    Holly, how long dis OC take to come back to you about flights?

    I've just emailed my request!

    Very quickly Sarah. I checked the flights on Fri and emailed straight away. Got a confirmation yesterday to book it. Did that last night and forwarded my confirmation. Get in quick as it is 1st come 1st served. And only 1 MS'er per route. I got Glasgow - Belfast. Quite good as it is only a 45 minute flight and i get the day in Belfast.
    Strangely even for a Sat in July it was £5.84 out and £0.00 back. Taxes etc bumped that up to £61 return.

    Good luck.

    I would have liked that too. Paris mmm. FLF let you do visits in most of Europe and beyond if your doing a trip. You could maybe get a MS in a 5 star restaurant in Paris.
    Unfortunately Glasg - Paris involves a change of flight at Cardiff!!! Easyjet would have suited me better. They do far more flights form Glasgow. Like Prague, or somewhere a bit more exotic than Belfast. ( No offence to any posters from Belfast btw)

    Is anyone else having problems with RE?

    If I click on "Available Assignments", all that shows up is 3 airport jobs

    If I click on "Search for assignments", and put in my town - which is in Kent - I am seeing jobs from all over the country such as Swindon, Liverpool, Sheffield and Exmouth, and and it says they are all less than 10 miles away!!!

    It's new software. According to RE, it should be complete by the end of today.

    Anyone know why Gap post up assignments for days which state: 'No - This assignment has been taken' when you apply? Is there a trick to getting them or is it just to taunt us?

    New software again!!! The seem to forever to be fiddling with their software. Not long ago it was down all weekend and they warned in advance it was because they were installing now software. Soon after I couldn't get a report to submit and they said it was because it didn't yet work with Firefox. A few weeks ago it was showing 2 lots of lines with available assignments.Now the available assignments has gone wonky too.

    They really should feed their hamster.:rolleyes:

    Hiya - I am newbie on here, but I just wanted to say thanks for all your helpful posts on here! You inadvertently gave me the push to sign up to some MS sites. I have now been accepted at grassroots, gapbuster, tns, bare, gfk and have first assignments this weekend!:eek:

    I was going to sign up to RE so if anyone wants to refer me then please pm me.

    Thanks!
