No way! I've just about gotten into the swing of these UKIMS cheapo visits. They looked atrociously scary when you saw the brief, but it was actually a doddle. Boohoo!

Yup, puts an end to my Ayr and Kilmarnock trips they are just not viable if I have to pay the petrol.

Is it just me or is everyone seeing like 50 visits on GFK? I've been doing like 2 a day! Well impressed.

Seeing plenty, good fees for wandering around old buildings and the email jobs are like taking candy from a baby.

TNS has really taken off for me, lots of stuff they have called to give me rather than FFF has paid very good money indeed, the cars this month will pay for the holiday.

Was just looking at my TNS Sassie payment review and saw that my phone shops from May have had the payment review altered (ie the recorded one is now showing at the increased rate). Haven't had the payment yet though - does anyone know when it's likely to happen? I'm sure I saw someone mention an additional payrun. Would also quite like the briefing payment too...

Someone mentioned a pay run last Friday but nothing through yet. As soon as it is in my magic pending account, I will let you know. Glad we are getting paid properly.

Don't worry too much, I have a feeling the cheap European will eventually go back to UKIMS. RE love poaching clients with lower fees, but a lot tend to go back. RE poached torso shop (with a cruddy fee/reimbursement), which went back to GR for a better overall fee for us. I guess the GR reports are a better tool for the torso shop.

As for TNS, they have totally gone off my radar yet again. They are playing silly !!!!!!s with the trains.

My faves at the moment have to be MS LTD and RA.

UKIMS didn't want me as they already have enough shoppers in my area

And just checked on gfk and not a sausage!

BTW My missed TNS sassie quick supermarket reached my account earlier this week.

Does anyone have a good record-keeping/tax spreadsheet template that they could share please? Trying to make sure I'm doing the tax right and not missing anything.

Thanks

Pete

Has anyone received any payment for the posh TNS/Sassie car jobs. I have done a lot but nothing yet and the first I did were mid April?

Thanks

re the bet jobs with no fee

they are hoping people will take two
do a matched bet, and you get a pay out that way guaranteed
they get two jobs covered.

im seeing 3, tv company ones and can only do 1 a day due to location... wont be doing those then

thankfully im picking up some invite only audit work from them which is just as well given the lack of the "50" jobs you can see

Unfortunately while people take these poor/no fees then it will continue and get worse.
