    Bit slow on the uptake today. I see 2 bookies not that local stoooooopid scenario gone up to 2x burger, If they changed the scenario to the one used by either Red bookies or Mountain, then they would have shifted weeks ago...

    I've had that conversation with them, the client is the one insisting on the stupid senario not MF.

    Its a common problem in MR generally, clients want the unrealistic / unachieveable and vendors generally don't say no cause someone else will say yes and get the work instead.

    Suffice it to say they'll struggle along till its done.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    And I confirm he is lovely, and helpful too!

    Back off, he is mine. I saw him first. ;) LOL. I applied for 1 coffee phone call, and he just gave me the full job lot, all 5. Can't go wrong with that now can you?

    I've always liked BARE and how they keep in touch with you to check how the visits are going. Max / Mr Cho / Monica / Emilian have all been like that and that's the one thing I really like about that company. :beer::beer:

  • Sorry to be a pain but I am new to doing a tax return as started mystery shopping this Sept. Does anyone know when the tax forms will come in and how long we get to do them? I keep worrying that I should be doing something although have not been sent anything to do!

    Any heads up on how long they take to complete? I do have records of everything so have tried to be organised!

    Thank you!

    You have to ask for the forms, either online or on paper. If you do online, any refunds come quickly.

    My OH does mine so I'm not too sure but you do need to ask. He's organised and we have complicated affairs but I don't think it takes that long.

    The tax return deadline if you do it online is always the end of January the following year, so if you started in September 2011, which is in the 2011 - 2012 Tax Year, then your Online Tax return will be due by January 31st 2013. Of course you can do it earlier, probably from 6th April this year (ie Next tax year) - though not 100% sure when you can do it from as I'm a last minute kinda girl lol so would never be efficient enough to do it sooner rather than later :o

    You have registered as self employed when you started I assume??

    I did a shop for Retail Active last Tuesday and haven't received payment, or heard anything from them.

    Just wondering how long it usually takes? :)
