    Ooh I used to work 4 hours a day when my daughter was little, its great hours i worked in a bookshop it was my best job ever, it closed down unfortunately, I would have loved to have worked there full time, I am a PA at a textile company now and its a bit boring!

    I am gonna try and fit some MS jobs in at the weekends (if i ever find any in my area!)

    Help !

    I am trying to submit my first RE report and I had to take a photo (I am sure you'll be able to guess which one - they only came up yesterday). I seem to be stuck inbetween entering expenses and uploading the photo, although I have done both - I just can't get to the next step - entering the report.

    What am I doing wrong ?

    TNS have driven me mad today.......... First they email to say client has cancelled a restaurant visit - fine, no problem.

    Secondly I had agreed to do a hotel overnight stay on 8th December. Pack came through yesterday, I printed off the 31 pages that went with it to keep for reference as I thought it would be easier to make notes on.

    Phoned the hotel today to make the booking to be told they were fully booked for that night. I emailed TNS who said to phone back and book another night between 1st & 12th December. I emailed back to say I could only do the 8th and that is why I selected that date when I applied for the job and was accepted for that date.

    I got a curt email back saying they had deallocated the job and in future would I not agree to jobs unless I was free for 90% of the dates!!??

    Personally I feel this is unreasonable - what do you think? They only ask you to select one date, not a range of dates when you apply for the job.

    Then, to put the icing on the cake, I get the job pack resent to me for a job I did last Saturday!! I emailed back (yet again!) to ask what they were playing at and they said I hadn't filled in three sections on the form. I opened the questionnaire and went through all of it and it was all filled in correctly - are they just trying to drive me mad today???
