Woohoo - just got a phonecall from GAP - seems I won £100 in the burger prize draw and yup - one of my jobs is now showing a fee of £116.00. Now where is the nearest place I can buy a euromillions ticket? Like their burgers I am on a roll.

I was told that I had won £100 from GAP the other day and sure enough one of my assignments has an extra £100 added. And they're now payng me the premium that was agreed for a job last month that seemed to get missed. :T

I've got a GR bumslapper where you have to order something online and then collect it instore. Just occurred to me, I'm not sure is the 'assignment date' meant to be when you place the order or go collect it? Assignment notes don't seem to explain.

The assignent date is the day you go to collect it. Remember and leave 4 days for the item to be delivered. When I saw this assignment on GR i was quite interested until I saw that you then need to make 10 seperate in store enquiries as well.

Don't know which brief you have read as the 2 of these that I have done were very straightforward. No enquiries just go and collect the order. Very quick and easy report too

I find it quite depressing lately when filling in the left and right for stores, I'm entering 'empty shop' more and more often

More so when you can remember what the store used to be, when you mystery shopped it and what the service was like.

Most are ghost towns now, so many "to let" signs. Boohoo.

I was thinking only the same yesterday as two more shops have disappeared since I was last in there - only a week ago.

Last week I did three jobs on the same day and all of them had Left and Right - empty shop

Hi guys, can anyone help me with this please? I've just spoken to the jobcentre and they are saying anything I buy for a job and get reimbursed for is earnings and not expenses as I get to keep it? I said I wasn't working to buy an item I was working for the fee. I also said anything I pay out for reimbursement is from my earnings the month before and I have already paid tax on it so it's not an earning but an expense but she says I am wrong?

The part of the brief I refer to says: "Making simple enquiries/assessing the service you receive in 10 different areas/sections of the store.."

That wasn't in the assignment I did.
