Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

ricksExpensive

I know this has prob been asked somewhere but i cant see anything so here goes and i appologise if it has!

Ive got first mystery shopper assignment tomorrow but i havent got a clue what im supposed to do about tax and NI???? Ive looked at forms suggested in post number 1. But they just confuse me as they have dates from april 05 - 06 on them?

If someone could please lay out in simple terms what i need to do with relevant links for forms and when i need to do them and when i should send them off etc etc that would be a massive help and very appriciated.

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere already!

It's the one I used too.


Jennyjelly I use a similar way to Rachie to remember details - I have a pay as you go phone at home, and I text it when I am out - no one knows who I am texting but I get descriptions, times etc all jotted down. You can use this lots if doing pizza assignments where you need to remember a few different times, or if doing a supermarket and need descriptions of a few people!

I made a mistake yesterday - forgot to record the shops next to 3 assignments! Had to retrace my steps today which took another hour, and did an extra 50 miles! Wont make that mistake again!

I do this too, but just save messages to draft then it doesn't cost me anything. :j

I think we've all forgotten to look for the shops next door.

You can sometimes find out what's next door on royalmail.com using the postcode finder - if you search for a street it gives a list of addresses & you might be able to work out the next doors from the property numbers.

I tried this! I even looked it up on google earth to see if it jogged my memory! Just filled in the questionnaires only to find I only needed the info for one place too! What a disaster. Definitely will not forget to look again!

How does one become a 'mystery shopper'? Sounds great.
