    If you get the chance to do the application it may be worth it Hypno ... you can do as much or as little as you want and oh could do some too???

    I got the application twice before, but each time I didn't have time to do it properly so never even tried! I think that probably told me that I wouldn't do it, much as the extra money would obviously appeal to me.

    Perhaps it is something I could start looking at when the Children are away, and I have a bit more space in my day.

    It's quite fun to do the application, Hypno. I did it but failed for some reason :confused: but to be honest, if I had been accepted it would have been the perfect job really.

    Not only that, you get to amaze your friends with your ever-increasing font of useless trivia...:rotfl:

    That is the downside of it, they don't recruit that often and when they do you have to complete the application within 48 hours and it does take quite a lot of time to do.
    I've just had a survey through from one of the survey sites and now I'm up to 982 points ... once I get to 1000 I get £26 :beer: :beer: Hopefully one will come through this week :j

    Well I have had a very productive day today ... I have tidied the whole flat, sorted my pressie box, got a couple of bits on ebay (proceeds to go towards Hypnos ski fund), passed my review on AQA, and taken ds down the beach when he came back from his dads. I've also only spent £1.36 on some milk ;)
    Off now to give ds a bath and get his pj's on, then when he's gone to the land of nod I'm gonna try and earn some more money on AQA :D

    Picked up a lovely vanilla candle with cinnamon sticks in it for mums hamper for £1,(poundshop) and a designer style stationery set for DD's hamper in sale(QS) for £1, letter rack, note book, memo block and box of co ordinated pencils:D
    Didn't spend any of boots vouchers yet though.
    Then went to asda and picked up baileys truffles for mum's hamper and some packs of choccy towards kids choc hampers. Toblerone,dime,choc orange 4 packs- 2for £1:T.and set of baskets reduced to £5 for 4 lined and edged with cream/brown striped material.

    Hi Lilmissmup ... AQA is an online question-answering-text service thing ... basically anyone can text in a question, about absolutely anything, and then we answer them. We get 30p per question, not much but you can work as and when you feel like it ;) Its ideal for me as I am indoors on my own every night once ds is in bed (7pm) and normally I am online all the time anyway. I have only just started but thee are quite a few people on here who have been doing it a while. There is a thread called "AQA recruiting" somewhere on the dfw board ... have a look there for more info. It involves a test and stuff to get in but if it suits your lifestyle it could be great for you ;):D
    So far I have earnt £14.40 ... again not much, but it will all help :beer: and at least I can't be spending money while I'm earning it :rotfl:
