    Hi, don't worry too much about the points. They don't lead to anything. Just do your best.

    I'm sure there are plenty of jobs in that area, it's quite a populated region. There is room for everyone. There is usually a turnover in shoppers with only a smallish number doing it long term or full time.

    Funnily enough I am treading on your patch tomorrow. I'm travelling up north and doing a burger place near Doncaster en route. :D

    I wonder if that works for other jobs too, or just the station ones. One thing that's weird is that my friend tends to have jobs available in our town (or nearby) that I don't see - and often more of them too! And he's only done a few jobs in a year! I see others of the same type for the same clients, so it's not as though he has a different demographic or something either.

    I have no idea, its just this one town which is smack in the middle of my overlap and tbh town is over stating things somewhat its tiny, god only knows why its got such a big station other than it being where two lines meet (but neither of them are mainlines). But I'll def be keeping my eye on it for a while to see if there are other things which show up as one or the other rather than both areas.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    I accepted a Retail Maxim Supermarket (suspect this chain is only in Scotland) by phone earlier in the week and said I would do it tomorrow, forgetting I am off work today.

    I doubt I will get hold of anyone there today so I am wondering if anyone knows what they are like with date changes without actually agreeing with them first? From my memory the online form you just enter the date so that should not be a problem.

    Think its due next week but nat west has updated early so I won't get any updates again until Wednesday next week. Usually how they work nowadays. My daughter had child tax credit due next Tuesday paid today too so guess nat west is on the ball for once! Lol xx HTH

    I think as long as it is still within the days it has to be done you are OK- I had one I couldnt do on weds but Thurs was still in the range so did it then and they were fine.
    might be worth emailing tho as they sometimes have people picking up messages

    Does anyone know where I can get one of those counter clicker things? I tried searching this thread cos I remember it was talked about around the St Patricks Day MF saga but I'm not sure what to search for. I have a counting job tomorrow and need to rely on more than my head!

    A stationery shop perhaps like Staples, WHSmith or something?
