    Might have bitten off more that I can chew with a job. One of those ones were I need to take photos without permission in a staffed bit of a shop. Hmm. Do you ever stop being scared of getting caught in this job? I've only done a couple of thousand visits!

    Never had this as a requirement before. I'm not sure I'd take an assignment with this requirement.

    Part of the Furniture I've been Money Tipped!
    A question on fees, the minimum wage is £6.08 per hour (if you're over 21) but I've seen many places paying less than this, is it different if you're self employed?

    There is no legal minimum wage requirement for self employed peoples!!
    It's just up to each of us to choose the minimum amount we are willing to work for.
    I know for me personally this varies according to circumstances at different times, and will of course vary for different people.

    was a pain though, and avoid them if i can

    When I look at my current assignments page, there is no date of shop, just a due date?
    Where does it say what date the shop was booked in for?
