    Question to all you AQA-ers on the thread.

    I sent off my contract but heard nothing. Contacted them and they said it never arrived. Then they sent the starter pack but no password. I've emailed them (2 days later) but no reply.

    Did this happen to you?Are they stalling me?

    Joanne, so....spill the beans!! How did your pt work go??
    Not fantastic, Jo. I've had a major attack of conscience and can't bring myself to do it now. The 'rules' magicly changes from the ones I signed up to, to more than I had expected. Also, I thought I could handle it as I've done it before, but as I've said, my conscience is really shouting aloud. Although my BF says he's fine with me doing it, I can't help but feel that it's wrong of me to be doing so when I'm someones GF.

    quite deflated about it all to be honest :(

    Congratulations on getting thoose bank charges back tho hon! Well done :beer:

    Well it's time for my weekly update and the only thing I've added this week is the £15 from Mirror bingo. I did think I'd be away and earning with AQA by now, ah well:rolleyes: . I forgot to count the £1 from YouGov last time and I've gained £5 by joining Rpoints. So my total now stands at £327. Got some matched betting planned for this week and some overtime at work so next week will be better.

    Anyway, as I said, I joined Rpoints this morning and found a few things that may be of interest for those of you that havent visited yet:

    1) You get £5 for joining (well, the points equivalent of).
    2) The National Lottery gives you 30p for joining and £2 for buying a ticket online.
    3) Virgin Casino giving points – the best deal seems to be putting in £5 and getting equivalent of £5 back. At best you win, at least you'd break even.
    4) Get £12 for using Uswitch to search for Utility tariffs and changing through them (receive another £1 for using a credit card to pay).
    5) 75p for getting a car insurance quote through comparethemarket.com.
    6) 50p for the same through Go Compare.
    7) 50p for the same through People's choice.

    Also, if you click on the Easypoints tab at top of the page there are loads of options - I reckon you could make easily £20 for signing up to various websites.

    Dezzi and Lynz, where are youuuuuuuuuuuu?? Lynz I hope you are feeling better and able to enjoy some of the weekend.

    Jo, thanks for contributing to the Matched betting board - I've been following your posts and they've really helped :cool:

    And Dr Hook, that MB spreadsheet is ace!:T

    Have a good week, all :)

    Managed to break the £300 barrier today. I'd hoped for more, but it's been a bit of a tough week this week. Good luck to everyone else for the next week.

    Well howdy all, hope things are going well for you all - nearly half way through the challenge so I hope the motivation isn't dropping off... bit hypocritical as i haven't been doing great!

    Anyway, another £19 MS and £30.60 AQA - not bad I suppose, but not great either! Hopefully some more MS money next wekk, though I'm rather tired at the mo and again just can't be bothered

    Mystery Shopping: £119
    AQA : £165.10
    Quidco : £63.74
    RPoints: £15.32
    Matched Betting: £46.01
    Other: £58.20


    Making £467.37... i think! Def need to set up a spreadsheet - this is so confusing!

    Hope you are all well and have a good time money making!
