    I didn't finish my commitment board either! I read through the matched betting instructions till my head hurt but I don't think I understand it well enough to risk any money yet :( Will try going through it all again this week

    Feeling a bit pathetic really as I didn't do my quidco deal either........ someone kick me!

    mmtwgr if you like I'll do the commitment board posts for the next two weeks as I'm off work so will have some spare time? It's entirely up to you but just thought it would be a little less for you as you seem to do so much already x

    I always worry I come across as a bossy cow, so it would be nice if it was someone else doing it. Then I might get away with the pushy tart syndrome

    munchki : now I know a bit about you so I will be writing this as though I dont know you are a nutty cat lover who likes the strangest toasties :D
    hahahaha, do love my lil miss lol and the strange toasie thing was NOT my idea....still trying to come to terms with that lol

    What do you do in your day job?
    when I had a day job, I worked in Office Management, PA, Sales, Marketing, Event Management and generall all at the same time! that ended in July
    What are your skills?
    I type about 90wpm, good listener, compassionate, love to help, computer literate, dabble with websites and graphics etc, natural sales skills but not fond of boring cold calling but will do it. I am sure there is more, but hard for me to pick myself apart
    What do you think are the most profitable skills ( if you had the pick of all jobs and contacts)?
    Credit Control and Sales
    What are your hobbies?
    Verocious reader, enjoy writing at times, very crafty and will put my hand to about anything to try, anything to do with history, meeting people...
    How much time do you have available?
    well all the time in the world at the moment and none at the same time. Frantically looking for work (over 700 cv's out there everywhere) trying to get more business going etc so a lot of time but little time. Right now rather unfocused as you know, things are about to get worse tomorrow ((still waiting for that tiny miracle lol))
    Do you have any websites?
    I have my own business website, that is it for now
    Do you want to expand on existing things or go in a totally different direction?
    Honestly?? I dont know anymore
    Is there anything about your American connection that you could utilise to your favour in the UK? I'm thinking a Sex in the City style blog ? I think an American up north could be quite a hilarious blog opportunity?
    Not a clue,never really thought about it before. been most places over there, but dunno really.

    Are you creative? Or practical? Or wordy? Or tactile?
    I am all those things and it all depends on what kind of mood I am in!!


    I think you may need to stress to people on here who may be helping you that you need an income source as well as extra cash for this challenge, or is that an unfair assessment? Some people are in full time jobs and need extra, some are SAHM and can do the challenge with financial support from family, some are single parents and need the whole package to survive.

    Surviving, I sometimes wonder lol, been a very long 13 months!

    Thank you so much to everyone that has been sharing bits and pieces, I really do love watching each of us grow!
