"As part of the Transition Year course, we are expected to do (whatever amount of time) Work Experience"

How can I make some decent money online? Without selling stuff.

SChique00 · 25-09-2011 8:16pm

Um, taking surveys? Be weary of which websites you go to though because some of them are measly or slow when it comes to payouts :L

I've tried that before. It's not worth the hassle!

I'm going to have a look into eBay now.

shadowninty · 25-09-2011 8:29pm

How about a method of not losing money? I´ve got an ingenious one.

Oh Leia, I had many good times with teh Scouts too. But rowing got in the way

Though, I practically fell all the way down the side of the mountains, and lost not one, nor two, but three shoes to the mighty wrath of the bog... Such craic though :L

It would be for multi-tasking etc, and also a higher graphical burden would be put on the processor.
You have this processor I take it?

Withdrawing all my money from my Post Office account and putting it in my bank account on Thursday. Will keep €200 out for football membership and FIFA 12.

Coindicently, your great gran-aunt has died in Nigeria, and has named you as her heir. To release this money to an person overseas, certain fees need to be paid. Transfer a small release fee of 2000 to me and I will ensure her fortune of 20,000,000 gets to you.

ugh same

for my pre I wrote about an earthquake and then a tsunami hitting a city where tens of thousands died. Probably lost marks cos the Japanese Quake happened a few days later

Jackobyte · 26-09-2011 12:47am

My essays always end up with stupidly intricate back stories a la Bernard from Black Books.

Bernard: It couldn't be simpler. You've got the academic who survived the Stalinist purges and is now having flashbacks to that time. There's his daughter whose long bitter marriage is falling apart around her and the journalist who's investigating the academic because he suspects he was never in Russia at the time and then he falls obsessively in love with the daughter and sacrifices his career to become a lense grinder in Omsk.
