Is anyone else find it a bit quiet on the MS front as we are in week 4 of 5 week month?

Did a lot first 3 weeks (so met my monthly target) but now all quiet on the western front....

I have picked up some of the many phone shops on offer. These will be my first such visits and wonder if anyone who has done them in the past can offer any advice. From previous postings it sounds as though the reports are quite challenging. Also did you give your details or refuse. I dont have a problem with giving details but suspect that once on the system they will show up in subsequent visits.

I normally don't give them my details. Only once has it been a problem and they refused to give me a quote. The reports aren't too bad normally. Just hope they will offer to write it down for you on paper.

I've been very quiet for the past 2 months, GAP are the only people keeping me going at times. Did some RM visits a couple of weeks ago but haven't done a phone visit, either TNS or DS, for a couple of months........have done all my local ones and the new 6 month wait between DS visits has put them on hold for a while.

If they don't offer to write it down, I usually say, You won't mind me noting some details down. Usually that prompts them to write it out.

mentioned many times, your mobile with a gaptimer on it, or using voice recording on your phone for timings either with a microphone or not.

hope this helps

Yup, we are end of week 4 and a full week to go, tends to happen in 5 week months you get a load at the start a few in the middle and nowt at the end.

I've started using voice memo on my iphone for GAP vists. Easier than rembering to click for each timing point plus it also helps with rembering what they said.

Your also not fumbling around in your pockets clicking so less likely to be recognised.

Have'nt done anything with RM since November - I only recently joined so will be at the end of end queue as they work on phone allocations. Picked up some TNS phones slightly out my normal patch for next month, but they have put in a couple of competitors, so useful loop has emerged. MF keep emailing me a Travel agent with offer of petrol - no chance there - fee needs to be at least 3 times what they are offering....
