    I have just accepted my first Retail Active assignment. This is the first MS company I have dealt with that I had to put a specific time. Would I get rejected if I turn up say 30 mins either side of the time?

    I am doing it as it requires me to buy something then return it the following day. I am doing a hotel o/n stay ms that day - so I can return it after checking out of the hotel!

    Can't wait to do mine. I get really excited at doing these (I'm easily pleased me). Love it when they miss the trick.

    As long as it's within the allowed timeframe it will be OK.

    I don't think it makes any difference. I've put 10am on before and then done it late on the afternoon. Just do it when you can as long as its on the date you entered.

    Is it just me or has it gone a bit quiet? Can't say that I am sorry I need to slow down a bit. Looking forward to my spa visit at the end of the week.

    Careful you don't get contradicted by timed receipts.

    A whole 4 and you can't keep track of them? The best thing to do is wait until the next pay run and see if both added together makes up what you are owed

    Haway. Until she started those evening classes she struggled to put a coherent sentence together.

    One step at a time, eh?
