Well done Aesop - great win !
I suppose it depends how you look at MS. There are some that pay quite well but I've found most don't if you work out the hourly rate, how much you have to look at and how long it takes to fill out the miles of report for some of the jobs.
However, I look at it this way. Am I going to earn something and maybe get something free I would have had to pay for ? How much will it cost me to get there and back ? Is it somewhere different to look around for a change and maybe spot a bargain - different charity shops for instance ? Finally what else would I have done with the time ? Sometimes you can get paid mileage or travel costs on top. I also think that more work may follow if I become a 'regular' shopper.
Sorry long post. Good luck

Thank you Lynne. Makes a lot of sense
Most of the jobs I am being offered are 35 miles from me so I don't think it will be worth it for me.So I will leave them for someone elsewho lives nearer.
