Sorry - Its Symphis Pubis Disorder. Your pelvis, legs, hips etc become swollen and inflamed and it makes it agony to move and walk.

Hello Timmne, its Symphysis Pubic Disorder - correct me if I'm wrong - where a point in the middle of your pubic bone screams with agony and seizes you up due to pregnancy hormones relaxing the area, which is in an area known as the 'vulnerable midline'. The hormonally relaxed area means thing don't always work together as they used to. A variation is Sacro-Ilial disorder which is when one buttock goes numb then screams with pain and you can't walk. Again due to relaxing hormnes messing with your usual set-up! I had SID on my third pregnancy - no fun at all.


Is that enough information for you????;)

This is why men could never be pregnant - they couldn't put up with the side effects!!;)

Having said that; I applied to SC ages ago and got ignored after sending in my test shop!

Storecheckers are good to work for in that they are professional (unlike e.g. GAP), helpful if you phone/email them, pay regularly and on time, pay travel and their greatest asset, in my opinion, is they use PAYE.

That said, the extensive narrative report (essay!) they require and the minute-detailed, repetitive questionnaires take an absoltely ridiculous amount of time to complete.

You're welcome, Timmne, though I don't usually give female biology lessons on the net:o

Back to the banks...

Jonny cl, daisy doll, princess leia, olivia buck and learning 2 drive. We all seem to have done the same job here and I totally agree - with so many jobs going on twice, the poor folk at the bank must be overrun with fake enquiries. In my area about 7 went on, I did my local, but the others went undone. The other 6 have just been date extended and now another for each area has gone on. You can now do up to 4 but I've not got toddler child minding for the next fortnight so I can't do any more! I think the staff should be able to deal with the enquiry regardless, because loads of people have their toddlers with them, but I understand it's a request for this scenario.

For a payment of only ten times your fee, I will walk into the stamp shop wearing a clown costume, and do three somersaults. For an extra £10 I will carry a clock and let you take my picture.

I trust you understand the importance of timings and will be using a digital clock for the assignment

I've just cancelled a Stamp Shop assignment because of the ridiculous scenario it's asking me to go through. I'd either look as though I needed men in white coats to come and get me, or I might as well have written mystery shopper in permanent marker on my forehead.

Oh well, there's probably other assignments out there

Sounds like the one I did the other day...I was just so glad it was some way from home and I didn't see anyone I knew..but there was a long queue building up behind me, all listening to this ridiculous string of questions...shan't do one of those again!!

I've just done one of these - I was a newly-employed car-owning bereaved person. The guy was very nice and I don't think he realised......however I could see the reflection of queuing customers in the glass and their expressions kept me amused!

I did my four bank jobs this morning and have picked my unusual things as specific problems I heard staff discussing or I've picked up on the descriptions of ther customers.

I think that was Too Much Information for poor Timmne

Just seen that I got 8/10 and 'Good report' for the shop I did yesterday :cool:
