    total newbie to scrap

    My name is Chris I lost my job working in the local factory and am forced to move back in with my mother and need to find some way to earn my keep. I am eager to learn how to make a decent amount of money for my time and effort because I refuse to be a charity case but up until this point the only thing I have ever recycled was cans so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to hear of you losing your job!

    The cans are a start mate, no matter how small or large you scrap is or will be, you have the right determination for it.
    Firstly i would say, read as much as you can on the forum, there is a wealth of information on here,
    The forum has a good membership base, with everyone willing to help out!

    Welcome to the forum Chrizzle. Hopefully you can scarp your way back on to your feet.

    Good luck.

    I searched Chrizzle and the urban dictionary has this definition,

    1. chrizzle

    Chronic
    "You wanna go smoke sum chrizzle right now? "

    2. chrizzle

    the holy one. the messiah.
    "the passion of the chrizzle" a smell dibson film.

    Do these pertain to you or do you have another meaning to your user name? As you can see I'm bored!

    What a well rounded forum we have become. Where else can you go to ID metal to maximize profit, define the latest term or phrase, become a computer geek and get tax advise(good or bad)??
