    Boy have I come home with some booty today. I have a bathroom mirror, a toaster, a potato masher, a bale of towels, a card making kit, a duvet set, an A5 notebook, 2 packs of AA batteries, 3 coffee receipts and an offer of a date.
    I'm knackered.
    Does all of it get reimbursed or just a portion? Sometimes these sorts of assignments end up costing you more than staying home and watching Loose Women.
    But it appears you found a loose woman on your spree (date).

    does any one else do RA overnight hotel stays for 2 ?
    been invited to apply, but is it worth the application form and 750 word essay they want filling in ?

    All fully reimbursable except the toaster which I needed anyway.
    They were mostly separate jobs.
    As for the date, that's just the kind of customer service I like to report :)
    I am, however, happily attached so had to settle for the bale of towels and a cheeky wink.

    Am I missing something here? Been MSing for over 4 yrs and never seen a store where you would get a fully reimburseable bathroom mirror or bale of towels.

    Bale of towels could be one of the many bedroom/linen/curtain/fabric shops. Not sure if they would be fully reimbursed though unless they were on sale.

    Hmmm, perhaps someone has been stretching the truth a wee bit. I'm all for the potato masher though. Water earth shop. Mirror? Dunno.

    It was only a 9 inch round shaving type mirror. Half price at £5.
    The towels were on reduction from £39.99 to £7.49 because they were rejects. (the dye wasn't even).
    The toaster was £30 but I bought that for myself separately.
    All in different shops and inside the reimbursement limit (except the toaster of course).
    And the fees for all those jobs less travel expenses and toaster still left me a healthy profit.

    What would I want to lie about it for? :(

    Hate that. Really killed my mood reading that.

    Rant over

    Ahhhhhh, well that explains that then. Sorry, didn't mean to offend but it just all sounded far too good to be true in the MS world and as we're shopping the same areas we would most probably see some of the same jobs with some companies. We've had a few ppl on this forum spinning a few tales to show off but I can see now how you managed to get all that booty. Good for you, well done. Just don't tell me next week you've nabbed a package holiday for a family of four to somewhere hot.
