Two payments in from RA today looks like one is for the health shops and the other TV/Laptops.:j

Me too, and yet again the money bears no resemblance to the jobs I've done - I cannot figure out what they have paid me for and they still owe me money :mad:

I'm not doing any more jobs for them until they sort out my payments.

You have got to buy 3 items, two of which must be a hot snack + drink + another item.

No mention of a hot snack in the brief, it says a bakery/cafe brand food item, best I have done is a puff pastry mince pie for 50p or a doughnut for 75p, the drink is standard from the last wave the other item can be anything in the store, the i newspaper is 20p at the moment, the spend is only a few pennies more than last time.

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.

Couple of hours on a good day, all day on an average day. Not that much all week on a quiet week.

When I'm full timing the day job I target a tenner a day five days a week for minimal effort, then whatever I feel like at the weekend, maybe nothing, maybe all I can cram into my days off, just depends.

Hi folks - a couple of quick questions.

Can you do a Gap report on an android phone?

If I take a photo of the receipt, when it says browse for file, will it let me work through the file structure to the gallery just like it does on my PC?

I'm working away from home one night this week and picked up an assignment with a premium attached. I didn't think about how to send in the results though! My work laptop is accessed through a secure gateway with everything held on our server and I'd rather keep my MS stuff away from that altogether.

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..

I didn't read it as three items. I've just done two visits and on one got a hot pastry and a newspaper and the other milk and a newspaper, as per my instructions. Nothing about needing to buy a hot drink either.

Yes and I'm exceptionally choosy about the jobs I take on, I do turn down quite a few that don't float my boat.

There are two briefs I have seen so far. One says you have to buy one hot drink + food item from cafe (bakery or hot food item) + item from store. The other brief asks for two items either a cafe product + item (if it sells hot food) or if not a bulky item + another.
The one I went to yesterday the hot drink was normal high exorbitant cost you get at services and pasties/sausage rolls - there were no bakery products. Seems you are better off if you get the second brief but you don't know until you apply what the brief is.

Would really hit your profits if you had to purchase three items, including a pricey hot drink and pastry. Fortunately, both my briefs were to purchase just two items.

Ims are wanting a lot of work for the money on those drink store support jobs they have just put up. Think ill leave those there unless they at least double the fee.

I would say my target is double that each month (pre tax profit) some months you might take a day off f/t work where you can have a nice busy day and make that target. I'm pretty choosy and I only pick up jobs I don't want if the month is looking lean.
