fleeces seem to have become the main aspect of this project!

N.I.M

Royal mail, thankfully my neighbour is retired so she takes in a LOT of packages I receive.

Thanks, I printed off the notes in black and white, need to print them off again in colour as I still have no idea what you mean.

By the way, I've often wondered over the years, what does SEL stand for?

Oh dear! That's probably quite important seeing as you have to check for several of them! It stands for Shelf Edge Label - ie the little price tickets along the shelves!!
Even if you have printed the notes in B&W, you should still be able to make out that the 3 at the top of the table are highlighted, it will just be in grey rather than green!?!

Thanks Monkeynut, I know what they are just not why they are called SELs lol.
