Hi - need some advice fellow MSers!

I had a RE job booked for today - a pub lunch. When we got there the pub was closed for refurbishment. Do i still need to do the report or just ring RE in the morning?

Ring RE and also there is an option on job web page (on RE website) that you can click saying unable to do job and it gives you options of why it couldnt be done.

I have registered with a few ms companies, do they email you with jobs or do you have to keep visiting their sites? Just done the TNS questionnaire and boy was it long!!!

Thanks for the info re IBAN no's etc Silkysox and RachieB, much appreciated!!:j :j
Now just the code for the UK is it +00 44 then your tel no. minus the zero? Don't want to get it wrong!

I just completed a MS for a supermarket, after the shop I had to go to the petrol station and buy something for 50p so I bought 2 bars of chocolate.
The assistant forgot to give me a receipt so I asked her for one and she TUTTED.
I suppose her manager will be having words when he reads my report.

I had one with RE last week where one was closed. The option on the website gave you the opportunity to say it was closed and if you wanted to reschedule the day. I contacted them as I said it was unfair that companies like cybershop still pay you for expenses if it was closed as it was the company's fault they didnt tell RE that they were closed on a particular day/days. The girl at RE agreed and doubled my fee for next time - give it a go.

TNS send out regular emails as well as being able to check the site.

It's +44 then your number (remember to discard the first zero)

+ and 00 are the same thing when dailing international numbers, the + is just a short cut for 00

You've got it right, but BAI are in any case much more experienced at ringing the UK than you are at ringing them!!!! - if you just give them your UK number they will process it, I think. BUt as you've got it right, you may as well give them your proper 0044 number.

I rang BAI the other day - THANKS MARTIN! :money: - as I used a prefix from this site so that the call cost me the grand total of 1p per minute. I was later offered over £100 worth of work - think this was as a result of returning their call! :T

GR email you assignments, though over the past 2 weeks they've rang me 4 times offering me jobs at short notice so I suppose they don't send out the assignments to "all" shoppers because I'd not seen any of these 4 jobs on email.

pheeeeeeewwwwwwwww i have just done 9 garages this weekend and just done all the reports and now im ready for bed im wrecked there was me thinking wow great, easy job when i saw it listed and applied. never got it but then got a call on friday which of course i jumped at accepting then continued to worry when i read all the details and finally started the job yesterday morning a nervous wreck it was damn hard work and im pleased it over but im hoping that ive done it all right. im now worrying that i wont get paid after spending a whole weekend on this job does the worrying ever stop. as for the lying. oh my god ive lost my place in heaven ive never lied so much in my life. it was awful. i never thought to give another phone number for the first 3 so ive had 2 calling me and im too scared to answer the phone. i feel so guilty for wasting their time after that i gave a wrong number, sorry whoever has that number

as for me buying a new car, i never want to see another car harage in my life thankfully i bought mine in september but knowing what i know know i could have saved myself some money

wont be jumping at one of those jobs so quickly in the future

think ill go to a burger bar tomorrow and ask for a receipt just for the fun of it

IBAN is just an international bank account. if you havnt got a statement give your bank a call. i got mine easy.

cant remember anything else, im exhausted

night everyone
