    For the bank name chemist, in the accredtiation questions, does it not get you to agree to buy the product recommended. (Not the case for the footwear/partnership chemist.)

    Yes it does ask you to agree to buy what is recommended.

    Am I going to get fired because I can't get online on the site to get the info to do my job? :( I have been trying for over 2 hours and have googled everything I can to find contact info for them... everything says you have to do it via the website, which I can't get on. :(

    Thanks Hollypear, that's really aprpeciated. I am on all other sites fine, and have tried Firefox and IE. I tried the link in the email for the specific job, and going to the main URL I have bookmarked too. I have tried via google with no luck as well. I even tried emailing the email the tasks are confirmed from, but that bounces back with a note that you can only contact them via the website.....

    Does anybody know whether there are any implications of being a mystery shopper if your on incapacity benefits? I know there probably is just figured it could be a way tto get extra cash

    With PAYE companies, it's fine to earn a maximum of £20 a week with no effect to IB. That said, Mystery Shopping companies that use PAYE are near-non-existent now. :(

    As regards to being self-employed (i.e what one has to be to work for most MS companies) while in receipt of IB (or any other disability/unemployment etc. benefits), I don't know. It's a question I've wondered myself.

    I would work on that instruction, then.

    Klane if you are truly stuck PM me your details and I will contact them for you and say your a friend who contacted me as you can't get on. Are you able to get into all other sites. The other thing is do you log in automatically ie via Firefox password reminder. If so go into Firefox security check the password list. Uncheck it. Then try to manually log in. If you can log into other sites then it is a problem with Gapbuster's site. If you can't log into other sites either get back on here and I'll try and help.

    Hope that all makes sense. Im about to PM you my email addy is that is better for you.

    Hi guys, can I ask what experience people have had with Frontline Focus?

    I have just joined and acceptedf my first job, it looks pretty straightforward, and the fee is higher than I have had from other companies. Am I being paranoid or are they just quite good?! :-)
