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.

learning_to_drive,

I think this post is totally out of order. There's no need to resort to offensive language. Would you dare say that to him face to face?

Blindman is actually very helpful & has been posting advice on the mystery shopping threads for years.

I can't believe that two people actually thanked your post calling another moneysaver an offensive name.

RE also emailed to say new jobs had been released. I'm glad they do email, as I'd given up checking their site

I have never had an email from them saying they have put new jobs up!!!

Yes.

Maybe we haven't all had the same experience as you have?

Just got a sport shop job with RE. There were quite a few in my area. Not sure of other areas though but may be worth a look. I do get quite a few e-mails from TNS asking if I can do jobs. It's good as sometimes there not listed on the job board.

OK - any bets on how long its going to take me to input my spreadsheet details now my computer is working again - got to go back to May - oh the joy!! Was going to scan it but it scans as Adobe and I can't add to it. Maybe I'll just go and watch the telly instead hmmm.

What are you like - at least I can blame my hormones for eating my brain cells lol

I'm blaming it on stress. My Mam has been round and I'm such a bad mother... blah....blah.....blah :rolleyes:

I had two emails off GR today and both times I logged in and there were actually jobs there :eek: I can't take the excitement and I think I'd better go for a little lie down now.

Just my luck I had an e-mail yesterday and when I logged on the job was still there but it was Mon-Wed next week - I go back to work on Monday (albeit only for a few weeks though before I start my hols and then maternity leave!)

Did you get your phone jobs done?

Yes I did thanks.

Another great call where the automated booking system didn't understand me and then I got through to real person with a foreign accent who didn't understand me either :rolleyes:

How long have you go to go until baby arrives?

Do you mean experience of mystery shopping?

Or do you mean experience of Blindman?

I have bucket loads of experience as a mystery shopper which I'm more than happy to share (as you well know, seeing as I pm'ed you with some helpful info a few weeks ago).

My experience of Blindman (on both this & other forums) is that he is an experienced mystery shopper, he's helpful, he speaks his mind, he can be a little blunt sometimes & he's one of the good guys.

I don't think anyone deserves to be called what you called him on a public forum, hiding behing the anonymity of your computer screen.

It seems that many people post on this thread asking for advice & someone will always come along & give them the answer they want to hear. If anyone dares to post 'the wrong answer' they get branded as unhelpful.
