Loved up doesn't even begin to describe it. My GF was annoyed when I said "my iphone will be 41 days old when we get married"

It actually does poach eggs, too. (well, you know what I mean.)

Oh noooooooooo

So in true MS fashion whats the best deal on them, and is there really a need for the 16gb one, they guy told me the 8gb would store something like 250 albums:eek:

Its the 8gb I want - and I think that would be ample for me tbh as I have an ipod too.

I'm sooooo not with it. No ipod, no iphone, no laptop, no pdf...no skype, no facebook...

you'll probably all shun me after that confession...

Anyhow can someone clarify TNS allowances please? Without mentioning fees or companies, they have a cafe and a restaurant on. The cafe says you will be reimbursed up to x for the drink. Does this mean if the drink costs half of x you only get half of x? If you but 2 drinks will you get all of the amount known as x? Or can you get all of x if you buy a cake and a drink to the value of x or a bit over x? Sorry if this is cryptic but people have got told off for posting costs on here.

The restaurant says you can get x but if you go over x or if someone else eats with you or you go over x they will only pay your meal. Does that mean if you both eat up to x or just over they won't give you x and will only pay for your part of the meal even if it's much lower than x? I hope not, cos that seems really stingy especially for an evening job when I feel you look conspicuous dining alone anyway. It's not even as if x is that high imho.

anyone still with me?

Here's a question [mainly to the other guys] what do you do to stop yourself looking really suspicious when your assignment requires a visit to the loo and you don't need to go!

Stand there, flop it out and just say "bloomin' prostate..." every so often.

Seriously, if there is a cubicle I head for that and scribble down a few notes if I need to, or just stand there and adjust my belt a few times so it sounds like something is going on (in a non-dodgy way).

If there's no cubicle then maybe just wash my hands or throw away any litter in my pockets.

Nope, the wine has taken me far, far away :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes I do get you but I don't know the answer sorry :rolleyes: I have had conversation emails with TNS staff way into the night before so you could give that a go!

Hiya

Sorry if this has been asked before. Would doing MSing have an affect on your tax credits?

I have two part time jobs (not self employed) which dont add up to much, would I still be able to do something like this seeing as its classed as self emplyed?

Thanks
