    Some of these are more 'prestige' jobs where you have to have worked for them for a while........

    Have you been doing this long jobbingmusician? Just wondering when you get some better jobs.
    I used to work for a well known firm in 2000 and after a year or so started getting offered hotel stays and good promotional work. Sadly we moved house so I packed it in in 2001 and have just started again in November!

    Wish I had!

    Can't complain though. Me and OH had a really nice lunch today - spent the allocation and the fee!!! (Fee was only £3) Saved 27p on a cup-a-soup though!
    First Direct Loan @ 7.9% £13,076.03/£20,250
    Mint CC @ 18.9% £3030.29/£3100 Virgin CC @ 34.9% £651.46/£2700 Tesco CC @ 0% 1366/1500

    Also has anyone been paid by BAI yet? I just emailed them. Did work or them on 17.11.

    I've been doing work for them for the past few months and they pay on the 20th of the month following the job. The money has usually hit my bank account around the 24th. However, because of the way the weekend and the Christmas holidays fall, I think this month's payment won't clear until sometime next week.

    It's surprised me to read that some people here aren't keen on BAI - I've found them an absolute breeze to work for. I also did a couple of flights for them (business class, yeah!) - the flights are free, but the mystery shop is not paid, However, they were really easy and I got myself a couple of nice little holidays out of it, so I'm well happy!

    About 2 years now. I try to be really meticulous and reliable, and to 'give value for money' IYSWIM, so some of my reports take well over an hour to complete...:rolleyes:

    Whoops! Twitchy mouse on this laptop has thanked you all by itself! Oh well, I expect you deserved it.

    I've got lots of lovely visits for the NY, including a very classy restaurant :D Makes up for the pub I took DH to on his birthday, in a smart area, where we suspected they were dealing drugs in full view of the bar staff! :eek: :eek:

    P.S. Phoes for you? Is that 'dial an enemy?'
