My luggage assignment has vanished off the RM page can not find it anywhere?

It happens around this time every month, they still haven't got the new system running at full steam, just do the call as normal, they will have emailed you the brief.

Why does it not surprise me that only 19% of the MF poll about "working from home" say that they are self employed. The results would suggest that the 70% that either don't want to, or don't but would like to haven't registered as self employed...

Which is crazy as MF report everything to HMRC.

Is anyone doing sending things for GfK? Do you know if the cost of sending is on top of the stated fee please? I find their breifings really hard to get my head round without reading them over and over and now I have confused myself. (I just found the email about these in my spam box by the way. )

Hi, I emailed the women back who sent out the email to check as it didn't say in any of the notes, but she confirmed they refund the cost of the postage on top of the fee.

I've had to contact them because I can't get into the website. One replied to tell me that it was the site. The other replied to ask me to sign up as a new shopper if I want to increase my income (therefore not reading my message at all). Curious.

Am doing a cat shop later - can you return the item? Struggling to find anything I actually want (and am prepared to be taxed for!) for £5!

I'm wondering if anyone can help..

A year or two ago, I was completing many assignments each month for G*K. Now, I don't see ANY assignments in my area. I've updated my profile and am feeling a bit frustrated as I used to do around 4/5 a month for them consistently...

I live in Plymouth in the South West!

Give them a ring and ask, they're nice people to talk to.

DS seem to have bother getting their phone shops filled around there.

I noticed that, offering slightly increased premiums too, at the end of the month, if I recall correctly.

I've returned mine, a few days later.

I don't think it means that necessarily, certainly not to assume that they are not paying tax at any rate. I am registered self employed with HMRC as a mystery shopper and I am also a director of my own Ltd company for services that I undertake at my clients premises. In other words I don't work from home.
