    AQA is Any Question Answered. The website is http://www.63336.com and you work from home answering questions people send from their phone. You answer through software on your PC/lappy and they get the answer back. Questions can be on anything (and ARE on anything - you have to be broad minded!) other than illegals stuff.

    Payment is 30p per question and on a busy Friday, you can earn around £15 per hour. During the week day though, things are much slower and some days earning the equivalent of the minimum wage is hard.

    I've been with them 2 years now. It used to be a lot easier to earn more but it's getting harder, more rules to follow mean they are squeezing every ounce of us before we earn the 30p.

    I did it full time for nearly a year after being made redundant and I do it part time now to make up the rest of my income on top of my part time job. It's self employed also.

    I'd love to be in a position where I could just do a couple of hundred each month to put away or use for holidays/presents etc but that's not possible at the moment.

    Toto - he is, isn't he!!! I'm keeping everything crossed - it was great to see him go into second place.

    Have to say the whole baby thing is like a different world to me!!

    Hmm - that's not really going to fit in with a full time job I guess. I'll stick to survey websites and pigsback for pocket money for now.

    Might keep it in mind for if i decide to go part time after the Bean arrives and we've moved. Part time not an option until we've got a deposit together, cleared debts and got some savings in the bank.

  • Morning all,

    I start my new part-time bar job this evening *eek*

    I have done bar work before, but it's never easy starting a new job.

    lucifa - you can do whatever hours you want, day or night. Some AQA'ers just do a small amount and some do it full time.

    Making a decent amount of money (I'm talking £1000 or so before tax) each month means working full time plus weekends but once up to speed, you would probably average £8 or so an hour.

    Morning everyone!

    I have voted for your gorgeous pup again Keren. He is not far behind! I will get OH to from his pc too if he can.

    Nappies - I use a bit of a mix with Elliot depending how on top of the housework I am :o the only downside I find with reusables is that he is a pretty big baby and they don't make clothes for big cloth bums! So he goes up a size and then I roll the trouser legs up... poor sausage.

    Well I have fantastic news today, my OH passed his driving test this morning :T :T :T I am SO proud of him and can't wait to be able to go out for the day as a family. Mine is next month... :eek: Anyway I am going to make [strike]myself[/strike] him a coconut and lime cake to celebrate :T:T:T
