2007 Olympic Challenge

I'm joining in and running for bronze! I didn't hear the gun go off a month ago. Oops. But I've already started selling my books on amazon.

How do I get started on the mystery shopping and focus group thing?

Hi all,
This week a little better. Have got a tax rebate (it's so nice when they give you something back isn't it!) of £99.66 so I am including this. :j :j Also just received first £10 gift voucher from pigsback. My plan is to use these towards Christmas presents and save what I would normally put away. Sold a few things on Ebay, will add to my total when I have worked out fees and postage.
I am waiting for money from Allience and Leicester to be tracked with Quidco (from September). I put in an enquiry before Christmas. It has been saying "ready to send" since then. Has anyone ever received the money from Allience and Leicester. If so how long did it take.

So it looks like i have to remove my bank charges from my total, so that is £572 - £531 = £41

Then i have made another £22 on Amazon

So total so far is £63

I've sold another book on Amazon today, that's 3 this week already. Try Indiefield for focus groups and Grassroots for mystery shopping. https://www.indiefield.net/index.html

can anyone help me with mystery shopping and aqa? do i have to sort out all my taxes my self if its self employed and do things like get an accountant or do they do that for you? i dont trust myself to do it on my own im no good with numbers and cant see how you would gain if you do?

I've just banked my postal order from my ebay sale, I was worried that I hadn't charged enough for p&p but I ended up making a bit extra . Result!

Laptop sold for £52 + about £5 extra on postage charge, total £57 profit :j
I would normally feel bad about charging so much for postage but ebayer got a huge bargain so I don't care, LOL!

Got another 6 items on ebay but only 1 is selling so far (forgot to put the olympic challenge code in the listing, tut!) a few days to go yet so I still have hope.

I'm having a good day today! 4 of my 9 auctions sold, and the cheques from last week have cleared so I can post off the parcels. I'm really getting into this ebay lark!!!

Oh and I got paid today, with holiday pay from last year and a £335 per annum wage rise! My boss is SO generous

Been paid today with my extra temporary promotion money - yipeee! £300 to add to my total. At last, I feel like I am getting somewhere!
