You don't have to buy a drink

My assignment notes say the drink is compulsory! Think i'll just get a can as they don't specify which.

I would never rely on the assumption that the fee will always cover the cost but when I do the GAP pizza I have always took the deals as it does dramatically lower the cost and make it worthwhile. I am not sure whether a bottle is allowed as I have always had a can but this is probably just me being cheap. Enjoy your pizza.

Thanks, will go for the £9.99 deal then!

That is what I do and a drink has been a compulsory purchase for me too. I wouldn't buy one otherwise

Hi all,

Is anyone else having trouble completing the online test for the new wave of visits for TNS on behalf of a mobile phone manufacturer?

I simply can't obtain a score of above 96%, and 100% is required to pass the test and subsequently make me eligible to complete the visits. I emailed TNS regarding this, and they said that one of my answers is wrong despite me being almost certain it matches what is said in the very long 30-page brief.

Logged in again this evening to give the test another go and it seems to have disappeared, stating 'Test ** is no longer available'.

On another note... my word I hate the Sassie system so much. Wish all the mystery shopping companies adopted data entry systems like GfK and ESA! I love doing assignments for those two.

Hmmm... Turns out it was actually about the post. Oh well...

I was thinking that it was strange that they had not been mentioned a bit more! so they are like the A company, do not want to be mentioned. Noted.

Gap have a new reporting system. Not getting on very well with it so far - am going to give up and try again later!

For those of you who declare your earnings to the tax man I'm registered self employed and just wanted to check... If I did a mystery shop today that cost me £36.52 and I am getting £32.75 back do I put down £32.75 earnings and £36.52 expenses? Or would I put £25.00 expenses as that is the food portion that is being reimbursed?

Any help appreciated, sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before!

Katy the £25 is part of your pay, as I understand it, it is not an expense, its like payment in return for doing a report on the lovely meal you just had, or whatever it was you spent £25 on.
