TNS is probably the best to start with as they will do your tax for you so if you decide its not for you you don't have the hassle of sorting out a tax return fo only a few pounds.

I have tried twice to join tns and both times they have said no! Think I need a letter from the pope with them. I get really good scores and comments for the work I do with all the companies I am with, so really don't know what I am doing wrong.
Never mind back to the burgers and buckets!

Hi there

I have done a few MS and really enjoy them - though I do not make any money. By the time I have driven to the place, visited and had a coffee to do the paperwork, I am probably only about £3 in pocket!

My real problem is getting the assignments. How does any one manage it. I live near a huge shopping mall and there are many assignments there but I always miss them. I end up doing ones that are further away and incurring the costs. I do them to keep my hand in though.

I am registered with Grass Roots - who are great - and Retaileyes - probs with downloading from them just now.

Scales, thermomoter and a stopwatch. I still use the lap timer on my phone for the accurate time reading.

Hi

I MS for 3 companies, stared doing it for Gap last month so am due to be paid for the 1st time from them this month. They have rejected 3 of my results without any kind of info why? I have never had a problem with either of the other MS companies I have worked for (GR & RE both for over a year) & to be honest I am pretty miffed as the 3 that they have rejected I had to spend about £18 in expenses, all for the same company. One of them that has been rejected has taken them 16 days to reject after initally showing as approved! Does anyone have any experience of why they might have rejected these? I am nervous that I won't get paid for the other 8 assignments I have done for them in October & am wondering if I should cancel my Novemebr ones?
I have emailed them but my experience of their customer service so far is that they could do with being MS'd as they hardly ever reply!

Cheers;)
