All the charity shops around here are closed so I think this is going to have a knock on for resellers on eBay in quite a big way

can’t even go to car boots to restock!

It did stop working for a while when Prolific updated their website, but the developer fixed it and it works again now :)

I downloaded it but still nothing. It’s installed and I’ve been on the computer for hours and not heard a peep lol. Prolific doesn’t like me. Neither does SerpClix :)

Just something that would be worth doing for anyone who has been working for REDWIGWAM and that is to ask them about the government's support for workers. Under the work contracts you have with them they pay your tax and NI so you will be on their payroll (PAYE), this means you should be able to access the money the government is providing to all workers. REDWIGWAM will have to be claiming it for you but it is not going to hurt them in any way and in fact, would make them look fantastic if they did. How much you should be able to access would be hard to say as it is just 80% of wages so if only doing a few jobs that may not be much but every bit helps.

Now I have no idea if this is possible but it seems as if it should be so no harm in asking, I guess if more ask they may do something if not already looking into it.

Disagree with this.

There's no way of knowing if you would have had work at the moment with RWW anyway. The 80% is for employees of business who are about to lose their regular job so the employer can afford to keep them on and keep the business afloat.

The exception would be is if you had booked a months worth of RWW work that has now been cancelled because of Corona. Then I think you would get the 80% compensation.

In fact RWW is likely to have more work available because they have a contract with Morrisons, who are recruiting for temporary workers.

I agree with you in that they have more work available and if I could do it then I would. And if you can access it then I would suggest do it if it is safe to do so. I am not suggesting anyone who has not been working with them or recently to ask, I was saying If you have been working with them regularly and now cannot then why would it not be something that can be asked about? There is nothing wrong with asking and no reason why they cannot ask the questions. The government have outlined areas of support and that covers anyone who can access it. If this is not an avenue that can be sort then so be it but asking is not hurting anyone. I also do not see it as compensation this is support for workers, support that the Government is saying is available.

Most of my extra stuff is dried up. Roamler has pretty much said they won’t be doing anymore tasks unless it’s network. Some how I don’t see me building much display unit. Shepper still have stuff in London but I’m not willing risk going out even if they are paying extra. I still have operator chat but my other half is working from home now so really awkward so I might pack it in. Lol I might start singing at the windows and get the neighbours to pay me to shut up. Worse part is I was meant to start work this week.

Gutted about Roamler. BeMyEye seems to have slowed down too, I’ve done two on BeMyEye today, one of the shops was closed so I don’t know if they will pay me for that.

With uTest I’ve been doing the BBC test every week and made good money but that’s going to finish soon and I’ve got no other tests to do on there :(

I’ve applied for Lionbridge but I’m still waiting. I applied for Cloudworkers and Operador chat yesterday.

I need more because the shopping task apps aren’t going to happen :(

I had an online coaching session this afternoon for a project I am working on and started my prep for some work I am going for. Have another lot of prep for another project to do later or tomorrow and one phone mystery shop to do tomorrow. Have been doing various surveys when they pop up to keep topping up accounts and tonight is match betting casino night, see what offers there are..!!

Contact them and tell them you want the shift but cant do the facial recognition thing. They should be able to help you.
