    Quick question as super busy trying to list a million and one things on Ebay this evening to try and reclaim some floor in my house!!
    With React - if the report isn't filled in on time are the automatically deallocated?
    Only I had an attraction visit today which turned out to be closed for refurb :( Was really looking forward to it as well.

    What is their policy with closed shops - can I expect the fee from them anyway, and obviously the mileage.

    Hate doing visits at weekends sometimes as there's no one there if things don't go to plan, so during a 4 day bank holiday weekend, what a pain in the !!!!!!!
    Do I leave the report completely and call them on Tuesday? Or try tomorrow in case any one is there, and send them an email now.
    Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £170

    Beware because this client are very strict that you must conduct the visits alone, if they get wind of the fact that someone was in the car with you, you could at best not be paid, at worst sacked from the burger jobs.

    But the one in question wasn't a burger job, it was a pizza visit. And from her earlier posts, I got the impression it may have been for MF/RE, not Gap.

    I did the visit on my own, he never set foot in the shop with me he remained in the car.

    You would be right it was for a pizza visit and for MF.

    He was with me more for safety as daft as it sounds, as I didn't really want to be down there on my own as it's on a dark newly built place.

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)

    Very wise, I know just what you mean, especially with having to take a photo of the shop exterior afterwards! I once had to get my friend to take the picture with his camera, as my phone battery had died. I was rather glad he was there, there were some rather unsavory types hanging around outside, and giving us funny looks, wondering what we were up to :o

    Yes it does draw a bit of attention taking photos. My visit was quite late at night which made it worse. Felt safe with him he is built like a tank haha.
    Just realised I haven't said it on here yet, Happy Easter to all :)

    Going to pick up my first one ever tomorrow if they are still there in the morning. And If I can be bothered redoing the training thing. I should really get a stopwatch for these visits. Phone is too hard to use for them cos it is a touch screen!

    Healthy eating + the gym can wait till next week!!....

    which brings me to...On one of the sports MF visits it says to contact so and so before the visit. And it says contact xxx on... then there is no number listed. I emailed but didn't get a response... what to do next??

    Nothing for me either. It has probably been delayed by the 2 bank holidays. I would expect it tomorrow or Thursday.
