    Think I'm getting a bit obsessive now checking GR as people have been saying that bum slapping supermarkets are going on the last couple of days! There hasn't been a delivery one for my local for a while now, and I could really do with one as otherwise have some shopping to do there anyway!
    I've never missed one, but then again I think I've only ever missed one or two that I've wanted, but the clothes and the accessory visits in my town went fairly quick this time (which was fine as I left them as don't really want to do them!)
    But that and the ex-egg shops that seem to have all been snapped up super quick makes me think there is some uber keen newbie snapping everything up!! :(

    I'm not sure you can do both in the same shop, can you?

    I just accepted the counting one and the other one immediately became unavailable to me (unless someone took it while I was accepting the other one).

    Not bothered though - I only chose the counting one as I think there's much less work involved for the fee.
    Sometimes you can and sometimes not. I did a few at the begining of the month and got both for the same shop, this time its one or the other you can't have both

    The Fri/Sat/Sun ones go on first for a store, and then a few days later the Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu ones go on. I've got 3 bum slappers near me and I get to do them each month. Woohoo! I just want to land one of the posh supermarkets, but someone always beats me to it, #annoyed.

    So is everyone else totally ram packed with visits next week? Going to be a manic few days!

    Well could you lay off applying and let someone else have a go! I've got sweet FA for Feb as I always get beaten to it. :(

    did a GR transaction bank today, lady was so polite, friendly and helpful that I gave details as going over the expected level due to what she did and not in a gap burger floor show kind of way, does any know do they get a bonus ? I hope so

    That the beauty of FFF. But to be honest that is a small part of the work I do so you can't really blame me if your not busy.

    What I don't get is if some of the shoppers on here, like yourself, are really busy all day, then how on earth do you manage to FFF? In the middle of an assignment? Huh? I don't get it. If I do a couple of hours of MSing I'm sure to miss all the best jobs on the alerts thread as I cant get to them quick enough. When I'm working I have to wait until I've finished the current assignment before I can log onto my smartphone and apply, then theyre all gone. Ramble ramble ramble.....sorry.
