    Hi all, I'm new to MS'ing and I had my second assignment today. It was a disaster!

    It was at a fast food establishment and the place was incredibly busy, I was so focused on trying to time everything correctly using a stopwatch app on my phone, without letting anyone see what I was doing, that I forgot to ask for a receipt! :mad: The instructions say that if you forget then you should just go back and ask for one but it was so busy I'd have been too embarassed to just push my way back to the counter.

    I just had a look at the report process and it seems that it is impossible to pass without a receipt, so I have rescheduled and I'm going to try again tomorrow. I'd have been spending the same amount of money on lunch anyway so I supposed I'm not really making a loss, but it's bloody annoying. :(
    I always pay by card. Then they usually (more often than not) ask you "Would you like your receipt?"
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Usually but not always as I live by that principle as well. I think its a rite of passage that you have to forget your receipt or forget to take a photo and drive back to take it! Its these mistakes that make us more diligent in the future. ;)
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    School boy error. Don't worry about it. Just reschedule.

    Mistakes tend to put you in good stead for future assignments, as you tend not to make the same mistake again. And you'll find after a few visits that everything becomes very natural. Good luck in your future assignments

    samtastic. I see you must have received a punctuation kit for Christmas. Nice one. It makes a heck of a difference, and I can almost work out what the !!!! you're saying now. Almost ;o)

    Well done you. Your proofreaders will appreciate it too.

    Maybe samtastic could pass it onto yourself, as you missed a full stop on the end of your first message!:rotfl::rotfl::beer:

    Happy new year folks.

    I've just seen that QDOS are looking for shoppers near me. Dont think I ever registered with them ( or maybe I gave up because of lack of jobs). Can some kind person pm what companies they do or drop some hints. Thanks.
  • Is it acceptable to write "the advisor had a moustache" as a distinguishing feature... even if she did?!

    Did anyone happen to get a payment from React in late Dec? Mine are still pending with no remittance.
  • Is anyone having problems opening the questionnaire to complete it with P-P? This is the first work I've done for them in a while and the first time I've used the new site. Any hints would be appreciated.
