I'll probably get flamed for this knowing the history of this thread but I've made on average probably about £200 per month but between £150 and £350 depending on the work available (and how desperate I was!)

It can be a good income and remember that the £350 months come with a heck of a lot of meals and shopping so it's bumper all around!

Wow, that does give me hope! I'm happy to do at least one a day if I can, and any number at the weekends, so fingers crossed this works for me!:T

Becles, I won't ask more but does RE do this, with grading? I am currently on 463, with 5 jobs and therefore assignments to complete and get points for, so far. How would RE see me in this case then?

I'm not sure how they work exactly.

I did an auditor training course with them and the lady said too many instances of late reports or mistakes that need clarifying would go against you for future audit work, so I would assume the MS work is the same.

Thank you for that...I have had to cancel a couple of assignments this year. I also have had them call me for clarification when the client disputed something I'd said (both times it was because I said something negative). Hope that does not count against me because I did nothing wrong there.

I second that Timmne, it is possible to have fruitfull bumper months.

I've managed to get lots of well paid jobs this month, and so far my net profit for September is £385. Just had a look at my records and I've done 46 jobs so far this month! :eek:

You have both given me real hope that I can use this to get out of my current situation, am also doing Avon but think I'm going to earn about £10 for hours of work, this is much more fun and profitable I think!

OMG Johnny,46 !!!!! well done you! We should rename u super shopper.
I've done 7 this month and I was impressed with myself. My net profit is £100, September has been my best month so far, it was slow to start but has picked up.

I would urge all who are doing the pub jobs with meals to contact the pubs they are to visit before hand, or in someway find out if they indeed serve food. I have a few jobs listed some for drinks only and some for food, the funny thing is, the pubs I am supposed to buy food in, dont and the drinks ones do. Now can this be RE,s way of getting all jobs done on the cheap? The bars who dont serve food are more remote than the ones who do, is this making sense to anybody?

Ooh exciting, TNS application form in post today, and also received message from AQA saying Im eligibe to apply so will give them a try too. Hoorah. I used to MS years ago for 9 different companies, and earned anything up to £450 a month, but it was hard work, with lots of driving around. Its harder these days with more people doing it, fees seem lower, expenses lower all round really.
