It is so frustrating when you sit there trying to get logged on and the computer keeps throwing up that server not found message all the time. Even more so when your son sitting downstairs is logged in and happily typing away on Facebook and you are upstairs and cannot get anywhere on your own computer!

Now just how does that work for heavens sake because it drives me insane – I check and recheck the Linksys router and all the little green lights are lit as they should be and yet STILL I sit there un-logged in! normally I would have a little more patience but right now I am in the middle of blogging for the kids xmas presents and have a stack of assignments building up which need publishing. Obviously I am logged in right now but had a terrible time this morning with the connection and thought I would never get anything done today – oh, forgot to mention too – I finally got that job at Tesco and can be found stacking shelves in the cold food section twice a week. Well, it’s money – but such a long way from owning a hotel in the south of France…

Paypal is a wonderful innovation but I find one of the drawbacks is the length of time it takes for your funds to reach your bank account – five days in my case and sometimes a bit longer if I transfer right before the weekend.

I like my money there when I want it so I have applied for Paypal’s debit card – it has a chip and Visa symbol so you can use it online. I’m a bit nervous about the clause stating if the underwriting bank, RBS, goes under the card and any funds in it will be lost, but right now I am confident that RBS will be solvent for a while yet.

Actually, I intend to load the card with funds only when I need them so I wont have it sitting topped up with too much for too long a period of time.

I do a lot of online shopping so it will serve it’s purpose and I can get at my cash as soon as it hits my paypal account. I would recommend it to people who do paid blogging – the application only takes five minutes.

I would be interested to know what people think about all the paid blogging sites out there right now.

A while back I wrote suggesting a number of these sites for those of you who were looking to get started on making some money from your blogs; all of them are well known by bloggers but they all differ and I have found that some are worth the time and other’s really are not…

I signed up with BlogtoProfit last year and received a batch of assignments to complete; they came in a spreadsheet format back then. I completed them and got paid pretty quickly. But that was it…no more tasks sent out.

Just recently I noticed they have a whole new look to their site so I signed up again and duly received three tasks. Completed them and should be paid soon – I have no doubt that they are on the level in that respect. But I have a feeling those three tasks will be ‘it’ for about another year. They seem to send you initial signing up jobs and then…nothing.

Oh well, but I would be interested to know what other bloggers experiences have been with regards to this company.
