30 Strikes

So in the real world, fighting 29 was never gonna be a battle I was gonna win! Ta da... I am now the big fat 3-bloody-0 and nothing has actually changed!! It is a new year, a new day not not a new life......................

The plot is to still locate a (genuine) money making scheme, so far the options are:

1. Find a new location for a Travelodge and get paid £500 per room! Wowzer this must be the best idea yet however, I got no reply to my suggestion! Boooo here is the link if you have a better idea than mine travelodgedevelopment.co.uk I shall endevour to keep my eyes open for development sites!
2. Have a brain wave and get paid for it, hmm I better get my thinking hat on, this web site pays for ideas that they use ideabounty.com
3. If I was a little bit more scientific I might be able to get paid to solve a problem for one of the companies at innocentive.com I'm waiting for a moment of absolue genius (still).
4. Create a wonderfully wonderous website of my own that everyone would like to go to and buy things...... I've made a start but didn't get very far, if you want to make your own site at mr site, click the banner at the bottom of my page for 'mates rates'!



The link for discounted mrsite, get your own website!!

5. Come up with some cracking one liners or poems for greeting cards, I have heard that card publishers pay for these ideas (I will let you know if I have any luck with this one)!

I've already tried the online survery for money, mystery shopper companies and looked into all sorts of other odd websites offering to make you rich for a small investment!! Well I will not be making any investment into an online money making scam.............. I'm looking for a real get rich quick plan!!!!!!

We can all dream anyway!!



All in a days work!

WOOOPS!! A few weeks after making my half hearted list of what I need to do before I'm 30 I have accomplished one part of my final plan!! I no longer work in a crappy office! I erm... Quit. I have never quit a job before on my life (that I can remember) Managed to negotiate my notice down from four weeks to about four hours on a random Wednesday. This felt good at the time but now I need to (even quicker than ever) come up with a money maker, to pay the mortgage.



Now, in the middle of a recession, it would seem absurd to quit a fairly safe job. However, when you realise that you are going to work leaving behind your common sense, integrity and any morals just to make it through the day, it surely is the time to quit. On my first day of unemployment I emailed my CV to every recruitment agency in my email address book. I must have about ten saved. Only one rang back, for a job in Sunderland!!!!!!!!!! When you live five minutes from Newcastle there is no reason to sit on a metro for one whole hour to get to Sunderland...... Is there? I guess I'll find out when I can no longer pay the mortgage and have to give in to the idea. I would then have a crappier office job in a less convienient location and will be even more sick. Well, they do say that the grass is always greener on the other side!
