    I'm writing it off to experience, I did make a mistake and wouldn't win a claim but I still think it's a harsh punishment. The brief asked me to buy two soft drinks, I mistakenly bought one soft drink and a glass of water.

    Effinel!

    I think a bottle of sparkling water is a soft drink.

    Not tap water.

    But if it was bottled, paid for water, that should be acceptable. (Unless they gave a Gap stylie list of acceptable beverages.)

    Please tell which company so we can all be forewarned.
    arghhh!!!

    would water be a soft drink as then they can't do the "did they offer you water?" part. Which is important to test, as its about whether they offer you all the upsells.

    Well the GFK food jobs are not shifting in my area at all. There's about twenty on my board. Wait and see if GFK put the fee up....

    My area too. Anyone would be FOOlish to do them at that fee, unless they worked right by the site.

    I feel really pleased when low fee jobs don't shift.
    arghhh!!!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi all.

    Please can you reassure my friend that making £100 profit per month (ie ignoring reimbursements) MSing is an achievable goal? I've never got that high myself as I've never put much effort into it myself, but see how I easily could if I wanted to.

    Please can you quote this reply and say yes if you make £100+ a month. Don't need exact figures at all (unless you want to!), just the reassurance that it can be done. Maybe add in how many hours work you put in to get £100 profit?

    Thank you.

    Quite a few here as well. I don't think the fee is that bad if it went smoothly. There are several on the same industrial estate near me and picking up 3-4 would make it viable if you could guarantee in and out.

    The issue for me is prebooking appointments in daytime hours. I could just see myself taking on 3 and finding the catering managers all wanted different days. Trying to combine that with my full time work could just open up a whole world of grief.

    Some of us actually make a full time living out of this, the number you quote would be a poor days work let alone a full month!

    Yes. I have the same problem. It looks as though the latest version of the app still causes problems.

    Well jury is out for me on the current wave of Abai petrol jobs. You have got to buy 3 items, two of which must be a hot snack + drink + another item. Near enough half your fee goes on this alone as hot snacks are quite pricy + coffee.

    Only worth doing IMHO if you are in the area, which I was for my daughters football match..
