    Jen, from what i can remember postal orders only cost the buyer money, for you to cash them its free i think. If you are going to accept postal orders make sure they are stamped by the post office and you get them cashed before shipping out the item. I've used postal orders before and they seem pretty safe, but you can never be too careful.

    Morning guys,

    I also woke up early, not sure why, i didn't go to bed till gone 1 as was waiting up for OH whilst watching prison break, so not really had much sleep. I think the wind and rain woke me, its a horrible day today.

    Well done on the £5 win, i'm starting to realise now its def worth the £10 signup fee. You make your money back in no time. I might give it a go.

    When did you start writing reviews on dooyoo Jen? it says the 6th September, is that right? or is it more recent you have earned the points? just trying to woke up how long it might take me to earn 10,000, i won't be an addicted member. So far i have 1,315 and i started late last night. Possibly a week to make one voucher, depending how many reviews i rate and write a day, def won't be more than 2.

    xx

    hi hayley yukki referered me to dooyoo back in sept and it took me a good month to pull my finger out i started writing reviews last weekend i thing but don't quote me i am going so much online i am starting to lose my marbles. the scratchcard thing won't cost you £10 you just need to put the £10 in them take it back out unless you do it via a cashback site then you have to bet the lot. if you do it without he cashback just pick a site that does the free scratchcards. (butlins, little woods, ann summers, etc) registar open an account use the free £1 bonus in the bingo then depsoist £10 do a free scratchcard (2 free cards if you do it today there are 2 on sundays) then once you have done the free card take your money back out and leave 10p of your winnings in there. then everyday if you get time log in and do the free card till you get up to £10.10 then you can take another £10 out you always have to have at least 10p in there to do the free cards good luck

    Morning everyone. What a miserable day! I got up this morning, had a play fight with OH and we split a sqeezy cushion so have little balls over the bed! Went downstairs and moved a cushon to sit down and a HUGE mother of a spider ran out from under it and hid in the cracks of the sofa. Now I'm back in the bed covered in minute valls lol as too scared to sit on the sofa!

    Hayley if you read the matched betting thread a few times it gets easy to understans. I'll help if you want me to. It's not risky unless you make it risky as effectively you're betting for one team to win with one bookie, and then you're also betting for the same team to lose with another bookie, so whatever the outcome you'll get your money back. The way to make the money in matched betting is through the free bets that the bookies offer you.

    Off to do my scratchcards and write a review.

    well you get 500 points per review so worse case is you write 20 review to make 10,000 for a £10 voucher but if you are going to spend time reading and reviewing it will be a week if you do 2 reviews a day and do lots of rating! i have rated 331 reviews and my reviews have been rated 259! so that is good going!
    i am so glad i did dooyoo other wise i would have had toi go back to slice the pie!!

    Thanks yukkibear, i will have a ready about matched better, then anything i don't understand i will ask you if thats okay?

    I'm definately sticking to just 2 reviews a day, more than that will turn me mad. I will just rate lots of other peoples reviews. Right, i must crack on with my next two reviews for the day.

    Anybody got much planned for today? its horrible weather, windy, rainy, cold. Ideal day to have a lazy Sunday!! My OH is taking me out for dinner later, so i have the whole day to mooch around on here, write reviews, then when he gets home from work later i'll have a free meal out - yay!!
