I have an iPhone but I find it too fiddly to use for timings because you can't tell if you've pressed it properly without actually looking at it...I use an old cheapo phone with actual buttons to press!

i have an iphone and i just start the voice memo and lock it. then i hold it in my hand til i leave the shop. records everything clearly so i can also remind myself if i missed something. you do need to work out the time between the points yourself as it doesnt lap but its great as no faffing around pressing buttons etc...

im sure lil me also said previously you can put the iphone headphones round your neck and start the voice recorder and have phone in pocket as well. ive lost the headphones so not tried that!

Awww that warm fluffy feeling when you get an email thanking you for your hard work and excellent written reports :cool:

I told my daughter that a lady said I'd done well on a job, so she stuck a sticker on me for being a good girl :rotfl:

It's lovely, isn't it? I remember back in September I'd just had an absolutely horrendous experience with a company, then someone elsewhere thanked me for an excellent first job and told me well done - I almost cried

And bless your daughter, she sounds too cute for words :rotfl:

Also, I had a *very* generous offer from TNS earlier to do some accompanied visits in London - big thanks to anyone closer to the big smoke who couldn't do it or didn't answer their phone!

None showed up for me, mind you I hate the brand with a passion that burns like the fire of a thousand suns, so I might struggle to be objective.

I cannot understand how putting a piece of fruit on an item and putting a lower case letter in-front of its name triples its value...actually I can, the founder was the worlds greatest marketer.

Lol! Yes, voice memos recorded via the headphones with coughs work very well on the iPhone!

Been doing some reading about mystery shopping on this website:

http://www.mysteryshopperjobs.co.uk

Two companies including "Consumer Intelligence" are listed (the other one seems to be more market research rather than mystery shopping). Is anyone here a member of C.I.? Do you receive any work and if so what is the pay? They seem to work with insurers so was hoping the pay may be a little higher than retailers.

Any other tips on legit companies to join would be great.

Thanks!!

Ahh!! Sorry guys not sure how I missed the first/second posts on this thread. Plenty of companies listed so looks like I'll be spending the next few hours entering details with them all
