    we are DEF going to do it Dez, but we have to get ebaying out of the way first. otherwise it will never get done and I have a pile the size of my spare room of carp ( sorry, really excellent collectables, top quality clothing adn giftware)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    Well I've made a start. Counted up my penny jars and bagged up £1.00 in 1p's. I have much more but I don't like to count it before I've got enough to bank.

    Also have made a grand total of £3.89 on a freeby £5 bet I've just done.

    For those thinking of doing MB'ing, normally you start with Coral and if you manage to get your head round it all before the end of June there is a Games promo where you can guarantee a £7.50 profit. There's a thread about it on the MB'ing board. My advice is to take your time, get someone to check your figures before you do it, but definitely do it! Sometimes you need to do the first couple to actually see what it is that's happening, so as long as someone has checked you've got the right figures you should be fine.
    Debts - [STRIKE]£9925.64[/STRIKE] £8841.88 :T Aiming to get below £9k by the end of Oct. :D:D:D November aim - sub £7.5k! :cool:
    Just Say No November - Challenger 19 ~ Groceries £0/£160 ~ NSD's 1/25 ~ Money made £6/£80

    Does anyone have experience of AQA? I've just got an :eek: application form and :eek: test through! Who can I put as referees? I don't want to put any of my employers as I'm still employed there and don't want anyone at work to know I'm trying to make extra money. :confused: Heeeeeeeeeellllllllllllpppppppp!! :p
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Wow everyone is doing so well, I am lagging behind already. Been doing my ebay and quidco, but waiting till I got the cash till I add it!
    Totals so far:
    Pinecone: £8.00
    Lightspeed: £2.00
    Ebay: £22.55
    Ciao: £7.35.

    Must do some more ebaying. Has anyone got any tips on what is selling? I did some children's clothes but only got a fiver for them which was a shame because it was a lovely bundle. Finding my listings for a grobag, netgear pc stuff and tesco coupons doing better though!

    Re Edigital - no you don't need to be referred. You sign up and then have to do a practise evaluation for a website and then they tell you if you have passed. Then you can apply for assignments. Work is not regular but every little helps!

  • Hi everyone.

    Taka/dezzi - as far as I know, AQA don't contact the referees. I put a friend's details for one, and for work I put a friend at work's name and asked AQA to let me know before they contacted her, but they haven't been in touch with either and it's a few months down the line now.
