    Got what I reckon to be few days' worth of egg circuits! Do I have to do each job on the day I initially set, or just anytime within the timeframe and before the deadline?

    If the dates are 1st to 10th, you just need to get it done by the end date so 10th so to speak. That's what I do anyway. Picked up 5. I think the fee has gone up a bit has it not, mind you the brief has totally changed since last time?

    Did my first ever cinema visit today, all on my own with lots of munchies. They should do pizzas in cinemas! ;);)

    Cheers Mimi, I had a feeling that was the case but no harm to double check! I've only done one of these before, so the first couple might take a bit longer and I may not be able to do more within the timeframe. By the end though, I will probably be whizzing in and out in a few minutes like in TNS' convenience stores :D

    Yes you're right about the brief change - it's not an egg shop any more, it's a baguette shop now!

    TBH I prefer the slightly larger stores for the egg jobs, makes it less obvious coz there are more staff about than some of the smaller one horse town without the horse sized places.

    Thank you for talking about the ex-egg shops - have just picked up a good number. Guess we'll be eating baguettes for a while :)

    I wish ESA would remove the jobs you can't do due tto time restrictions as they are sitting there and I can't do them. And they keep sending me emails about them as well.

    Oh it's always obvious I think, you know when you go in to do part 2 of the previous brief. It's all good though.

    Won't feel the same without the eggs though. I'm thinking lots of bruschetta and maybe some french bread pizza with the baguettes. Mmmmmm.

    Well jel! I have never seen a GR home delivery ever. Guess they do not do it near where I live unless someone else nabs them all. Boohoo.

    Not a regular ESA user, so cancelled one job after seeing the other six I'd selected at the same time before clicking 'Apply for Ops' were no longer available. Then realised those six were in my pending applications, not that someone else had picked them up - doh! However, am now comforting myself with the thought that the wrongly cancelled job was actually a supermarket rather than a convenience branch, so it probably would've taken a fair bit longer and really got on my nerves anyway :p

    The 10 limit this round is crap hardly worth doing

    Any sign of gap payments this month for anyone?

    Oooh, did that go on today??
    I shall try and keep my eyes peeled in the next few days in case they are putting more up as I could really do with one of these now! Don't use that supermarket a lot, mostly for food cupboard bits, lots of which we're almost out of.
    I don't think I've ever missed one, which leaves me hopeful that I can nab one if it comes up. Although if I see I've missed one I might suddenly change my mind about liking the fact that you can see what jobs you've missed on GR, as I'd be gutted so would rather not know!!!
