As I am likely soon to be unemployed from my paye job, let's have a look and see how much I can earn again!

Starting off slow so i dont demotivate myself!

A heads up about AQA/Bongo. The service was shutdown permanently at midnight yesterday. Researchers were only given a couple of hours notice.

That is terrible!

 

[katykicker]

I've popped up the target list and will try my best to keep it up to date. Juggling a lot of commitments atm but want to come here to chat more as I know there are always some great ideas for money making, and I know we can all use that more than ever.

Thanks for the feedback on the target list all, will keep it going!
