    Ugh. What a day. 5 assignments and, due to ridiculous requirements and questions and the need to ask for receipts, I think I got made on three of them. It culminated with the manager of a burger store standing by the exit to ask me how my meal was as I left.

    Two quick favours please people. Who are IMS and which company does the charity shop visits (I've never seen any listed. And I love charity shops!)

    1. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=who+are+IMS

    2. they are secret but not hidden

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper
    King sized THANK YOU to BIG GRAEME, NIM and WHITELABEL. Just got the document changed to a pdf. Woohoo. Had to go to a cyber cafe to scan it all. That's all mine done now. The questionnaire is still messed up. I've completed everything on SASSIE, but it's showing 170 fields empty? Eeeeek.

    Anyway, good luck to all those that still have their visits to do and questionnaires to complete. I would rather have done a massive visit for AA and be paid 25p for doing it rather than all this kerfuffle!

    Thanks for the 'help'. I did try Googling - as you might imagine IMS is a pretty popular acronym. They're not on the first page of this thread. I'm sorry you think it's an unreasonable question and felt the need to respond in such an unfriendly way.

    i didnt think it unhelpful, I rather thought it helpful , as I showed you how to search using terms on google to find the results you need.
    I simply used the words you asked, "who are IMS" and their company came up as the first link for me.

    a similar approach will answer you second question, but perhaps i shouldnt have been so helpful and just handed it all to you on a plate, or just not bothered to help you at all...

    perhaps you should look not for the simple text, but the meaning behind things before being so judgemental towards someone helping you... #justsaying :cool:

    Oh god - sorry. Put it down to a bad day. I saw the 'Let me Google that for you' link and jumped to entirely the wrong conclusion. Please accept my apologies and my thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Now where's that eating humble pie emoticon?

    I did a couple of the sensible brief ones but they won't let me take any more they even rang me and asked, then told me I couldn't have them.

    I had four hours to fill and offered to do a nice circuit too, their loss.

    I've done one visit today - not sure I can face the scanning in yet. Doing another couple tomorrow after another TNS train job. And must remember to do an RE job at the station too.
