The 2 mystery shop sites I use most are TNS and RetailEyes. I do sometimes use Gapbuster but they pay so little its not really worth it anymore
Have a look on the up your income board for more mystery shopping companies
AQA is Any Questions Answered which is a texting service where people can send in any question they like and we answer it. We get 30p per question. Again there is a thread on the up your income board about it. Its ideal for me as you can do it whenever you likeMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Evening guys!! Today I spent £10 on subs for the school social committee :rolleyes:, £2 on lunch, £2.25 on a happy meal for ds tonight
and £5.13 in tesco.
On the plus side though I did sell a cardigan as a buy-it-now on ebay for £25 ... I only paid £20 for itThe lady has paid already too so that brings my paypal account up to £30 which I will transfer over tonight
We had ds parents evening tonightthey are going to put him on "an individualised learning plan" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
basically means his behaviour will now be closely monitored and recorded
I will speak to my boss tomorrow for some advice as I'm sooo worried about him

Woohoo!!! Just been over to paypal to move the money across and found I'd still got £25 in there from the lasy who bought my boots a couple of weeks ago and also £5 from the top I posted yesterday, so have just withdrawn a total of £55 :beer: :j :j :j
I number crunched it all in the mortgage calculator and another month has bitten the dustThe mortgage is now down to Feb 2031
which has made my night .... and I haven't even started on the aqa'ing yet

hope your boss can offer some help - not much point monitoring and recording if nothing is happening to change it.no suggestions from the teacher?? hopefully the wee soul will grow out of it all on his own anyway.

Hiya Benben thats fab news on the money pouring in, good for you! and yay that a month of the mortgage has bitten the dust.
Poor you re DS though, could it just be that he isn't adjusting well to school life currently? would they consider trying him in another class to see if he gets on better there? I do hope it all sorts itself out soon and as someone oop there^^^ has said, he will no doubt grow out of it but what a worrying scenario right now.
Big hugs and keep making that money!! :-)debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!:heart2:impossible is nothing.:heart2:0 -
Ds has been moved to the other reception class for the rest of this week, today was the first day there ... and the teacher said he was "as good as gold all day"
Am hoping its progress not just a one-off
Today I've spent £2.05 on postage for the ebay item, £1.90 on lunch at school and £27 in tesco tonight which included happy feet on dvd for ds (£4) for his good behaviour today
Nothing much else to report tonight, have spent most of the evening on the phone tonight, every time I hang up someone else rings :rolleyes:Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Morning guys
I had another early night last night and woke up at 6 this morning (alarm doesn't go off till 6:45 :rolleyes: ), so I have managed to get a load of washing on, made both beds and tidied ds bedroom already today and I still have 15 minutes till we need to leave for school :j
Just a normal day today, school for both of us then have to nip to Sainsburys to get something for my brother-in-laws birthday and drop that round there. Have a good day everyone!!Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Flippin heck - why is it you can manage to get all that done before work and all I can manage is to get up, dressed, and coffee down my throat......if I am lucky!
I need my ability to deal with stuff seriously looked at, and appropriate kicks up the bum administered!
