Anyone else finding it's still a bit quiet out there post Christmas? Or am I in the wrong place?

Plenty of little jobs on the go round here with the 3 companies I shop for, to the extent that I've strung 3-6 jobs together in a day the last few days and worked an area/town/shopping centre. I don't shop (or do any one thing) full time, so it's not a living, but it's turning over what I need it to.

The only downside is I went into town this morning on the motorbike, to save paying for parking, and barely set foot outside until 2-3pm.

Sufficed to say, the bike's still in the multistory, and I got the bus home!

Anyone else been offered loads of banks (all from the same company)? I can't see anything to say you can't do all the ones in your local area, but would they get anything on their screen showing that you'd been in more than normal prompting them to smell a rat?

Not sure which company you're referring to, but I once did 5 GFK banks in one day and accidentally saw the cashier's screen and it showed all my transactions, cash deposits at specific named branches followed by ATM withdrawals. He didn't seem to bat an eyelid but I stopped doing so many in one day as I felt a bit paranoid after that!

Thanks for the reply, yes, they're GFK jobs, I've PM'd you the client name

I always do the max amount on the same day. I know they can see the screen but so what? There is no restriction in the brief and I have never had an MOS bat an eyelid about it.

4 will do then.... just as well cause someone beat me to it on all the rest :rotfl:

Fees have dropped on the GFK banks though, bit disappointing

skivenov

Have on everything lately, until they get desparate for people to fill them.

Disappointing news, I thought GfK were one of the good (or at least better) guys

The BU13 is unreliable it got recalled. A new unit is come out and will be available for sale soon.

Personally, I don't see the benefit of the bu13 and as yonk has said (who actually if i remember correctly i broke yours too!!) they can be very very unreliable.
