    Eee! My contract came through (after several requests for a re-send), so I should be starting work as a 'Telephone Actress' by Friday and hope to have my first wage on the 14th of July or there abouts emot-dance.gif

    And Thursday I have an Interview for Lloyds TSB, I doubt anything will come of that though because they credit check you on interviewing you. Ach, lets wait and see.

    Well evening all, am doing my daily update.

    Have done a little bit of clicks etc but mainly matched betting (£18) and AQA (£12.90) which keeps that total ticking up to £300 giving me

    Mystery Shopping: £84
    AQA : £67.50
    Quidco : £63.74
    RPoints: £2.82
    Other: £58.56

    £276.62. have also got 2 MS booked for next week - seems very slow on that front at the mo so hopefully will pick up again soon.

    Hope the rain and floods aren't affecting anyone too badly - its all not at all good. See you all tomorrow :T

    Hi everyone

    Time for an update:

    AQA - £100.80
    Change - £8.00
    Mystery Shopping - £4.70
    Quidco - £38.45
    Ebay - £151.00
    Other - £9.00

    Total - £311.95

    I've made a bit more money on AQA (not nearly as much as I wanted to!!) and I sold something in the local paper for £5.

    I'm doing rubbish at the moment, I think I've got a cold/chest infection coming on as I'm tired all the time and am going to be at 9pm every night!! It impedes the moneymaking!!! :rolleyes:

    I will definitely put some stuff on Ebay tonight to finish on Sunday.

    Keep going everyone.

    I should be starting work as a 'Telephone Actress' by Friday

    Do you have to talk to people or is it texting? How much do you make and are there vacancies??

    Well I've signed up to Lovefilm on quidco, so thats £14.50 pending, I've also added Egg money manager to my egg account which they give you £10 to do.
    I've never used it before, but it's a really good way to log onto just one site and then you can see all your balances on your different accounts and credit cards in one place.
    You need to add a non egg account before 30th June to get the £10!
    Debts in April 07 = £12,547.61 Debts in Aug 08 = £0
    I'm debt free! Woohoo!
