    S'cuse my ignorance, but what is the point of a buyback? Tried Googleing to no avail. I've heard lots of you talking about them on here. Ta

    Oh I do like taking premiums from dozy companies.

    For the last three weeks I have told BARE that I will in a certain town on a Wednesday and can do the two jobs that have been there for a month, each time they have knocked me back.

    I'm doing them tomorrow for 4x the fee plus fuel because the deadline is Thursday. ESA are paying a premium for a visit on the way too which is a result.

    MS companies are thick as. Two points. Firstly pay a decent fee to begin with and perhaps all jobs will be taken (although we all know how many money grabbing desporados there are that will take anything, mostly posting in these boards), secondly listen to your regulars who offer you a deal before offering the jobs for twice or thrice the original reimbursement.

    Beats me, maybe a typo for SQ (Service Quest)?
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Ah, them, I thought most of their stuff was reimbursement only?

    The hotels are, but a pretty good wheeze if you want to spend a romantic night away. Or, if you're like me, would like some peace and quiet :D

    Sounds right up my street then! Think I have found their website - they were founded on my birthday, and a special one (for me) at that. I like them already :D

    Haha! That explains why I've got an account with them that I'd forgotten about, I took some lass on one of their jobs a few years back.

    Worked well ;)
