  • Yes I know about the meter reader but the points haven't increased from last time and when I click on my visit history the other jobs all have points but this one says 0. No phone call. And overall score when I click on the report is 92%, whatever that means?!

    Sounds like a problem at their end as they aren't shy at getting on the blower if they need to query something and with the 92% score there couldn't have been too much wrong with the report.

    can anyone please give advice about petrol costs etc. to earn £30, I would need to do a 80 mile, 2 hour complete journey (by car). Is this a waste of time?

    Use the HMRC fuel rates. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cars/advisory_fuel_current.htm Pick your engine size and the fuel you use. Let's guess at a 1.9L Diesel. That's 15p a mile multiply that by 80 miles and the fuel only will cost £12. There are other costs to consider such as the wear and tear on the car itself. You could also use the 45p figure which takes into account all costs (£36 total cost) or the 25p figure which excludes a lot of the standing costs of the car (£20).
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • I just noticed I have to take a photo of a sales stand tomorrow in the middle of a shopping centre thoroughfare.
    Could be tricky without giving myself away.
    I think I may have to dust off the EVO for this one.
