  • TBH, I weighed it up last night, and after tax, for what it's worth, i'd be better off staying home at weekends, rather than spending close to 8hrs standing outside in the cold being ignored! As with uploading it works out about £3/hr.
    And at home I'm less likely to get ill from the cold :(

    If your not already registered try having a go at Edigital. Boring but can make quite a few pennies if your greedy like me.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Jen - seriously do not try this. No one from outside Livi has got into BF work today, the M8 is shut and the last I heard the A71 was blocked by a jackknifed lorry.


    Made it there and back roads were fine actually the A71 clear as a whisltle and M8 going my way back home was open.. I got a lot done annoyance was some of the shops shut!

    Oooh get them! The jewellery shops on BARE now have a fee as well as a reimbursement. I'm so tempted to take another 2, but I may just give it a miss.

    Re: GFK, if they have bank visits, I always click on the x at the end to decline them so they no longer show up. I am not doing a bank for them with the measly fee they offer and the ott scenarios.

    Have to say I've never come across a "bank job" - what do you have to do?!

    Usually make an enquiry about one of their products. Maybe wait for a call back. I've done a few and dont mind them. My quickest visit was less than 5 minutes, the longest maybe 30.
  • Bit cheeky of esa to deduct money for photos that aren't up to standard. Mine were too dark but what do they expect at this time of year?! They should either have changed the timeframe of the assignment or conducted this project in the summer!

    I notice that there are a lot of "garage" jobs still showing on ABAI, however I have worked out that the time you pay for the meal deal and drink you would profit after petrol costs about £2.00. Hardly seems worth it, especially since they are not the type of sandwiches etc I would buy anyway and the hot drink is nudging £2.00!

    However am I missing something which would make these worthwhile doing?
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    Procure yourself a balaclava and a weapon (preferably a firearm). Don the Balaclava and secrete the weapon on your person and write down your demands on a bit of paper before handing it to a cashier.

    remember not to write your demands on an old enveloped addressed to yourself.

    Free petrol. Quite a lot of work though I find, usually pick them up if I'll be in the area anyway.
