What a day! An ATM not issuing receipts, a sushi chef on his lunch break, a coffee demonstrater unable to do coffee as she was on kitchen aid duty.

And then I spent £140 on stamps.

Today will either be profitable, or a loss depending on who pays me for 'I tried my best' visits.

Did my favourite assignment ever today. A museum!! It was brilliant. Nice look around, lovely cuppa in awesome surroundings, learnt loads of new things, and intend to go back with the kids tomorrow now for a good day out. Crap fee and reimbursement, but loved it all the same.

More the same please.

Also, I'm thinking we're due a new thread? Shall I do the honours (and change the mileage rate while I'm at it!)

Any companies people think we should add to the first post? Or remove? Does anyone work for the London Hotel Visit people there is a huge long section on?

Who was the MSC? I've done a few of these for RA and found them ok.

Wowzers!! How come you spend that much on stamps these days like?
I think I've used two stamps this year so far, and they were for birthday cards.

Aha, so it was you who took that one, I was waiting for them to add a bonus :-) Chef will get his backside kicked for being on a break at that time.

When I'm not mystery shopping I run a virtual assistant business. Half were for a removal company who write to people whose homes have just sold (about 15/ week), the other half were for a kids charity I work for. I need more for the plumbing business who send out stuff to clients weekly! It was actually £147.02. 400 2nd class, and a signed for to South Korea for a guy I house sit for.

I'm guessing that's RA? I think we've managed to do all of them now.

Best day I've had was doing a museum one morning, then getting a bowling alley about 10 mins walk away for lunch and bowling in the afternoon. It's brilliant being paid to entertain after your own bairns

Not sure if I can mention the MSC, but it's that one with the crappest fees possible, and the most drawn out labourios reports. The ones that are a Right pain in the Ar$e.

Museum and Winter Garden. Walked/driven past the place a billion times and never fancied it. The Lowry collection astonished me. I'll be popping in all the time now, I loved it, and it's FREEEEE!!
