PETROL, no-one mentions it. We had a big increase in the new year and now set for massive hikes yet fee's are decreasing, I really am thinking to stick local now. also I do suggest people to consider this now for your own profits. For example there are people going 20 miles plus to take a job 4 miles from me.

I'm with misssarahleigh here regarding the lack of work, and that jobs on R.E go within a flash, honestly people are pouncing for them to appear. Really tough now. Got a supermarket audit and two Egg jobs tomorrow. Been a quiet week though, plenty of alerts hardly nothing for me and no phone calls to me either.
Please share your views.

Yes really dire here too. Only a phone call, a lunch with no profit and a supermarket next week. Lucky to earn £15 whereas I use to rely on £100+ per week with MSing.

I'm stressed, tired, and I really feel for those of you who do this full time. I've done it "full time" on my holiday this week to make some extra cash and honestly, I've been getting up at 6 am, working til 8pm and writing reports until 4am. I don't know how you do it! :A:beer::A

2 hours sleep? No good for you, there must be a better way to earn extra cash. Your main job will start to suffer if you keep on burning the candle at both ends and scorching the middle.

Yeah I know I just wanted to go full steam ahead and make as much as I could. Shouldve known better really, I did two years in a nightclub 4 or 5 nights a week and regularly found myself asleep at my desk. And the hallucinations are interesting as well, especially when you're driving

Anyway its back to real life next week so I'll cut back to only doing jobs at the weekends. But seriously, anyone who does this full time has my utmost repect and admiration. Doing the odd job at a weekend or in my lunch break does not compare!!!!

On a serious note, that's a major cause of road accidents. Drifting off. I'm not even sure full-timers work 22-hour days. I'd be focussing on quality of job, not quantity if I was in your position. By that, I mean one well-paying job is way better than lots of poorly paid ones. It's is a case of choosing your companies well. Given what you've written elsewhere, I'd also be concentrating on getting better feedback and fewer queries. You sound really bright, it's worth focussing for a while on working smarter, not longer.

I'm off work for a week as well - start my new job on 7 March - and I've done the same as you. I've filled my week up with loads of jobs and I know I'm going to be exhausted by the end of it!! Fair play to all those who do this full time :T

After seeing the bookies jobs on RE for years, I finally took the plunge and took a couple.

I'm so nervous about these, I've never even done the lottery before, was wondering if I could drop in to the conversation that it was a "30 things to do before I'm 30" type challenge to put a bet on so I don't look really out of place?

Full on test?! Pricing and promotion data for a couple of lines is "full on"?! :eek:[/Q


Well maybe "full on" is a slight exaggeration, but it is most certainly more than a couple of lines! I have two tests, the instore one, as I don't know the 30+ items will take a while.

This is done without knowing potential fees etc, if someone would like to enlighten me I would be grateful to get a PM.

Yeah, like I said it was only a short term experiment

And the drifting off was the reason I gave up the club work

I said I was doing it for my neighbour and didn't have a clue- the girl was really helpful.
