    Hope you asked for milage if they think it's that far away ;)
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I see MF have loaded a new pub chain - slight catch is that if you accept one you have to do two others in the locality. Its not clear which locations they are linking in the area - no doubt they will fly off the shelves in the next few hours. Could work out quite expensive if you do all three...

    They did something like that about a year ago, think someone on here did it and regretted it!

    Funnily enough, I also had an email from RM giving me a user name and password to access the self-allocation.

    I only ever get jobs from GR when they are emailed out. It doesn't matter how many times I log in, there's never any work just sitting there.

    Latest poll on MF:

    "Would you be interested in a mystery shopping assignment to make an online purchase your choice of white good with a 10% discount but with no fee or reimbursement?"

    So far, the majority of people have answered: 'Yes' or 'If I had the finances'.

    What the !!!! is wrong with people?! You can get more than 10% off at most online stores just by googling for a voucher code and using a cashback site. MORONS.

    Rant over! :)

    I clicked no on principle, but....

    If I were already buying something, and using a cashback site, I'd probably do it for another 10% off on top.

    TBH at the risk of being shot down in flames here - there are lots of MF jobs that get picked up where it ends up costing you personally, so perhaps it's those that are giving the positive responses to these surveys.

    What's the total number of jobs you've done in any one day? (curious, to see if i'm being too ambitious with the amount i've taken on today for one day or if i'm being a wuss and could do more :rotfl:)

    In one place? 14. In one city 16, I'd not be able to do as many if I wasn't super organised and able to work on the run using free WIFI.

    Don't take too many, the shop is only 40%ish of the job, the reports take up the time, its best to finish and think I could have done another three or four than sit down and wonder how you'll get through them.

    The reports are quite short so i'm going to do a couple, have a sit down, fill them in on my phone or fill in the printed form, do a couple more etc. It's all in one place and the jobs seem pretty simple. I've booked 12....:o Because the fee is pretty low, it didn't seem worth it unless I was getting a decent amount overall. They're not for a little while, i'll let you know how I get on :D
