    They are really quite easy, especially if you found no problems. Comments are limited to just 255 characters so I find my time is spent thinking of ways to condense what to say.

    Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about whether it is ok to take a child on an assignment. For one of the assignments I contacted the ms company to ask and they have said it is fine to take my child along so that is good news.

    go.on.smile - I think my other assignment might be the same as yours. In my notes I also have the comment about being able to a pushchair through.

    I am happy that I can undertake these assignments correctly with my child present. If I wasn't sure that I could, then I wouldn't accept the assignment.

    I am grateful to everyone for their thoughts on the subject. :D

    Hi all!

    Another question from me :j

    On RE I notice that it says if you upload a photo you can do some jobs which require a photo ID badge made up - are there many of these? Is it worth me uploading one?

    I've had mine on there since I registered, but nothing has ever come where I needed one. I wonder if you need them for RE audit work? There has not been any RE audit training near me for me to attend yet.

    A quick tip for those booking MS flights online. Use a cashbhack site - I got £1.60p from GreasyPalm when I booked online. Not much, but that is about the normal cashback rate on flights.

    Hi Paul, thanks for the tip :beer:

    do you pay out for the flights first and get reimbursed like you do for other jobs?
    TIA:o
