    I think someone needs a phone mystery shop job :rotfl:

    Sweetie, I did 3 this week. They all give differing information so I am none the wiser. I'm tempted to get one of everything, but then, I'm just plain greedy! :p

    I dont understand how people are not that busy next month, ESA alone have uploaded over 3500 jobs in the last couple of days and from what I can see there is a lot still left.

    Unfortunately I was out when ESA uploaded and by the time I checked the site all the clothing and the various food shops had gone. I can only see funeral jobs on there, but I can't face doing them. Never seen any of my relatives after death or been in a funeral directors before, and it would make me feel extremely uncomfortable.

    Can only see manky pubs on RE with evening times, which I can't do as I'm a single parent, so I have to stick to school hours. I didn't see any of the alerts on there today, so I mustn't have been quick enough.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I have an iPhone and iPad so can't fault them really... (apart from predictive text which is whole different matter!) but u can turn it off though :)

    I hated the thought of them before I did one but TBH they are great, really nice bunch of people and very nice shops. They are actually nothing like I thought they would be.

    !!!!!!! Accepted a gap chicken job this afternoon when they phoned and I squeezed a nice fee from them, and just as I'd finished and had a couple of mins left that I needed to be in there, when I was about to pop into the toilets - a couple come in with a massive family of chavy kids who all gather round in a group (which I guess is the commoners version of a queue!) by the toilets and all go in one by one. I was waiting for about another 15 mins. Grrrrrrrr :mad::mad::mad:

    I got paid sometime late morning/early afternoon. Always forget how Gap pay appears during the day and get a pleasant surprise.
    Thanks, yes it never shows up on my bank account as pending so I was getting worried but then it magically appeared this evening!

    I don't want to lug a laptop around and surfing the web / mail on my smart phone is OK but nothing special so just ordered a Galaxy wifi & 3G 7inch 32GB tablet for £249.99 at CPW, they are bringing out a new model hence the price cut, but for surfing the web and mail it's ideal.

    Cant go wrong at that price. lots of the tablets are dropping in price at the moment, I love my ipad and iphone spot on for just about everything I do. Some sites aren't the easiest to navigate on a tablet but if you can write it off as an expense then everyone's a winner!

    Re the reactive coffee shops - scenario suggests for two people but then goes on to say about commenting to the barrista about being met if unaccompanied. Can anyone clarify the position on this? Is there likely to be questions if unaccompanied? Theyre a new company for me, trying not to get off on a bad footing.
