    Very happy. Just snapped up a visit with RE to a bar I go to after matches with my uni hockey team. Now I get re-imbursed for drinking and eating as I usually would :money:

    but then have to write up their stupid report and deal with any proof reading queries

    ddnt think anyone would be happy with RE at standard fees whether you were going there or not

    I had an RM email, called a few minutes later and they'd all gone :( She did say they'd just had a flurry of calls.

    Had the TNS phone shop email - as I did a few last time there probably won't be many I hadn't done. Plus the reports are v frustrating - wish they'd have a proper questionnaire rather than it being in Word.

    There were 5 with RM I could have done, but I don't have time to do anymore. Sorry you didn't get any babes. Bit of a tip, when it's the last week of the month, it's best to give them a call and ask. I normally do that and they allocate me generous portions of visits.

    Just out of interest, did anyone get onto the trains briefing but was not allocated a visit? If so, will we still get paid for the briefing? I bloody well hope so, else I will be paying them a visit! Errrr.

    Only once had a problem with RE proofreading. And I only tend to do their visits if im already visitng the area. So fees arent a massive deal. Also im a student so any free meal is good in my eyes.
  • Quick query -
    I signed up to GR when I started MSing about 2 months ago but absolutely no assignments have shown on there since sign up, not even in the missed assignments.
    Am I doing something wrong? (I'm in Yorkshire

    I have never seen an assignment after being with them for a year and a bit :P
    Try putting down a postcode of your main town centers instead of just your home address. Apparently that works for some people :)
  • Is that forum still active? I registered months ago and heard nothing, some of the other posters here said the same thing.

    There is a huge backlog of applications apparently, hopefully they will get round to approving them sometime soon.
  • ETA: Oh poo, mine are the same!! Thank you - have had to release them, will be doing GR audits at those times!

    What does ETA stand for Tractorgirl? I can only think of Estimated Time of Arrival, but then I'm not so hot on acronyms.

    I got accepted a couple of days ago - I'd forgotten that I had applied.
