winkie Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Apparently begging is quite lucrative. No boss, fresh air, lots of friendly people to talk to. If you don't ask, you don't get. Perfect training for a life in sales. Helps develop a brass neck and get over the fear of rejection. Can I ask you a quick question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19 year mortgage 8itch Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 This does feel a bit like its turned into get rich quick schemes, less honest workYes, matched betting is wrong and dangerous. Steer well clear. Do not be tempted. It's not free money, you pay with your soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckin2up2down Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 You want £200 for two days work - what did you expect? You could always become a locum consultant. It's hardly asking for the world for 100 quid for a days work! Isn't that what the average Lidl person would earn for a long shift. 10 quid an hour.

Plus, as the OP says, they're reluctant to just roster people for two long days - it tends to be either full time, or 16-20 hours spread over four or five shifts. I've no idea why this is so but it's highly prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea why this is so but it's highly prevalent. Collusion with Tax Credit hour shuffles aside, it may be because you get more out of people in a shorter shift than a longer tiring shift. People tend to pace themselves if they know they are there for 10-12hrs but may crack on if its just a 4-5hr morning shift etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted someone for 3 hours 6 days a week. I didn't apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economic Exile Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Being female, if I enjoyed sh*gging a succession of men, being a prostitute would be easy money. Higher class one or two sh*gs a week would bring in £200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You should experience the horror that is split shifts. I'm guessing that's working morning and evening without getting paid in the interim? In the bus industry that's called a 'spreadover'...but you get paid for 3 hours of your 4 hour break! It takes it out of you doing 7am till 7pm for 5 days, but I used to spend the 4h in the middle reading magazines in Smiths (we didn't have smartphones in 2007 ) and the £500 net at the end of the week without having done any overtime was the icing on the cake.

Frank Hovis Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 You should experience the horror that is split shifts. Chatting to one of the cleaners yesterday, something like 6.30 to 12 then 4 to 7.30.

Though I think if you have a good attitude, take a break if ever it gets you down, and are entirely in control of who you accept then it is a pretty stress free way of earning £200 a week for a couple of hours work. I have read of perfectly happy women going this route as well as the much mire frequently reported trafficked / drug addled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Apparently plenty of blokes will pay good money for services that don't even require any sexual contact. I have heard of men paying burds to go round to their place and being treated like shite and forced to do their cleaning and go around on their knees etc. (The blokes being the one's on their knees etc) ******ing weird but if both are happy with the agreement then who am I to judge !! Personally I would rather pay for a hand job but hey maybe I'm the weird one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
