Couple of things I want to talk about today.

#1 Has anybody had their RE money today? Mine hasn't turned up. Very odd, it's always in on 30th.
#2 Need to have a think about how to word this because I could get myself into trouble so I'll post later but just to say; If anybody is doing one of the BARE exam jobs feel free to pm me if they also feel quite uncomfortable with the last bit of the scenario.

My word! After all my moaning a couple of weeks ago, GR have absolutely pulled it out the bag and I have five, yes five, assignments with them this week alone. Happy days! Would be six but I'm too busy with them this week that I couldn't fit it in! One of the holidays as well, finally came up for me and would love to do it, but got too much on this week and it's a bit out the way. Hopefully next time.

Got a phone, torso, clothes and accessory visit.

They say within 24 hours, rather than by midnight the same day - assume people have done the report the next day without problem?

The shop round the corner from me is a GR job but never shows up for me. So I looked up it's postcode and added it as one of my addresses.
Bingo, up it popped for me.

Yep, GR give you until the end of the following day, although obviously they say to do it within 24 hours.
Also just to note, if you do a Saturday job, it won't actually be deallocated until the Monday morning at about 9am. I'm not saying people should wait, but if you had had a particularly hectic weekend where things hadn't gone to plan, GR are a good one to leave till last.
I had a time once where I'd had a mega busy weekend of shops before coming home after we'd been away, but then the car had broken down on the way back, and things went mad. Was up all night writing reports and finishing lots off on the Sunday, but still couldn't get everything done. Logged on Monday morning to send them a message but it was still there, just as 'Overdue'!

I have found in recent payouts that RE is always a day or two later now that it used to be.

Not me.
31st isn't it?
Maybe some kind person with one of those magical bank accounts could advise?

Anybody else done an ESA clothes shop today and entered their results only to have them disappear? Just phoned them and they want me to put them in again. Thinking about it as it's a lot of faff for very little reward

GR actually don’t deallocate until around 0830 the day after your results are due. If you do a job on Monday they won’t deallocate until 0830 Wednesday, I use it when I am stuck and never had a problem from them.

I am doing mine tomorrow was wondering if you could give me a wee bit of advice...
I have to ask for unavailable sizes in both childrens clothes and shoes departments, the shop I'm visiting both these things are in view of each other... is there away to ask for these and change my mind without looking like a complete idiot? :P
(I have to do the same for the men's but that's a bit easier cos I have to buy something from them in the end).

Also did you do a visit that covered all three departments?
I'm a bit confused about whether I'm meant to make an enquiry in the women's section or not....

If I understand the brief then I'm going to have to make a total of 6 enquiries....
