    Am doing two early morning petrol ones tomorrow again - we're going somewhere for the day anyway so it'll be nice to have free petrol. :D

    Am doing two bank ones next week - hope they'll be ok, never done them before.

    My diary is starting to look empty again from midweek onwards... Hope there will be lots of new ones soon!

    Oops! :eek:

    I just search for my jobs and not had any trouble logging in! Anyway, I think they are a good company to work for.

    Have registered with Grass Roots but not taken any of the jobs offered off them.

    I did another 2 today so thats 3 this week.
    The net loot for the 3 is £38, 6 bottles of wine, a big jar of peanuts (for hubby) and 3 bottles of posh shower gel (for me). Not bad for a few hours of wandering round nice shops!

    Don't think I can say the shop or the company :(
    But I am well chuiffed :)

    No, you can reveal the name of the marketing company that conducts the mystery shopping survey, but NOT the name of the client (ie, the shop), neither can you mention fees or disclose precise details of the assignments.

    I am a supervisor for a mystery shopping company, and we have to be careful that confidentiality is not breached. Other than that, I hope you enjoy your assignments! :)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    oh ok well in that case it was counterintelligence ( I only "got" the name today - very clever (gosh I am slow).

    They got back to me within a few weeks of registering with these 3 assignments. They called me and the people I spoke to on the phone were really really nice.

    hi, I'm back after 2 weeks in the carribean!

    Missed out on LOADS of MS when I was away and some looked really good!

    Just signed up for 2 in the first week of november! Get my first payments from RE's tomorrow :D

    I set myself a target of paying £450 off my CC this month! I've managed to pay £90 and have just picked up a travel expence cheque for £158, and just checked my bank account to see £123 paid from MSing and £25 from Quidco!

    So, I have £60 to raise in 2 weeks! Any ideas? I need to be paid the money before the end of October so any MSing I do now won't count!

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    1st Baby due May 2011 :o it's a BOY:j
