    HI Emily
    I was thinking about you today... and you PS3 win if your going to sell 2 of the game's why not offer them to you BF for say £50 cause he'd get two cheap game's and you'd be £50 up with out having to pay ebay/paypal fee's... just athought!!

    Hi :D

    My boyfriend doesn't like 2 of the games that come with it so that's why I'm going to sell them. If he liked them then I would let him keep them.

    That's a good idea though, I might ask him if he has got any mates with a PS3 yet and I could flog them that way :o . Or I could ask around at work, thanks for the idea :A

    Woohoo - just got another mystery shopping assignment at a cinema this weekend. I get paid £5 as a fee, £3 mileage and my boyfriend & I can watch the film for free!! (I only get reimbursed for 1 ticket but I've got a disabled cinema card so it's 2 for the price of 1 :D ).

    I've also applied for a mystery shop a bit further away than I would usually go but it's 3 shops on the same day, I get paid £15 for the lot with £10.50 in mileage & £9 worth of free shopping - bargain!!

    I'll be able to wave goodbye to those debts before I know it :D

  • Hi Emily,

    Wow what an inspirastion you are
    I have just read the whole thread...what a lot you have been through
    and what a huge amount you have overcome and achieved.

    A little bit at a time, best way to go if you can and you have.

    Whats AQA....I am intrigued, I like the idea of being paid to shop
    whats involved, do you have to write reports and such.
    Do you have to devote so much time a week or anything.
    Thanks

    Hi :D

    Thanks for your message.

    AQA is Any Questions Answered - I get paid 30p per question I answer, the questions are sent in via text message by customers and I answer them online. See http://www.63336.com

    In mystery shopping, you have to complete an assignment (visit the shop, make a purchase sometimes etc) and then answer the questions that the company ask you about your experiences. It's pretty daunting at first but it gets a lot easier now. You can pick and choose your assignments. There is a mystery shopping thread on the DFW board.

    Good luck :D

    Hi everyone

    I don't often get the time to read through other posts on here (I do try when I get a spare 5 mins though ;) ) but I just did a search of my username (just being nosy!) and I was amazed at the number of other posts I have been mentioned in.

    So thank you to everyone that has posted any kind of praise for me and sorry I didn't thank you directly, you are all so kind and I love being part of this site :A .

    Hi everyone

    I've been so busy recently I haven't posted anything for a while. Here were my goals for last week:

    Sell £100 worth of goods on Ebay. - I sold around £230 worth of stuff on Ebay. I parted with some stuff that I wasn't too sure about selling but I thought well money is better than the items so I went for it and I don't miss them :D
    Reach £300 in my AQA account by the end of the month. - I didn't manage this, I only got to £260 which is ok.
    Get another 3 mystery shopping jobs. - I got another 4 mystery shopping jobs. One I get paid £75 for & it's only a couple of hours work :j

    The others I didn't really manage.

    My goals for this week are:
    1. Get to £180 in my AQA account by Sunday 8th April.
    2. Get another 3 mystery shops.
    3. Sell £100 worth of items on Ebay.
    4. Get to under £900 on my Capital One card.

    I've got a plan for April with regards to AQA. I will get to at least £600 at the end of the month.

    Nothing more to report really :D
