    To all of you who seem to be getting attacked by this one female reviewer, have you considered going over her head as a group?
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    I actually think she is really nice. I am still getting full marks so can't complain. Personally, I think they have too many shoppers with 90+ marks, so they are being extra harsh to get them down to other levels. I would not be surprised if they took off 20 points for any cancelled visits regardless of the reason or timing at which this is done soon.

    Has anyone ever done one of the painting hobbie shops for BARE? I'm kind of interested. With the reimbursement, you could bang it on eBay and maybe make a tidy sum? Anyone?

    I did them last time they were available at a weekend and found them fine, loved it as a kid and never really got out of it. They are actually pretty enjoyable jobs as the stores tend to be quite chilled out.

    Got about £100 for the lot I purchased last time round, thinking I might put in for another round of them this time.

    Do you think I would be greedy asking to be allocated 5? I probably wouldn't get any mind cos my favourite Bare lady Monica is on maternity leave. ;);)

    Mimi there is two females there is Jess and another Jess is lovely!

    As for the lodge that you can travel too they are good for people like me if your doing large projects like video glasses for tern etc and need hotels on the cheap.

    You could do, mind you they do struggle to shift them sometimes with the level of reimbursement you need given it takes like 2 months to get back.

    MF have never really taken points off me even when i have had tickets. Must have a nice proofreader. But i also know that im the only one in my area so maybe they keep me sweet.

    Is everyone else quiet this month ? Can see hardly any new jobs on any site.

    They used to have a man who always called and said "Well done, that was a top report" and said you scored 10. I don't think he works there anymore. Not seen any emails off him in yonks!

    If folk don't like the cheapy hotels, QDOS were allocating slightly better hotels yesterday.

    And not worth an alert, but I am seeing a few little mini supermarkets on GFK. And quite a few dropped shops on RE/MF and RA in Yorkshire.

    Does anyone alert about them? They don't even have a jobsite do they, I've done bits for them after they have rung me but not had a site to see available jobs.

    Nope, no-one ever puts an alert on for them. No point since the jobs are allocated via email so if you don't get an email you won't get the job!

    Anyone else amused that we seem to keep crashing the Mystery shoppers website whenever there is an alert?
