    COLOR="Red"]I'm doing the Lake District flagship store of a well-known kitchen company. Get ][/COLOR[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR

    I am going to the lakes for my birthday this weekend and was planning on visiting the same kitchen store - but I'm scared i'll spend too much!!!!!! the trip is a surprise from my wonderful DH but he told me last week cos he knows I love the anticipation just as much as the break.

    Lots of exercise and no kids - absolute bliss

    Hope you have a brill time! Are you staying in Windermere itself? There's also a fantastic (though far from moneysaving!) Adini dress shop there...

    LOADS on retail eyes BUT you have to browse a store for approx 45mins for their task. The store near me is tiny so I would look like an idiot!

    Now they have all gone...surely not there was what looked like hundreds...???

    I've just accepted one for RE, But I know for a fact the store closed 6 weeks ago and opened as a Asda yesturday!

    some more that I'm debating doing on saturday but OH will be with me and don't think he'd appreciate 45min in the store! lol

    Hi, I just did my first ever mystery shop for Grass Roots today, but couldnt remember the hair colour of the first staff member I encountered. Apart from that my report was very thorough. Will they still pay me? And how do I get mor jobs! Registered about 2 months ago...

    Turtle, Grass Roots will email you to offer jobs, or if they are stuck, they will ring.
    The automated message will tell you if you are accepted, or if you are on reserve list.

    grasroots contact you,you cant search online,like you can with retail eyes,TNS etc
  • Hey (was it Rachie?!)

    I did a gym job - unfortunately chose a location a bit from me so was a little bit of a hassle. However LOVED the gym and was a really good motivator to go to classes etc - now feel a lot more confident to go to gyms in general!!

    Not sure what my fave job has been - would possibly say the Gym or maybe a rather more expensive haircut than i would usually have at Vidal Sassoon!


    keep on shopping :beer:

    Yes don't worry. Tht do give you a bit of slack. I assume you had names etc. That would prove you had been there.
