    Had to get them to send me them again. as I couldn't find them.
    Thanks for the heads up about the images.

    How long is it taking for each one? I had last weekend set aside for them, now I'll have to fit them in around other work.

    I got it down to about 20 minutes a site - which includes updating the client site and then the RA site.

    Took me ages to work out how to get the photo's down in size - now thats sorted its a bit easier and quicker.

    Can anyone tell me if a non-reimbursed purchase is tax deductible as an expense?
    ie you have to make a large priced purchase say £100. The MSC say its up to you what you then do with it: keep it or return it later for a refund.


    thanks

    Unless it's something you need to purchase for your business, eg a printer.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Ummmmm, might sound strange but how about contacting the MS company and asking them?

    As said, you need to check with the MSC. Otherwise you just risk doing a lot of work for nothing and no pay.

    Are you a new shopper or experienced?

    They are very, very rarely going to have the vehicle in stock, that is the point of the exercise, they want a price for that spec factory built.

    anyone gone to do a job before and it doesn't belong to the company you are meant to check on even though you have gone to the right location but it has changed ownership.

    Bit of a nightmare.

    also if you select a job on MF alot of the others for the same company seem to disappear. In certain cases are you only allowed to do 1 visit

    it seems alot of MS pick up jobs on MF and then cannot fulfill them so I seem to pick up the rejects:rotfl::rotfl:
