Renting out our camper van
Hi we have a VW camper van and I have been considering the possibility of renting it out when we are not using it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of doing this, know an easy way if doing it, and understand the details of any special insurance needed etc. Thanks very much in advance.
AMP App (amp.ipsos.com)
My wife answered the door the other day to a gentleman discussing an app called AMP. It's part of Ipsos MORI. He said we just needed to install the app from the website amp.ipsos.com or App Store . Enter the unique ID number he gave us then answer/interact with the app regarding if we (I mainly) read newspapers and/or…
Crew Machine
Has anyone tried Crew Machine? It seems similar to Greatcontent or Textbroker but there does seem a catch that you may get a reduced payment or no payment at all depending on how well your work is judged by your client. The piece I did was quite easy to do, not sure on how much I will get paid yet.

Hi, I live in London, and let me tell you something: it's INCREDIBLY expensive here! I guess it's the same for people who live in cities such as NYC, Paris or Tokyo. I work in advertising and make a decent income, and yet it's sometimes hard for me to pay the bills. So I had to think very hard to find new ways to make…
Top Cashback Summer Treats
Just noticed that Top Cashback are running the Summer Treats Cashback Giveaway, just like before you have to find the hummingbirds. Total prize fund is £12500! Has anyone got it to work? I am sure today's clue is Boohoo but no hummingbird is appearing for me. :(
Tried to boost income - where to sell what I brought?
Hi, I'm new to all of this but was just looking for some help. I bought a full facial kit. Me and my partner were going to try and open up a little salon and offer facials, it never happened. Does anyone know where I could sell any of this stuff because I don't want to lose money. Thanks in advance 👍🏻
Buying a static caravan as an investment?
Hi, I wondered if anyone had ever done this, say bought a caravan at a top site like a Haven. I know the fees are about £6k per year and the caravans are about £25k and need replacing every few years or so but could you make money on the rental of them? I've always fancied one but not sure if you can make money on them.…

Food panel tester
I have just signed up with Wirral Sensory Services who run food testing in the Wirral and Watford for supermarkets and food manufacturers.

Setting up non-perishable food distribution... food law?
Hello, I'm looking to st up an online business from home that would basically involve food distribution and packaging.

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I refund the postage fee?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I recently sold something on eBay and the buyer paid for postage. When I saw their address, I realised they lived around the corner from me so I might as well hand-deliver the item. Should I refund the postage cost or keep it? Unfortunately the MSE team can't always answer…
Pay rise
I've got a new job at work they've offered £1500 a year more as a pay rise. I was expecting more than this - given that its around £120 a month more but after tax much less. AIBU? Should I ask for more?
Ways to earn Nintendo e-shop vouchers online?
