A good day so far - just done 5 hours in the coffee shop/bar, and sold an old pair of OH skis for £50. Just waiting for a client to arrive, so will add everything together later this afternoon and amend my totals!!

So that'll be another £100 plus day for family Hypno then?! Oh well, I've just made 6p on Archerfish, so I'm chasing your heels...

I reckon I'm probably too thick to do AQA (being oop norf an' all that, like!) - I just don't know where you actually find the answers to the bizarre questions from, but I'm off to have a look at the proper AQA thread now to see as I'm probably missing something fairly fundemental. It sounds like something that I could do from work to pass the time and the pay sounds pretty good as well! It's probably mentioned somewhere on that thread, but do any of you AQA-ers happen to know off-hand about the whole degree requirement thing - do they assess you on your merits and qualifications, or did they actually ask to see a certificate? I didn't do a formal degree as I did job-specific training instead, and have a professional qualification approx equivelant to post-grad level - do you think they'd take that, or have they a bee in their bonnet about the actual degree? Suppose I could get DH to apply if so.

Don't let the whole degree thing put you off - I don't have a degree and never stated that I did and managed to get a job with them. The highest qualifications I have are A Levels.

You get used to all of the sites that will give you the answers and you must be well up on your grammar and spelling.

Good luck if you decide to go for it

£136.58 raised today from clients, coffee shop, sale of skis, piggy clicks and onepoll surveys.

Sadly, I won't be raising that amount every day!

i transferred £200 into a high interest savings account, which i will then take out when i need it in my current account (which i can do without penalty!). why? to gain a little bit of interest from it! every penny counts!

Thanks for the reply! I'm generally not too bad at spelling and stuff, and it's reassuring that the degree business might not necessarily be a complete no-no. I'll do a bit of research into it while I'm stuck on permanent sofa-rest for the next week or so, but although I'm desperate to get stuck into money making right now, it would probably be daft to apply with all that's going on this month. I'll give it a go after baby is born, we've moved, and I'm back at work, and so have my fabulous eight child/housework/stress-free hours every day to sit and do nothing back again!

If anyone else is interested: it does look as though they are recruiting at the moment.
Edit - just read further: "We're currently looking for researchers based in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or USA only." so maybe not for most of us!

You can get ISA accounts also, which allow you quite a few withdrawals in a year, and then the interest is tax free as well!!

If you go to the February make £10 a day thread, and even further back to the January one, these threads are full of ideas. There are also links on this thread - you have to do the reading to get the ideas.

i have an ISA as well, but for some reason where it says "current interest rate" it says "nil". i have no idea why!

i've been doing this transferring backwards and forwards for months now. i can't wait to see how much interest i have earned at the end of this tax year

Oh dear! If it was me I'd get onto whoever runs that ISA account and sort them out! They can't give you 'nil' interest - tax free as well!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
