Aplaceinthesun is right I think. 6/4 = you get £6 if you bet £4. You bet £2 so you'll get £3. Plus you get your stake back, £3 + £2 = £5. :-)

Thanks everyone. At least it helps towards the petrol! I'll do the 3rd one on Monday and hope I have 3rd time luck. As Owlet said every little helps!

I've just looked at my spreadsheet, most of the jobs I have done were in negative figures after deducting the mileage because I live in a village and the nearest town was 7 miles away. Just wonder if the tax people would query about it? Would really appreciate for any advice.

Would it help if you took off the costs for your new bath plug and cleaning your moat? :rotfl:

I did a couple fo the the ******* hush hush audity ones - how am I meant to take pictures of something at the front of the store?! Anyways, got to them I swear I could have nicked off with half the food they were so busy!

Have you got a decent camera phone?

I've taken loads of covert photographs in shops. Nobody gives a second glance at someone fiddling with their mobile phone.

I've just done an essay on marketing and wanted pictures of promotions in supermarkets to add to it. I quite brazenly took pictures in some local stores out of curiosity and nobody batted an eyelid!

I think I might need my moat cleaning too - it's getting algae and stuff in it - the crocodiles are getting ill! Also, I need somebody to show me how to look after my pool, then I'll do it for myself - this will "represent value" for the MS companies.

I don't think you should bother with the moat until after your exam, the crocodiles should be ok til Tuesday and as for looking after the pool I know where you can get a plug for 88p and problem solved!

Good luck on Monday by the way, what time is your exam so we can all send you good vibes at the moment you turn over your paper....:j
