Cheers CMD.. Do you do the AQA thing? I read about it earlier and got the application form, I just didn't follow through with it. Is it worth doing? Did I read you get 30p (I think) for an answer or something like that.... how many do you receive in an hour.
It might be something for me to do on a Fri / Sat night when baby is in bed.

Hi Lozza,
Yes, I do AQA. You can log on and off as much as you want and when you want. It is 30p per answer. There is should be a thread on it in 'Up Your Income' section.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Hi CAFCGirl,

Hello to everyone else. Have just come back from Barcelona (birthday treat). I was very good and didn't buy anything there which is very restrained for me! It was so nice there yesterday and the way of life is so relaxing....
Ah well, back to reality now and paying money off the debts! Am so de-motivated though. How is everyone else today?Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947
