    I've never had a penalty, do you mean with MF when you change days. Do you get a penalty if you release a job?, I never have with MF. Released an audit with GFK as it looked so complicated.

    You lose points if you release a job - I think 2, but I might be wrong.

    Yeah, I released one with MF. They assigned it to me when I was talking to them on the phone. The guy said it would be fine to read over and release if I didn't want it. Seems a bit harsh. It shows in red as a -2. (click on your points to see breakdown). The other ones you move just show as 10, with no 2 added.

    I just wonder if it will stop me getting jobs with them.

    just had my Saturday job approved - PHEW! and yes, i still got the same day points.
  • Has MF gone awfully quiet? There's only 5 optical for me just now. I have picked up lots the last few weeks and had 6 sitting in active for this week. But there's nothing new coming up. Is this usual at different times of the month?

    The sandwich shops usually appear on Thursday afternoon.

    I think it goes through flits of being really busy. First thing after the weekend seems to be a good time.
  • Thanks. I didn't realise some came on regularly weekly. I've only seen one sandwich shop job, it's 25 miles from me so I'd need to be going there anyway :)

    I quite like doing ones I've done before...because I feel like I know what I'm doing with them. I quite like the pub meal ones, picked up a few of them recently at different locations. I wonder if I won't get those for a while though. Will they only show up if you've not done them before, or for a few months?

    I've done quite a few pub meal ones, but I'm fed up of when you have to pick from the menu list, so gonna give those a miss for a while.

    Really looking forward to tonight's one and it's a couple's visit which is better!
