Ha, ha, I'm not on the list and I spent ages trying to find out who took them off Bare, as I'd been climbing to the no. of jobs slowly and was nearly there when they disappeared.

No-one told me! :rotfl:

I remember them on Bare, obviously someone else has them now.
I wouldn't approach the company directly and ask to be put on the panel- and I respect that the company in question don't want panel members discussing the jobs, but I wonder if anyone can tell me who I should potentially take more lower paying, less complex work off, in order to gain a reputation with said company, and build up a relationship with them.....

Just reread the brief for ims sister, 7 hours at that rate? No likey!

had a mare with one of the fleece stores, manager said a member of staff from next aisle will help you, there was only one so I grabbed him, we checked sels and he scanned, then he got taken away, then manager told me I took the wrong person, he printed stuff for me and said they had 9 pallets, so no I couldnt have stock.

my normal golden bush store was easy, no stock in back, only took 1 set of pics

They did have one not too long ago, and it was for 2 people! Get a load of that if you will. Never seen them again mind, so not sure what happened there.

How come the GFK phone calls have dropped fees? I did get a call to do some, but I said no thanks.

PS. If RM don't call you, why don't you call them? I'm on 1 visit a week from them at the moment but I do tend to pester them a bit.

I went to the HMRC tax enquiry office today with my accounts to ask about these no fee, reimbursement only jobs and claiming the expenses incurred against the reimbursement received. The tax advisor said that it was OK to claim the amount of the expense against the reimbursement received but no further expenses can be claimed against the job such as travel, mileage or phone calls unless they were specifically reimbursed as well. He explained I cannot make a loss to offset against profit on other jobs.

However, as it's effectively voluntary work working for no fee, he also explained that I cannot use any of the hours spent on the job as part of a working tax credit claim. So I'll have to go back through my diary and zero out any hours spent on reimbursement only jobs.
