Hi all,just having my once monthly trek to the board. I'm so naughty, i do need to get here more, just not enough hours in my day.I just thought i would share a few penny making tips with you all,to keep you allout of mischief!!!! You know who you are.1) Fancy car booting but to lazy? A great UK site is https://www.ibootsale.com it's an online car bootsale, allowing you to haggle and everything. The site is becoming really popular. Also, a great selleroffer on at the moment. You can have a pitch, selling 25 items free for 90 days. Check it out.2) Take part in police identity parades. This is soooooooo much fun. A mate got me on to it, they pay £10-20 quid a pop,i getcalledtodo 3 or 4 a week and don't worry, there is no chance of you being picked out. It's all explained in detail when you register. Visit your local cop shop if this appeals to you.3) Become an election polling clerk. Whenever there are local or national elections, councils are crying out for polling clerks,easy work and an extra 30-40 quid a time. You get to meet lots of people to. Good fun.4)Medical trials- No no no, not the ones that make you look like the elephant man taking unknowndrugs. Most of them involve simple things like a weeks sleep deprivation. You can earn up to £300 and get all your meals and stuff for free. Happy days. You can decide with the company when your register exactly what it is you will and won't do.Everyone keep doing your stuff. You are all doing brill.

Hi McB - We miss your posts - I often refer posters to your 'epic' re DCA's, but have lost the link - perhaps you could remind me.:beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

You class a week of sleep deprivation as simple?! Blimey... You know in old times sleep depravation was used as a form of torture.MCBIRNIE25 wrote: »simple things like a weeks sleep deprivation.0 -

In recent times too, unfortunately;

Hmm sounds like an expert here..
If you knew you owed someone say from a catalogue and you knew you had not signed an agreement, would you keep paying because you know you owe it or would you question it?
This is more of a moral dilemma - to be honest I am on the side of fence of paying but some of my DCA are not good to deal with.0 -
It's a personal decison that mate.
Legally, without the agreement it can't be enforced.
I never paid my ones wthout agreements fora while, to give me breathing space...0
