can I ask a question about RE? I signed up a week or so ago, but so far have had no assignments, and can't even see any assignments available when I search for them in other areas. Is there something obvious that I haven't done or do they just not like me?

I would do a search for London as if there are no jobs then I would email them! As there is usually work there! (just checked and there is loads)

Thanks Leia, I'll drop them a line as nothing is showing up in London either.

Just spoke to RE and they said it might be because a) I've said I don't have a prescription b) I'm still probationary and quite a few companies don't allow probationary shoppers and c) I'm in Liverpool which is apparently very competitive for jobs. So I just have to keep checking to see whether there are any jobs that a newbie like me is allowed to do so I can lose the probationary status.

Or I guess I could make up some illness and get the GP to give me a prescription

I tried to add London to my areas on RE yesterday and it would only allow me to put 'within 10 miles', not 50 miles, which I wanted to put, in the hope it would capture all these telephone jobs people are talking about.

Any ideas?

Took me weeks to find an assignment. They were all bar jobs to be done in the evening. Eventually got an underground sandwich job that came up and that got me off probationary. Just keep checking every day if you can. Check the Alerts thread as well because that's a good source of when new jobs are posted x

Blindman, the majority of people on here are helpful but you are probably the only one who can accurately be described as a "see you hen tea".

If you cant be nice, go do some £8 reimbursement for a £10 spend gap jobs or something and not ruin the ambience on here.

If you want to reply, PM me, I'll ensure it's ignored.

LTD there's always the option of "ignoring" someone - just click on their name, go to their profile and click on "Add user to ignore list" (or something).

That's what I have done with certain posters

I was just starting to curse you thinking what you had done to get paid LOL. If GYP say I'll get paid on the 28th - does that mean money in the account on the 28th or a few days for the BACS to clear? Any ideas?
