    dont think any of these were mentioned. Also not mega bucks but hey it all adds up.

    I found someone on another website who was willing to pay me to do cross stitch for them. Its a hobby of mine so its nice to be paid to do something in front of the telly of an evening that I enjoy.

    Also I know a couple of people who get paid to housesit for people when they are on holidays (people in big posh houses)

    And finally more on a not spending theme as opposed to actually earning, I make my own birthday cards. I've worked out I make them for up to about
    30p, so its worth it for birthday, anniversary, new job etc cards, but not for Xmas cards where they are so cheap anyway.

    Hope of help to someone.

    Hey, can u tell me how u got into this please? I love cross stitch, and would love even more to do it for cash!!! thanks. xox

    Hi
    I have just applied to AQA https://www.63336.com which from what I can gather is answering questions from home on your PC. I have actually passed there test, but it all seems too good to be true. i woudl really like to chat to someone who works from them before returning my "contract"

    Help!!!!

    Is it worth the effort or not?
    Also I have a "proper" job and will only be doing it in evening or weekends how does the tax situation work?

    I found the best way of making free money is thinking annually..For example if you click on kelkoo on free sites you can earn 5- 10p per day..that doesn,t seem worth it,,but if you do it by joining mutual points/free fivers/shopping rewards /quidco,etc that will earn you approx 30p per dayx365=£100 plus per year just for kelkoo.alone.But their are other free clickthroughs on these sites as well and sites like pigsback that give vouchers.These last 2 months I have received over £200 in cash and vouchers alone tax free /costing me nothing except for approx 20 minutes of my time per day and I am on track to receive over £500 in this year{my first year of doing],..and then if you got a bit more time to spare ..you can start on the surveys..

    but you can make £100 profit in about 30 minutes by opening a coral and betfair account through quidco !

    When I was at uni the police were at the fresher's fair and I registered with them for ID parades. They took a polaroid of me and a note of my height, build and email. They send an email when you are needed and at most it took an hour or so and paid £20, and no, you don't get arrested if you are chosen

    I popped into my local police station, but unfortunately they do all their e-fits electronically now. Bl*ody technology - depriving me of my £20!

    to answer sirboz remark...yes you can do that as well i have on most of the gambling sites...but they are a one of{and some people do not like giving their bankaccount details}so open your one off betfair/coral account make £100 and then make over £5000 over the next ten years with your daily clickthroughs..plus you get to notice any new offers on these freebie sites on your daily clicks
