    I am not working in an office, but have got someone coming to see me at 11am and probably try to catch up with a friend in the pm, and have DS all day :)

    you never answered my question, have you looked at mystery shopping and surveys?

    have you looked at the printable coupons thread? mostly for tescos, as they accept vouchers from other retailers, but people on there do amazing with shopping lists and sometimes we manage to get freebies :)

    Been doing that since I went bankrupt 4 years ago. Can only just keep our heads above water with that.

    Just so much competition out there...:eek:

    both of those as well! Two years is a long time to battle on and now I'm moving for the 2nd time in a year! I just wonder how long it will take me to recover this time?

    Completed two courses, only eligible to do a degree now. Work voluntary as press officer yet can't even get office junior job at minimum wage cos I'm one of150 people!

    I know I'm worrying when I'm still awake at 1am...

    supermum, I have to go to bed now, but I will try to PM you something that is working from home, tomorrow, not one of these rip off companies. They don't often have vacancies, but you can apply to be a standby. If you are interested apply, if not, no worries.

    very quickly before I get dragged to bed, have you checked out old style for cooking tips, and do you look at freebie board for things you can apply for, for free?

    you may think, silly woman, of course I do all that, but not everyone reads all of MSE or wanders around the other boards, and knows that all these exist.

    Have you tried buying stuff dirt cheap at carboots or jumble sales and selling on?
