    Hi everyone :wave:

    Hope everyone is well today? Spent this morning applying for my open university degree, only worked up the courage to do it today so hopefully if all goes well I start my business degree in May! Have to get some forms signed for the funding which has really left me feeling lost where to go or who to ask but I'm sure it will all fall in place.

    Really must tackle things to ebay and get organised with it, and do some reviews on dooU in a bit.

    Hope everyone is getting on well today x

    I am studying my early years degree with them, half way through this part and got one more left, i love being able to do it at home, one of the parents I childmind for writes maths courses for universities and actually got work returned from OU as it was too easy!! The material I have always found is very good quality and the tutors are excellent, good luck with it :j

    Thats brilliant about the studying, I'm doing a business degree with them, which courses have you signed up for?

    if your on benefits - the job centre can do the forms for you, I got mine done at school, the headmaster did it for me.

    Doctors can sign it, but most will charge. xx

    I have signed up for the business degree too :jStarting with an introduction to business studies. I did business studies in high school and managed an A so hopefully the first few wont be too bad.

    How fab! I will no doubt be able to ask you knowledgable advice if I get stuck then :D

    Thanks for the advice, I was going to get the head mistress of a school I used to work at to sign it but tbh I think I will just get the jobcentre to do it.

    Thank you so much for your advice, yesterday I was feeling so low I felt like quitting already as finding people to sign these forms seems an impossble challenge but now I have my mojo back :)

    I think so. In a way they are discriminating against MSE users - we have recommended the site to each other - that is in no way collusion so if anyone is breeching their t&C its actually BP.

    And, how does Martin feel about someone looking through these threads specifically to throw people off other websites?

    Mentioning no names but a couple of CMs on bp have the same name as on here so perhaps they should be banned off here for oganising a coilition against the mse users who are in the majority honest people who are being slandered.

    I have taken it upon myself to email the sites advertising on the rebel site to tell them i wont be joining because of the dishonesty involved

    Update on the saga for h$%^ on ebay.

    I have appealed my case to ebay that many times that they have now paid me for said item. As the emails I were sending were sent in fact statements, polite to the point, and i have nearly 600 positives and they had 11. They point out next time it happens i will have to have more evidence, so I will continue selling but i will be photographing and marking everything, and be taking photos at the PO handing over parcels .....:D

    thank you Susan, I started a diary on the DFW board- how do i link to there from here :s I think you can look through my profile and look where I posted last?

    still catching up with the thread - sorry to hear that so many of you are having trouble with that site, I hadn't joined it but was on my to -do list - might not bother tbh if they are causing so much grief for you all. Hope you can get your vouchers/points back.

    Good luck with the moneymaking everyone :)

    I love the idea of being able to study from home, as I wouldn't be able to otherwise with youg children. Do you find it easy to fit it in around family life? I'm a little concerned it will be very demanding and take over but I guess if you never try you will never succeed.

    Feeling a bit happier today after the events of a questionable site of bad ethics antics, apart from the fact they need muzzling it wouldn't be overly hard to change your IP address and details but then who am I to question their intellectual capacity. I am very close to payout with ipsos, just need one more survey to redeem, but I find they are far and few between but hopefully will happen this month.

    Wondering if there is anything artsy and crafty I can do to bring in some extra money as it's getting a little mind numbing sitting in front of a computer clicking away :rotfl:

    Has anyone heard of that magazine where you can learn to knit? The first on is 99p and contains the needles and some wool/yarn/string (can you tell I'm not clued up?!!) Really fancy getting into something crafty and take my makes to a car boot or something
