    Annoyingly some mug will pick it up, although they have been trying to fill a bunch of pub and sport shop visits around me for a while and no one is taking them so maybe people are starting to cop on.
    The 3 I could see were taken in minutes. Nothing seems to be sticking around here for long at the minute, I guess some people are desperate after Christmas.

    In some ways I feel bad for feeling gleeful that RE have had these particular jobs listed since before Christmas, although I think I noticed a fee creep up on some of the reimbursement only jobs.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    The chances are good. Did you take a pic? It happened to me once and I got full payment.

    I have completed my first tax return and paid the tax due. However as I was completing my books it has made me realise that there are some companies I will not be working for or have stopped working for. AA is one, ridiculous fees for the amount of work involved. Also the secret eating place meant I had to pay tax without any gain if you see what I mean apart from a poor meal in some places (and good in some places) Add to the fact that I also paid petrol and have not had a good meal in ages that went too! Surprisingly Edigital were one of my top earners and I did not even have to leave the house! Has anybody else found that it makes them reassess which firms they will go the extra mile for?
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    Welcome to the real world. All is not as good as it first seems with many of these jobs, I stopped bothering with a lot of them a long time ago.

    This !


    After signing initially with all those on the front page and many more that are not, i now work regularly with 3 maybe 4 max, and 2 are my main earners.

    There is a big difference between quantity and quality of companies ;)

    out of interest how much roughly tax did you have to pay ?
    are you sure you claimed all allowable expenses ?
