    Savvy - thanks so much. :) I enjoy crafting when I do it, I just don't have time, since I gave up looking after my neice and then the Avon, I've had to concentrate on the money making more. OH's money pays the bills, but mine buys presents and goodies.

    Two years running I've done an elf for Elysia - and both years, I've had to stop before Christmas eve, as she's been unwell. I think the excitement gets to her. I have so much fun, and you can do it with a little one too, You can do as little, or go as overboard as you like - It's all good fun. :)

    Legend - I went straight to ebay and bought my girl elf. I've been 'watching' it for months, but as I had funds from my sales, I bought her. Not the cheapest one out there, but she matches her 'husband' Jingles. I got both of mine from America. Type Elf Plush into the search engine and you'll find some.

    Did you have a look at the blog? Elysia thought the underwear on the Christmas tree was hysterical.

    ETA: Knit, I've just been looking at your bl*g - great minds think alike hun. We've even got the same bags with the name embroidered on. ;)

    Oooh all this talk of Christmas is making me happy and excited. I love it. :D

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I came on to ask, Michelle and anyone on swagb*ucks - I signed up a while ago but couldn't get on with it. As there was nothing on Tv tonight, I thought I'd give it another go. Do I do the daily poll, and the tasks and that's it, or is there something I'm missing? Not too sure of it to be truthful - I tried doing one task but got confused - easily done with me nowadays. :(

    You get one point for logging on, one for the daily poll, 2 for doing the NOSO section by skipping through the adverts, and i just noticed the other day you get one point for clicking on the trusted surveys section.

    I've never got any SB by doing surveys, but someone did. Was it savvy? Brain is mush tonight so sorry for not remembering.

    You can also get between 7-50 SB up to 4 times a day if you download the toolbar and use it as a search engine. I do this by putting in stuff we go to anyway like OP, viva, google.

    If you watch some of the videos 2, if you watch 10 then you get 3 SB. (They won't start playing if you go to another web page, but you can when they start playing. ) as an added bonus, you sometimes get codes come up at the bottom of the video screen.

    Also, most days there are codes released and published on the 2 sites i mentioned before. I have now got myself a twitter account as if you use this you can get them to text you for free when a code is published. I am doing a lot better since i got myself organised as i always know as soon as it comes out.

    See if that helps. I'm off to bed now, but if you are still struggling tomorrow hon i can help more then.

    I didnt have any sales last night after all, its tonight they finish and only one selling so far. Just checked into my NV account and its gone up by another £2 some how, so only £3 remaining on there now. I am sure I havent done any surveys though. Didnt have any in my in box that I qualified for but might have later on this afternoon. Going to go and do some sewing this morning as got withdrawal symptoms where OH was asleep all week.
