    I didn't even ask for this. They phoned out of the blue- I wasn't there- left a message offered 11 times and an email address to let them know :)
    They know from the past I'll not do an urgent job cheaply. I'll do it, even at really short notice, but want decent money. It was a Sunday afternoon, presumably someone dropped it.

    Do Retail Maxim ever schedule work? They shouted this afternoon for some jobs that needed doing urgently, if they had let me know on Friday I could have easily done them today.

    Has anyone done an email for GFK where you have to ask a question and they reply with another question? If so, what do you do? Do you reply? I thought I would ask on here first in case someone knows before I contact them.

    For example, I asked about renting a garage in a certain area and what documents I would need to sign up. They replied and asked me which garage exactly I was after and for my contact details so someone could call me and discuss further. I am confused. I don't live in London and I have no idea where I was enquiring about. Eeeek.

    Mimi, as far as I know, you don't need to reply. I didn't and it wasn't queried.

    Thanks for the replies PROSHOPPER and PETEW. I've never done one of the emails where they ask for further information so was a bit worried. But thanks for putting my mind at rest.

    I've got a super busy day tomorrow and that's after dropping 10 visits because the said company could not be bothered sending me the correct paperwork! How is everyone else faring? Busy? Quiet? Hope you all make loads. Enjoy!

    If you have a smart phone download the racing post app. It has a predictor on it that shows each race. I tend to just go with whatever has the best odds/chance of winning.
