    Yes. I do.

    Although I went down an entirely different route to what's to be found on this site and it took a bit longer as I went down the "build a website, register a domain" route. But I was working full-time when I did that so limited time to do it.


    why have you answered GD's post to TD like your TD ?
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.

    Erm food? bills? Graham I do do surveys and comps, I have been doing them all morning in another tab, but I also have to balance that with having a OU course, and it's not a year it is 4 months. Before you ask why I havent been doing them before- I got online a month ago :)


    you can live on £15-20 a week food.

    :eek: I do? Oops.
    What is the job and why can't you say it "out loud"?
    Graham, thanks but I am one of the lucky ones- I turn 21 in march and somehow I have a trust fund so I don't intend to be in this position for long, really I wanted to know the general opinion of people, but we've deviated into is Rhi mad, lazy, or just a bit thick :rotfl:

    Because I'm not 100% sure of every detail and I wouldn't be able to 'back up my points' if someone took me to task. Thats why i said if you're interested, drop me a PM.:D

    But it is a legitimate job (not as a masseuse !) that could/would/might be ideal for someone in your particular circumstances.

    if your paarents are both on minimum wage or worse can i ask why the hell they thought it a good idea to home educate you?
    Life changes. That is kind of a fact. I pretty much educated myself, and things were different when they made that decision. Mushypeas, I did say in that post that I wanted more peoples general opinions rather than specifics, but it has escalated. :o
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
    :kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:
    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Not so sure about that, not with electric and all the other stuff, besides which I don't think my mum would agree to that.

    I'm sorry!?

    You have 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 52 weeks a year. Of doing what?

    And you have to 'balance' things?!

    You don't even have a home to run, or kids, or, oh yer, a job taking up your week!

    It's escalated cus it's quite clear your trying to explain why people may be on the dole, but it's turned into yet another clear case of 'But but but'.

    You don't need to be on the dole. You have chosen it as a lifestyle choice now. This is clear in what your typing. Especially the 'I have a fund' thing.

    Were all trying to help you. We have all come up with good suggestions. Your coming up with a load of bull$hit.

    And now your food costs your more than £15-£20 a week, LOL

    Because with writing, it is difficult to put the intonation.
    I was posting to respond that I do this and it works for me. As evidence that it is possible.

    You have said a few times that you can't get to the nearest town by public transport at normal working times. If your parents don't work, could one of them take you? If they do work, can't they get you a job with them?
