    I had e-mail back to say that due to the fact that everyone was trying to log on after the initial e-mail came out it crashed the system but that it would be back up within 2-3 hours - that was yesterday. Been logging on all day but nothing. I thought I wasn't quick enough but it looks as if they just haven;t come back on then. Will check again tomorrow. Just done by first pub/restaurant job - wasn't too bad apart from the fact that there just weren't enought staff!!

    Every time I go into a shop I end up clocking the assistant and noting what he/she looks like lol. Got two more bar/restaurant jobs next week - any excuse not to cook - pity you can't take children!!!

    I went into an off licence this evening which is out of area for me and asked them could they recommend a bottle of wine as I could not find my usual tipple or see any good offers, they were a bit dippy so I said can you make a recommendation what if I was a mystery shopper and then their attitude totally changed, so funny!

    you're not alone, I did the same when I took my dad out last week, they would have been marked down on the toilets! Maybe we are like the police - always on duty :rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy to help too, as I've done about 30 of these!

    Is it something you can post on here openly - like to do with what you can buy or the questions you need to ask or anything?

    Dear god - I've never moved so fast (and that's saying a lot considering I'm coming up on 8mths pregnant lol). As soon as I read your post I realised I had a Post Office job on - and it closed in an hour!!! Thankfully it's only up the road so got there with time to spare. It was my first one but mine was the telephony scenario. Had to spend some money so bought some savings stamps as I'm saving for my car tax. Think that was OK as it did say you could spend your money on savings stamps. Am now going to fill the questionnaire in and recover from my shock. This afternoon will be spent completing my spreadhseet and making sure it is all up to date!!!
