    It's certainly a good source of a little spare cash and vouchers. It's not quite the money spinner certain people would have you believe, however, and realistic earnings unless you take it too far are about £5/week.

    Cheers. Something for the little 'spare time' I have then, rather than a secondary income I can use to support my book habit! ;)

    Evening Ed, had a good Monday?

    Sounds like you have a busy week planned. I need to finish my next assignment for my degree so I will be burying my head in books for the rest of this week me thinks :eek:

    Crap! Major freakout!

    My bosses', bosses' boss was meant to be taking me to a Heads of Profession meeting today but he is sick and has asked me to go on his behalf. What with the social phobia I am not happy :eek:

    I'm not familiar with the content, I'm not qualified to offer comments and I don't know where it is. Oh - and it starts in an hour.
  • lol you'll be fine, don't worry :p

    Actually I spent three hours clenched up with panic, but thanks for asking :D
    How did the meeting go?

    I suppose in the grand scheme of things it wasn't too horrendous as I didn't have to speak much. But I was petrified throughout and felt like I was in a nightmare where I'd ended up in a board meeting where I had to make the big pitch to seal the Johnson account and suddenly everyone was naked :o Thankfully the last part didn't happen..

    I am sure you did a grand job in there :D

    Naked meetings, now they sound a good idea to me :T
