..... I am always being phoned and asked to do just that. I do wish we had a choice of drink though, it is always the same one, which is very nice, but getting a bit boring by now !!!

I am very sneaky and do one of 2 things

1. Pop into the loo with the coffee to do the measurements, then return to store. That way you can load the coffee with the delicious toppings! As there's a good choice, no risk of getting bored

2. Return to the store with the coffee after measurements, as if you'd forgotten to put sugar in. Same thing - your chance to add toppings! :T

I don't think I will try the first option, but the second sounds good, I hadn't thought of that, I will try it out on Monday.

I can't believe it, I finally got an e-mail from grassroots offering me an assignment but when I phoned the automated number, it had already gone and I'm just on the reserve list! How do all you regular mystery shoppers do it, do you have to constantly check your e mails all day? I'm not able to do that so I'll probably keep missing out

The worst thing was, it was for a bank less than five minutes from my house! It would have been perfect for my first assignment. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that whoever got it drops out!

What area are you in ? I am lucky and keep being innundated with these jobs, but only pick them up if I am there, but after today I am wondering if everyone else in my area has retired !!!

Managed to get my first 2 jobs with NOP today guess someone else got them then failed to do them as it's part way through the dates you can do them - was going into town on saturday anyway so even better.

Thought the training was a bit weird as I've only done TNS so far.

When my job situations sorted (i.e. I find one to go to after this contract finishes at the end of month :rolleyes: ) I'm going to investigate some others but just doing these 2 for now
