Work nightshift! Shop all day, write the reports up during the evening and work all night.

I've done 22 in the one day before and in the run up to Christmas last year I done 105 visits in the one week between merch, ms and audit - and worked 44 hours. Not for the faint hearted.

22 is so much, I have done 7/8 a couple of times and it was quite difficult, especially doing the reports by midnight. If the reports are long like Tern ones, I would not do more than 3 of these a day, but I could probably do 22 gap burgers but then I would probably die eating too much junk food in one day.

Probably an obvious question but want to make sure anyhow. If the reimbursement for an assignment £10 and I only £8 worth of goods I would not have any problems claiming the £8 back right? And what if I buy something that's £50 worth, I would still be able to claim the £10 reimbursement fee back?

Thats what I'm talkin about! Bring it on. I'm hoping that it doesn't dry up at Christmas.

Yeah that's correct. Usually if there is an upper limit it is specified in the brief. TNS fast supermarkets is the only one I can think of ATM that has an upper limit.

Hey. I'm still new to this, but can anyone help me submitting an invoice for Retail Active? I've downloaded the template and filled it in, but I can't work out how to send it to them :embarrassed: A few quick questions I have:

• It has a space for invoice number; I assume this would just start at "1" and increase by one for each and every invoice I submit?
• Can I submit multiple jobs on the same invoice, or do I need to provide a separate invoice for each individual job? (Not an issue yet, but it may be in the future...)
• How do I actually get it to them? Is there an e-mail address, or is it snail mail? And do I need to provide receipts here as well as in the reports?

That sounds like a normal week to me

The MSing does a bit. The majority of my work last December was audit & merch

Oh bugg#r! I didn't notice the time! I was about to complete my GAP report but since it's after midnight I can't access my 4 digit code (the one you get on the assignment notes). I'm sure I printed a screenshot of that page for this very reason but can't find it anywhere. The Enquiries note that I wrote wouldn't send (what is up with things tonight!?!) so I had to email them - blimey, hope that's not a sackable offence :eek:

On the first page of this thread there is information on how to access the code after the time. Can't link as I'm on my phone.
