They don't work over the weekend so if you send them an email explaining and submit the report first thing tomorrow you should be OK.

Thanks, I'll do that...much more MSE than paying for the hotel Internet :money:

I know tablets have been talked about on this thread before but I can't find what I'm looking for...is there a way to upload a receipt image on Aba-i's questionnaires from an iPad? I did some petrol jobs today but I'm not at home. I have my iPad plus my laptop but if I use the Internet on my laptop it's £5 an hour and I'd rather not pay it if I don't have to. The images I'm trying to upload are photos taken by the iPad but the little 'find image' button isn't highlighted when I'm typing the report. Any ideas?

iOS5 allows tethering or Personal hotspot, you can use your iWhatever's connection through your laptop.

I've had this happen previously, there was a note on it somewhere. But, it was possible to print the paperwork etc without seeing it.

The good news is that it was just that they wanted to make sure I got the right one as there were two in the same building. I'd gone to the right place and I did get paid for it as normal.

Hopefully, it's just something like that and you'll be able to sort it on Monday.

Got an email on Sunday apologising for the message and saying it would be removed and asking for input ot be done before Monday 11am. No explanation, just "the message has been removed"

That's not currently possible but apparently support is being added in iOS6, the next version of the operating system, due out in a few months' time.

Not totally accurate. Whilst Safari will not allow this until IOS6 other browsers do allow you to access your camera roll. Mercury and iCab mobile do for example. No idea if they will work for ABAi as I do very little for them, but will work with other MS co's so no reason to doubt it would not work for this.

Do you know if Mercury works for Gap? I know iCab doesn't and it would be fab if I can find one that does.

TERN and ABAI paid today.
GRASSROOTS pending for tomorrow.

Gosh, this is the first time in ages I have only 1 visit booked all this week. And for once, I am pleased. I need a break.

Just done a RM visit which was 2 minutes down the road from where I live and it had a good reimbursement as well. How good is that!

I just did my first phone job. I was really nervous about it if that isn't too weird...

Maybe I am just a bit odd It makes me happy when the people do the right things. I feel kind of guilty writing down that someone didn't do something. I guess I just know how much trouble you can get into! My guy this morning did everything

Hey I did try to do a little thread search but I am sorry if this has been covered or talked a lot about (I am new afterall!!)
I'm not intrested in most mysteryshopping, I have no confidence and struggle to go shopping for myself never mind a company.
However I am intrested in the dead letter box idea.
Can anyone give me the low down on this? Any tips or information?
From what I have seen it appears to be about £5 pay but what is expected of you?
How common are they, so is it worth signing up to every ms company I can find?
Do you get advanced warning of what you are expecting in the post? For example I sign up to 5 companys and get a letter, how do I know which one it is from. (Sorry if that sounds daft)
Thank you

i know only of 2 companies that do drop boxing, it doesnt pay very much at all and isnt really worth signing up to do it as it isnt that frequent i just do them as an extra when they are there.

have you considered just doing online surveys ?
there are quite a few thread on here about that

and well done for recognising that mystery shopping may not be for you, its a shame more do not do the same before starting.
