Hi all

I have similar issues with Bare. I apply for lots of jobs but don't get many. I also find it frustrating that you have to wait so long for a decision on whether you are successful.

However I have got a first class flight to LA to look forward to.

Cheers Paul

Oh, lucky you! I haven't done enough work for them to get flights yet, but this is the route I'm hoping to get when I have

What was the shortest time you could be away for? I wouldn't want to go for too long now you have to travel alone.

How many jobs do you have to do before getting a flight from Bare?

vanny_v

Are bare the only company that do flights?.

I applied when they showed up - I had done 1 job for them at the time but my average score is 9. They have sent me emails about ones available which they havent filled so I think you can get them if your score is high enough. Unfortunately the dates were completely wrong for me - I was hoping for Oz if I quickly did tons of work to pay for a hotel for me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi
quick question please.
I read a few posts back that you can claim £3 per week as household expenses on your tax return. So does that mean for may I can put down £13.28 (i.e £3.00 divided by 7 times 31days)

thanks

Not sure where £3 came from but AFAIK you can claim reasonable costs assosciated with running your business. If, say, you use your spare room as an office for MS work then you coud claim an approriate proportion of your heating & electricity costs for that purpose. Same goes for the internet; if you used, say, 50% of your internet time for MS work then it may be fair to claim 50% of your internet bill as an expense.

I would have thought it was easier to do it for a whole year at a time, since you only need to do a tax return once a year? One year = 52 weeks, so £156 for the year?
