    Was just a bit worried as one of the slapper competitors was over in like 2 minutes. All it had was 1 till and no other counters. Eeeek.

    PS. Did 2 reports for RE/MF and both got full marks and approved for pay in like 10 minutes. WOW. A new day has come. :beer:

    Did a super duper posh dine for Service Scan today. I would highly recommend them.

    What was the report like?

    Oh bother - this talk of GR has just reminded me I was meant to do a phone call job today for them. Just completely slipped my mind. Will call tomorrow morning first thing and hope that (a) tomorrow was originally a date it could be done and (b) they will let me do it.

    Anyone know whether they are likely to be sympathetic to a suddenly forgetful mystery shopper?

    I am due a big GFK payday but I don't think I will see it until Monday.

    I would say about 50 to 80 questions which require a yes/no and a short comment. I got the report done in just less than an hour. The fee is tiny, but the reimbursement is very generous. 3 courses later, we were both ready to burst and we had not gotten anywhere near the reimbursement!

    Misssarahleigh came to the last one I did and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn't you dear? ;)

    Plus the lady who allocates for SS is just an absolute gem. She makes the TERN girls look like novices.

    I've changed dates with GR before and they fine with it. The day I changed it to was one of the original days so that may have made a difference but I've always found them to be approachable.

    Now that sounds good, I hate doing reports where they don't convey what they want you to look at and comment on or ala RE have you comment on the most banal points, their latest is two words that come to mind to describe the clients outlet.

    I don't mind doing the odd small fee (or no fee) for a nice meal, always good to keep the wife sweet.

    After doing 12 RA pharmacy visits in the last day and a half I don't think I'll have a headache for a while, what do those who do these jobs often do with the damn things?
