Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

Cyans

The NOSOs seem to be broken on iPad for the past two days. Odd.

A quick tip: you should probably be aware that changing pages in search results gives you another chance at SB.

I don't see how it will help at all when we get DQ before any info anyway, i had the 7+3 this morning again....

In any case they should be bending over backwards to give us surveys not us jumping through hoops filling in bloody useless profiles!!!!!!

Oops i feel a vent coming on....:o

If the profile question thingies say there is an error and to refresh (in red at the bottom) I found that it means that you have missed something in the profile. Before trying to refresh, check that you have completed everything and there are no conflicting answers (I clicked on the wrong box on one question - can't remember which one it was - but when I checked I found that I had clicked 'no' by mistake and then filled in details in the next question which of course contradicted it - when I clicked on 'yes' it accepted OK)

Well, I have just called HMRC about the whole earning online/being self employed thing and am none the wiser. Could hardly understand what the woman was talking about, barely had a chance to explain myself, she didn't seem too bothered that I had no idea what I was talking about, and I didn't get the chance to say that I work part-time as well, and ask if that makes any difference.

She said something about not getting taxed if you earn up to about £5000 a year, but I don't know if that's separate then from what I earn in my job or not..

I am utterly confused about the whole thing. But apparently some things will be sent to me. Will wait and see what that is and where to go from there. But from now on I am putting all my efforts into earning as much as I can online. Since if I'm gonna be registered as self employed, I may as well make the most of it.

My bold - No it's not separate. And it's £8,105 for this tax year, not sure why she mentioned £5000??? Unless she mean't low earning exemption for Class 2 NI. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/working/intro/class2.htm

Cath - check the PeanutLabs wall - I've just completed a survey about BBC Red Button and BBC online services - 60sb

Nothing at the moment Paul, tho did get dq'd from a DS as I don't smoke and also said so honestly on my profile thingy. These qualifying questions are weird tho as I've found they very rarely relate to the survey topic. Glad to hear you are feeling better:)

That might have been it. I was so flustered on the phone I must have mistaken what she meant. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I think that sometimes the first profile questions could be so that they can offer surveys on that subject in the future. So if they have a survey they are going to release about tobacco, they may ask this now and then you get a survey about it in a couple of days. the qualifying question for that one then may be 'have you suffered from a cold in the past month' because they have a survey coming up about cough medicines. That way they can narrow down who they offer the surveys to

Was about to say the same Happi, have managed 3/5 attempted profiles and still need to find an actual survey that accepts me and works enough to complete and credit!

I've just got through a DS on online grocery shopping for 70sbs - it crashed towards the end but I just reloaded and it took me to the page and credited. Mucho relief 170/100. Happy Mondays SBuckers :j
