A question for all you MS out there I keep being offered jobs but haven't taken any yet as they seem so poorly paid.
I live in a very rural area and I have to travel at least 10 miles to get to any of them so far.So not places I would go normally so would have to go out of my way.
The ones I am getting are ones where you have to buy something (about £100 value) :eek: Then take it back for a refund on the same day.

So are they worth it ? They are paying like £10-£15 and for me the amount of stuff they want you to check just doesn't seem worth it.

I guess its ok if you get a few in the same area but I am pretty limited in this area for jobs.

Thanks in advance

I suppose it depends how you look at MS. There are some that pay quite well but I've found most don't if you work out the hourly rate, how much you have to look at and how long it takes to fill out the miles of report for some of the jobs.


However, I look at it this way. Am I going to earn something and maybe get something free I would have had to pay for ? How much will it cost me to get there and back ? Is it somewhere different to look around for a change and maybe spot a bargain - different charity shops for instance ? Finally what else would I have done with the time ? Sometimes you can get paid mileage or travel costs on top. I also think that more work may follow if I become a 'regular' shopper.


Sorry long post. Good luck

Probably last income for April now £30 from OHs skybet (He had £10 of our Grand National winnings and has been betting using that and withdrawing anything over £10. Not sure how long it will last but he's not depositing anything from our bank account). And £40 from selling our double buggy as ds is walking everywhere now.

I can't believe I hit target, halfway through the month and I was loads behind! I am waiting on $100 from Bubblews so hopefully that will be good start for next month and should be redeeming the next $50 tomorrow evening. I really need to get eBaying as well as need the space in the house!

£1 for selling some cat food to mother (the cheek of her!)


£25 for using asda apg online before they expired tomorrow.

I think I'm done for the month so I'm claiming a grand total of £643.75 for April thanks to £38.93 earned at second job and £37.86 from overtime at first job both on Sunday.
I've earned 214% of my target which I'm so chuffed about.

Although I did so well because I had overtime and extra money thanks to Easter and the bank holiday. If only we could have Easter every month.

Thanks for running the thread/challenge and I'm all signed up and raring to go with May.

Good luck everyone and well done on all the amazing totals =D
