Yes, I averaged 2 per hour with these ones. Some of the others have been as low as 1 success every 2.5 hours. Needless to say it was a quick learning curve for me.

Thanks to other poster who mentioned it being free on BT; I should think it's a bit better when not having to pay for the calls.

Thanks for that johnny, I'm definately decided now. I will email tomorrow and ask to be taken off the list. I'd rather do a couple of burger jobs :eek: - OMG did I really say that and mean it ?????

Hello everyone. *wave*

Honestly, I go away for a day for an exam and you create like 15 pages for me to read... can't trust you lot with anything clearly :P

I was very pleasantly surprised when my balance had gone up substantially when I logged into my online banking earlier... didn't even realise it was pay time! :P

Hi jdan, How did the exam go? Fingers crossed for you! I was mightily relieved that it's pay time. MS does temporarily deplete my bank account - I didn't realise how much was outstanding until I totted it all up yesterday :eek:

I thought it went very well - but I appeared to be in the minority. It was a subject most people think is very very hard but I personally have always found it straightforward.. oh well.

MS really messes about with my bank balance, especially as being a student I don't have much in it really anyway. But free student overdraft can cover it, it doesn't really come out of my own pocket as such, which is good.

I have two queries I'm hoping someone can help me with.

Firstly, I've been paid by Bare for an assignment I conducted last month. They paid me in Euros via Paypal. I'm afraid to withdraw this to my bank account in case I get lumbered with a huge conversion fee (as I invariably will). Does anyone know how I could convert it into ££ on Paypal.

Secondly, I conducted an opticians assignment for a certain company recently. It's a fast vision store (not a fast optical one) and I got a voucher for £80 off a second pair of specs. Obviously I've had to return the previous pair I acquired through the mystery shop. Equally, I had to use a different address for the mystery shop. I still have the voucher and a copy of my prescription. Does anyone know if I can go to a different fast vision store and use the voucher with the prescription I have? Despite it not being my real address?

Did you try searching Paypal's help sections at all?

How do I transfer funds between balances?


Question : Answer : You can convert a portion of your balance or all of your balance from one currency to another currency. Here's how:

1. Log in to your account.
2. Click the My Account tab.
3. Click Currency Balances under the Financial Information column.
4. Click Convert.
5. Enter the required information.
6. Click Calculate to preview PayPal currency conversion results.
7. Click Continue to accept the conversion.
8. Confirm the transfer by clicking Convert.

Just checked out those instructions myself... they are slightly wrong. But they were copied and pasted from paypal's help section!

Between 2 and 3, you need to click Profile.

Thanks! Got it sorted, although the exchange rate was crap!

Anybody noticed the Think 21 jobs have changed into Think 25 jobs now? Does that mean I have an extra four years to be able to do them in?
