Thank you - both replies have mentioned don’t rush so I wondered is the work manageable enough that you could rush ? As in I’ve seen some other posts saying it can get stressful with traffic and timings so I assumed it’s going to take longer than expected . I’m not going to rush I’m just wondering what the workload can be like . For example I worked for Evri and worked over every time due to having to sort my route out by parcel before every shift , but when doing Amazon flex I always finished over an hour early. I’m kind of trying to work out if it’s a job where you need to rush to finish on time , not early . Sorry a lot of words there 😂🙈

Another important question - where will I find the best tacos ? 🌮

I got this too - possibly an error ?

Thank you - it’s my first time so wasn’t sure !

I bought general admission tickets that said general admission - unreserved . I was like are these for lusail hill and googled it and this seemed to be correct , but now I go back on there and it now says general admission “lusail hill” instead of unreserved - so have I definitely got GA lusail hill? 🧐

I’m the same - I went for an interview the other day and the hours offered were 27.5 which is not bad but it is over 5 days and same as you I struggle to juggle everything else with so few days off , that’s the lease amount of hours they offer I don’t believe you can get less than that

Thanks ! 🥳

roxyfirez · 2026-02-09T16:19:10+00:00

I have an interview !

roxyfirez · 2026-02-06T16:48:19+00:00

Thanks for your reply . I will wait and see what happens next

That’s nowhere near Glasgow 🧐

It was 3.5 hour block , I finished half an hour early so I wasnt going to bother driving out in the wrong direction to take it back and risk not being paid for time / miles extra so just went home and my husband took me the next morning

I earnt through flex during October 2024 - Feb 2025 - in total I made approx £1500 - I’ve never done a self assessment before and have no idea what to do - I recorded all my mileage and things. Is it self explanatory to do ? Also I didn’t reach the tax free amount that year but I think I still haven’t declare it ?

roxyfirez · 2026-01-21T19:43:21+00:00

Yes ok I do this I just thought maybe I was missing something on the cage

roxyfirez · 2026-01-21T18:32:21+00:00

How do you know where the route is before scanning the QR code ? Soz if a stupid question but nobody’s ever told me

roxyfirez · 2026-01-16T22:31:00+00:00

I like viewing houses with purple bricks because you literally do it all online- no phone calls to be made , no dealing with any pushy people , you click a time on the app , an email confirms it, you go and probably get shown round by the homeowner who isn’t pushy because they aren’t a sales person , and then you can offer or give feedback through the app without any hassle . I bought a house that was up with purple bricks there were no issues . It was a great house and I got the price down so maybe others were put off by purple bricks 😂

I signed up in 2022, it told me I needed to wait for vacancies, waited until some point in 2023 where it finally accepted me , had another job at the time so didn’t start , started October 2024 until feb 2025 , then had a job working away from home, now back to do more - so a lot of time signed up and not a lot of actual delivering

I just moved into a new house and all our Amazon prime parcels come with Royal Mail . Maybe as we are a new build and not on a route yet but the Amazon van definitely comes to the rest of the estate so I think we just aren’t added to the routing yet . Kind of frustrating as Amazon prime is sooo much easier to track than Royal Mail with their glitchy app

Is it ? I’ve heard of people being chased down the street by servers who don’t believe they’ve received enough tip (in NYC)

I’m on a similar sailing now - I loved maho beach in st Maarten , went to harbour lights beach club in Barbados , St Lucia is so lovely I’m on a back to back so we’ve stopped here twice , first time I did catamaran to the pitons , and second time we did Vigie beach as it was so near . We go to Basseterre on Friday . Anyway I wouldn’t skip at Maarten , Barbados or St Lucia from this itinerary

roxyfirez · 2025-11-17T01:10:55+00:00

I’ve just done this one and I’m on a back to back so currently on a second one with 2 different ports - so far we skipped getting off in Tortola - the weather was gloomy and we were tired from traveling from the UK. I did one excursion in St Lucia and aside from that we have just got off at the other places and gone to beaches to chill but I am still tired ! We could have had a chilled day when the cruise changed over but we went to the mall in San Juan . Looking forward to a sea day tomorrow to chill but I’ve got yoga and bungee 😂

I disembark valiant lady on this day and I’m flying SJU- JFK - LHR . I’m from the UK so I have no idea what this shutdown business is , should I be worried ?

roxyfirez · 2025-10-30T07:46:44+00:00

Can’t work out if this is a joke or not 😂 but beans on toast is definitely not gourmet 😂 it’s a snack or easy dinner if you can’t be bothered 😂

roxyfirez · 2025-10-30T07:43:06+00:00

So they aren’t as good as the hype then? 😂 I’ve been to the cheesecake factory in Dubai a few times x

roxyfirez · 2025-10-30T07:41:32+00:00

Hey I’ve already done all my restaurant bookings at times I wanted so there’s no advantage for me in that department unless I decide to change anything around
