    Re surveys, Valued Opinions is a nice one. It pays points but you can redeem from a choice of vouchers at £10. I get Tesco vouchers, very handy.

     

    Have signed up here too and I'm about to start the first survey! I chose John Lewis vouchers to use towards my Ocado shop.

     

    Many Thanks

    Oh theres a few which pay real money, but most make you save up points until you get enough to redeem for vouchers or paypal and you end up doing quite a few long repetitive surveys before you can "cash out" the difference with this one is that you do only get 2 a month each paying £3 and the odd quickie to establish your shopping habits so they know what surveys to send you - in all honesty this one pays me £4 a survey but new sign ups are only being offered £3 which is similar to when I joined up 2 years ago those there before me get £5 per survey. I never miss one of these surveys, whereas I often dont bother with the points saving ones unless I'm bored, but I still get about half a dozen redeems in a year from points, it's not a huge amount of money but its FREE money and I use it to treat myself on ebay :laugh:

     

    Thanks for the link, I have signed up - I hope they choose me to take part.

     

    I tend to convert my TNS points to Amazon eVouchers although I must admit some of the surveys can take quite a while although it's still something for nothing. Another thing that's a bit annoying is that they sometimes close before I get a chance to start them because they have already had enough participants. I've had some freebies though - big box of dishwasher tablets that looked suspiciously like Finish Quantum Powerball, a box of Cadbury's Heroes and a Cadbury's Starbar!

  5. Has Anyone Done An Icb Course?

    Not that one but I have the study materials for the AAT Award in Bookkeeping that you could borrow if you are looking for a course :flowers:

     

    Although I have a feeling that you already have a bookkeeping qualification as when I was asking about it you gave me some advice but I can't check back now cos I can only see posts made after Nov 2009 so it might not have been you :wacko:

  7. Any Maths Bods?

    in Non Animal Chat

    One of my friends has asked me to help with her 9 year old daughter's maths homework and it's scrambling my brain!!

    You need to make the number 793 from using the following numbers only once: 8, 8, 4, 75, 50 and 100.

    Help!!!!

     

     

    (((100+8)x8)+4)-75=793

     

    or

     

    ((100-(8-4))x8 + (75-50)=793

  10. Crb Checks

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    That would be great, but she has been told that she's not allowed to know which police force has got the application until they've had it for 60 days, so at the moment she cannot contact them as she doesn't know who has got it.

     

    Because it took so long for the form to be sent off to the police, they have only had it for 50 days so far, so she has another 10 days to wait. :(

     

    She could try phoning every police force she has lived in for the last 5 years and asking them if they have it, depends how desparate she is really.

    Hello

     

    I work in CRB at my local police force. We get phone calls everyday from people wanting to expedite their application. We then prioritise them and let them know what's happening with it within 30 minutes (this is all part of the Citizen Focus pledge that we have signed up to).

     

    I would get your friend to phone the police force that the application is with and ask them to expedite it.

     

    Hope that helps

  13. Banks - Can They Just Take A Payment From A New Account?

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    I know from personal experience that this can happen. It is called right to off-set which means that when you have fallen into arrears with payments to a credit card or loan and you also hold a current account with the same company, they can use the "Right to Off-Set" to take funds from your current account (without your permission!) to bring the debt back up-to-date.

     

    This definition is from Payplan's website which also has a wealth of other debt related info. http://www.payplan.com

  15. Advice Needed From Computer Savvy Peeps On Mac Puters

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    Hi

    I'm hoping there's a fugee out there that knows a little bit about Mac puters that can help.

     

    My daughter has been looking for a used Mac. She designs websites (self-taught and pretty good I have to say :) )

     

     

    She wants one so that she can test out the websites that she has designed using the Mac operating system and using the different browsers on the Mac.

    She's found this one and others of same model:

     

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=180322047943

     

    Can anyone tell me if it would it be suitable for the purpose she wants??

     

    Big thank-yous in advance :flowers:

     

     

    Hi

     

    I have an iMac G5 that is almost 5 years old and has Mac OS X 10.3.9 as the operating system so a concern with the model you have found is that Mac OS 9 is older than my operating system which itself is almost 5 years old so perhaps it won't be quite what she needs although I am no Mac expert so I could be completely wrong :unsure:

  21. Current Oldies Club Posters

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Okay will do a general poster at PAH and the Vets then.

     

    Don't forget that I am in my area! Have done a few homechecks for you and several for Wiccaweys. I can also drive now (not sure if I told you that) and I currently have plenty of time on my hands due to losing my job at the end of last year.

     

    I can't help with fostering at present as I have a Wiccs foster dog here but maybe in the future.

     

    :flowers:
