Originally posted by EqualOpportunities View PostI'm not enquiring as to the state of your finances, please don't think I am - but, realistically, how much can one make out of, for example, having a card in the local Co-op or something. The reason for my enquiry is that I work 4 on 4 off, so have a lot of spare time...Confusion is a natural state of beingComment

Originally posted by Diver View PostI haven't gone that route myself, but have seen the cards and even took on one guy full time last year. he stuck with me for 5 months before getting a contract with business statistics. he said that he could make anywhere from £60 to £600 a week depending on callout's. put money in his pocket between contracts, and a lot of it was cash.The squint, the cocked eye and clenched first are the cornerstones of all Merseyside communication from birth to graveComment

I got stuck into a diving contract (the photo one) in March and stepped away from the IT side for several months. the manager who was running it for me wanted to buy it so I sold it to him, I have just been informed that he has taken on a partner now to help fund expansion. I hope he does well, he works hard and deserves it.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment
