Many people doing the new big wave of TNS phones?

Competitor visits for me this week then back to the new wave next week, hopefully some decent premiums for the last few on this months wave too.

Will be clearing up some PiP jobs that they need covering and that will be me till June, I've done loads more than I had hoped to do so having a nice weekend off.

Comparing yoy i'm well up on this time last year. I'm far more selective in what I do and this has been far more beneficial. Will wind down over summer just incase the weather improves, nothing worse than slogging round shops doing a circuit when it's hot. However happy to pick up jobs that have been dropped by people who can't be bothered to commit to there side of the contract when the sun comes out (for a nice premium of course)

I often find August a good time for mystery shopping as many people don't want to take jobs. Sadly, I'm one of those that doesn't want to take any so I usually turn them down!

A project testing customer service by getting mystery shoppers to send email enquiries to various companies...

This from a MS company that gets it's own email contact address wrong in its job notes, and frequently ignores contact be email. Can someone set-up a project to MS the MS Cos?

Hi guys
I have done several calls for these guys and they say payment is within 31 working days (so about 2 months after job has been completed!) Is this normal?
It sounds like a long time!
When I enquired they said "well we might try to pay quicker it depends on how far behind we are!"
To me that does not sound very professional.
Has anybody been paid successfully by these guys?
I have never known a MS Company take 2 months to pay for a job!

This is standard practice for several MS agencies.

I've done assignments for JKS and they are fine. As already mentioned the payment timeframe is not uncommon for several MSC.

Hi all

I really need some help as i'm confused. If this isn't the place to ask, please feel free to let me know where I should go and I apologise a thousand times for asking this question which has probably been asked a million times already.

I have done recently 3 jobs with Grassroots and after procrastinating I need to get the tax forms done but I am completely in a muddle.
I work fulltime so I already pay full tax and NI.
I am already registered with Government Gateway.

I'm just not sure exactly what I need to do now? I have looked on the HMRC website and it keeps saying 'register your business for HMRC purposes' - am I meant to be registering as a business? Is so, is this the correct page I should working from ?

thank you to anyone that can help me

You're on the right page, just follow the instructions and login with your gateway details. It will then give you the option to register as self-employed.
