    I’m not eligible to enter but I wish I were. Jealous of whoever wins this prize.

    Try reading our article here – https://www.moneymagpie.com/make-money/mystery-shopping-become-a-mystery-shopper-andget-paid-to-shop-and-eat-out

    Years ago I tested one of the sites out and got to mystery shop at a well-known fast-food company.

    It was a bit stressful because you literally had to time everything (how long until you got your order etc.) so you needed a stopwatch without looking suspicious, but it was great fun. The closest I’ve ever got to feeling like a spy!

    I agree with Jasmine and just to follow that up – try to expand on the details that will be relevant to the job. Experience in a similar job role or a passion for the specific industry is way more helpful to read than what you got for GCSE Geography, haha!

    It’s very scary – a pub near me that has been open for years has had to close down. The mix of inflation and bills going up, combined with customers having less spending power has made the situation impossible for them. Genuinely worrying how many other businesses will be in the same position.

    I’m that typical hypocrite who absolutely values the need for cash but tends to pay most things by card these days.

    There are so many reasons why a purely digital currency scares me, though, so I will always argue for the necessity of cash.

    Autumn Statement 2022: The key points

    Thanks, I’ll check some of these out. So Andor’s good? I’m a bit burnt out on Star Wars TV – Mando was fine, but Bobba Fett and Obi-Wan just really underwhelmed me.

     

    Oh yes, Andor is in a different league, I think. It’s an entirely separate creative team, and it’s shot on location rather than The Volume so it feels really different.

    It’s kind of Star Wars ‘for adults’ but not in a juvenile way – it’s not gory or sweary – its just really well-written with morally-grey characters and a burning hatred for fascism that keeps the whole thing feeling depressingly timely.

    As Jasmine knows, I’ve got a Jack Russell. He’s an ABSOLUTE HANDFUL, but he’s full of character and life, and so loving and cuddly. It was more my partner’s choice of breed than mine, but he rules my life now.

    Good question, Paul. There’s actually been some amazing TV this year.

    Some of my top pics would be:

    Severance – a fantastic new sci-fi TV show which has a (really quite creepy) spin on work-life balance.

    Better Call Saul – This was the final season, so you’d need to watch the other series first, but honestly I think it’s one of the best shows ever made.

    Andor – A Star Wars TV show that actually feels thoughtful and takes the franchise to new heights.

    House Of The Dragon – A slightly more tentative suggestion, depending on your taste, but if you liked Game Of Thrones back at its height, I think you’d like this.

     

    I’m a bit of a fantasy/sci-fi geek though, so a bit biased. Currently watching The Devils Hour which I’m really enjoying as well – one episode to go!

    We’ve spoken to one of our contacts at Coinbase and they’ve said:

    ‘We recommend the user to visit the support page and address their concern there.’

    Could you let us know how you get on? We can try and chase this up again if need be.
