    just got another dining one,sunday lunch at a place where if we ever go out for sunday lunch this is it !!! :T :j
  • Yes I have quite a few too, managed to schedule 3 for 21st august so will save on the diesel too. I think I only got mine as I happened to check the one website at lunch-time, I did chose one and by the time I went to input the date it was gone, so I assumed someone else just pipped me to the post !

    I can imagine though that if someone had 4 assignments say with a spend of £30 required at each, that is £120.00 owing and it may be up to 4 weeks before payment is reimbursed in which case if money is tight it could be problematic.

    I too got fed up with the fast food jobs Welsh Dragon. They were desperate and asked me to do 4 in one lunch time. I took my eldest son (bottomless stomach) with me, and managed to eat 3 eat-in meals between us. The last one was a drive through, so I did the obligatory nibble for the taste questions, and took the rest home to youngest son who was full of cold and had stayed in with Granny!

    On the subject of spends, I've spent just over £1300 in the last 3 weeks on mystery shopping work :eek: The 2 companies pay the money spent to you within a few days of the job though, so I'll have the cash in my bank account by the time the credit card bill arrives.

    For anyone interested in food jobs, I've had a meal through http://www.marketpublic.com before. There was no fee, just reimbursement for the meal and a round of drinks. There were a few questions afterwards, but they were quick and easy to answer - no long report to write. You won't make any money with them, but worth looking at for a free meal.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hiya,

    I have been sent about 10 so far and only accepted one. the first few either needed to be done when i am at work or were too far away.

    You just accept the ones you want! :)

    Does anybody know when i will get paid from Grassroots?

    Cheers
