Bye y'all I am off for a new mobile phone ( again!) I think I now know as much as the mobie shops about them. Another daft scenario of paying up to £40 a month on PAYG so why would you not take a contract and save half that every month. Well ours is not to reason why.:rotfl:

Have a reason ready, like you've got a really bad credit rating or you don't want to be tied into a contract as you're moving abroad in November or something like that

Just a note for everyone doing GFK train ticket jobs - make sure you get the tickets in the post to them as soon as they arrive. They need the tickets back by the 17th June in order to pay you this month.

Also check that you enter the prices properly with all the leading zero's. I made a mistake last time and was underpaid as they thought a £92 ticket cost £9.20

I totally feel for you Hollypear - I am suffering badly with hayfever. I did a load of the hayfever pharmacy jobs so am stocked up with tablets but as I'm trying for a baby and **might** (:D ) be pregnant I can't take any!! Roll on the end of the month and I can check if I am or not, then can have another 2 weeks taking them!

Fingers crossed for you SJ

My oldest daughter has hayfever really badly too - had to give her a double dose this morning - otherwise she won't be able to see anything all day!

With the GFK train ticket jobs, when you receive 2 single tickets for a return journey(1 person), do you enter 2 seperate tickets on the questionaire?

Can anyone who shops for ABAi give me a hand? Im registered but whenever I try to find assignments it always says "no visits currently exist" for both open and booked visits and whether I try local or other. I dont know if Im doing something wrong!

I just had an email from them asking me to do a clothes shop urgently but I cant find it (or anything else) on the site. I have emailed about that specific job but am confused as to why I can never see anything!

Can someone shed any light on this? Pm me if you prefer.

Thanks

I've just joined TNS and put in my area and there are no jobs in the next few months, so I did a search nationwide, and still no jobs, so I'm now thinking that I'm not doing it properly, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong pls? TIA

long shot maybe but make sure you havent ticked the "urgent visits only" box when you search. I've been playing around with it and this is the only way I can get it to say that there are NO jobs.

Gosh, you are helpful and smart, Becles, I confess I just read Holly pears post and laughed!!!:rotfl:

Hollypear, how come you done so many bingo jobs; I thought you could only do two in this wave and then up it to 4 with their competitor clubs? Have you won anything? I actually won the national game (prize £60k) but clearly wasn't the overall winner since my in house prize was £15!!! So near yet so far!

Fingers crossed Sarah Joanne. I actually developed hay fever for the first time ever with my second pregnancy in 2001.

Easy learning to drive- I am still currently writing up a car shop that was supposed to be two visits across five days. That was four weeks ago and after three visits and three phone calls to the branch involved - as well as a trillion emails to the ms company - I am atlast beginning to fill out the questionnaire. Which in itself is a joke as the survey does not allow for the saga response that I have!:mad:

All of this for a fee, which had appeared fair at first, but now just seems measley for the giant headache this ms has been!

My psychic skills are spot on again, cookinmummy, I just had a feeling that this was a bum deal so didn't go for any. Actually I'm starting to feel on the whole that TNS don't pay enough. You won't believe how long it took me to fill in the report for coffee and cake on a reimbursement (no fee) job:mad:
