    Leni go to the orientatiopn bit as I thought I was a few days off the 2 months stage to but it let me take the test and I am now accredited to do these shops!!

    it's allowing me, although works pc isn't so I'll have to do the test tonight. A well known kitchen place is showing also in the search but when I go to request the job, nothing is listed, I've emailed GAP about this.

    anyone having problems viewing their assignments with GAP?

    I've added 3 assignments in the past week but now can't find them!:confused: I've only done 1 assignment for them before, do they email me to confirm that I've been given the assignment? I can't remember! I've just added one for tomorrow but it's not showing and I don't have an assignment number to print off the paper work

    How do you go about asking for a receipt as per the instructions without looking suspicious??!?

    I just ask for it. Have not had any problems or suspicious looks.

    I work in a job where I need to get receipts for my expenses so I just ask - a lot of people need receipts so they normally don't even think twice about it :p
  • Has anyone else registered as self employed for all this mystery shopping. I phoned the tax office and they told me I needed to be. (if you work for someone like retail eyes or gapbuster where they dont do tax and paye for you).

    Yes I have and I got the 'Certificate of Exemption' as well so that I don't have to pay Class 2 National Insurance.
