1. News
Welcome to the latest issue of the Homeworking Ideas newsletter, the monthly publication which gives you all the latest news from the UK on ways of earning money from home.
First of all I'd like to apologise for the absence of last month's newsletter. Unfortunately a minor problem with my ADSL connection took 3 weeks to be fixed and of course my new laptop didn't have a modem so even a basic dial-up connection wasn't an option. Not only has this resulted in a huge backlog of work, but there's also a high probability that some e-mails have gone astray so if you're awaiting a response to an e-mail sent during the last couple of months, please resend it.
Recommended Survey Panels
Zoom Panel - Whilst ZoomPanel have been operating a UK panel for several years, they appear to have stepped up a gear
in the last month or so, with many more survey requests coming through. You earn ZoomPoints for each survey you take, even
if you don't qualify for the full survey, which you can then exchange for a range of gifts or shopping vouchers. Find out
more from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/zoom.htm
OpinionWorld - I've mentioned OpinionWorld before, as one of the more active survey sites, but in the past the company only offered charity donations and the chance to win sweepstake prizes in return for your opinion. Now however they are also offering cash payments with selected surveys, in addition to the donations and sweepstakes. Unlike most companies, you don't need to reach a minimum payout threshold as you are paid through Paypal for each survey you complete. Join now and you're also in with a chance of winning a Wii, a TV & Home Cinema set or a trip to New York. Sign up through http://www.homeworkinguk.com/ow.htm

Free Home Insulation
With energy prices going through the roof, it's becoming essential to do everything you can to minimise your consumption.
A poorly insulated home for example can waste up to 60% of it's heat and it needn't cost you anything to fix. Insulation
Grants are available to completely cover the cost of Cavity Wall Insulation & Loft Insulation and you don't even need
to be the homeowner; tenants simply need to get consent from the owner. Free insulation is available to households
where anyone is aged 70 or over or anyone is in receipt of certain benefits, tax credits or allowances. Anyone
else can still receive a grant of up to 75%. Find out more at http://www.homeworkinguk.com/insulation.htm

In addition, if you haven't compared energy prices recently, don't forget that simply switching your energy prices can easily save you in excess of £100 a year. According to a recent study, an average of 149,000 UK households switch their gas or electricity each week with an average saving made by switching energy suppliers of £140. uSwitch for example is a free, impartial online comparison and switching service that helps you compare prices on gas, electricity, home telephone, digital tv and broadband providers. The company has developed a series of calculators that evaluate a number of key factors including price, location, service and payment method, making it really easy to find the most appropriate provider for your own particular circumstances.
