    £46 in fees booked for the coming week and it's only Monday-nice mix too couple of banks, couple of bookies , a music shop, a meal (with fee) and a phone one so far this month. Maybe it's the time of year when MS budgets are plentiful ? So if all goes to plan by Friday it'll be £46/£100 for me for May.

    April only managed £750 in cash and £500 in freebies, but this month should be good just took on £656.00 only to see the price increase by £262 then took on another 29 £1450.00, but the hours are long and the work is in another country which means I have over 3500 mile's to drive but the end result I should make a profit not a big one when you take the cost off but enough to make this a good month. I must point out that this is a full time job to me and a typical day can be as long as 14 hours including filling the reports and sorting out the routes but I am a shopaholic so what better job is there?

    For those kind of hours you're right April wasn't a good month your hourly rate is horrible -do you factor petrol and depreciation into your profit?
    Glad May is looking better for you too-hopefully it's a trend we can all benefit from :)

    Quite right too :) And more fun
    I do it as a "third" job -the other two are based at home and I don't drive so it limits me a bit but it's amazing some weeks what can be packed in around the other commitments without travelling too far especially once you get a few assignments under your belt from a variety of companies.

    I've now got enough going on that I've needed to set up an on-line meetings scheduler so I don't doublebook myself

    Had a busy day, but not too frantic, so that's good. Have done a catalogue shop, record shop, bookies, pizza place and bank. So made another £37, plus a meal out and a DVD for my son. He was very pleased. :j
    Shame my horse didn't win though. :mad:
