    Duchy - result!!

    DT, if I have a good scratchcard day - eg I get a £1 or £5, I buy a strip of tickets that cost 60p or something, just so that I don't get rumbled.......

    Like Karmacat, I expect to get booted out every day, so every time I withdraw something it is a bonus, and a very nice one. I hope it continues but like all good things I am sure it will come to an end sooner rather than later, so just need to be happy while it lasts!

    Just done a mystery shop at a well known pizza place.......am now stuffed :o

    yes that trading programme made stockbroking look really stressful and high pressure although some did make bad decisions and the boss man was just scary!

    hypno how many dooyoo reveiws do you have to do a day to get £50 is it 3 for 30days? you get many reveiwed earning you more points?
    whats 10,000 points worth is it £10 amazon will they pay cash?
    did my first 3 today and already nearly up to 1700 I stuck to whatI know and been very lenthy and detailed.

    I signned up for mystery shopping but had no enails do i actually have to log onto their sites to see if any jobs for me?

    The number of reviews varies before you get payout - when you get to 10000 points, you can have a £10 amazon voucher, or if you keep going to 50000 points you can have £50 cash. How quickly you get that many points depends on how many people rate your reviews etc, and whether you get awarded a crown etc.

    It takes time, and I would be careful not to "churn" out too many, but it is worth it I reckon!

    Mystery shopping - some send you an email, some expect you just to keep checking the site.....it depends who you are with?

    and yes, the job is a tad stressful at times......those times being between waking and going to sleep :rotfl: But I am glad I am not doing anything else :D

    Thanks for advice and reveiwing my reveiw just read one of your latest and you right its very addictive.
    Im not sure if I will get to £50 will see but guess amazon vouchers be very handy too.

    will check mystery shoppoing sites think I signed up with grassroots and one other but asumed they send email but only signed up other week and assumed they maybe inundated and i dident meet their criteria.

    Been really slow on surveys latly going to request £5 from lightspeed towards cc took them over a week last tiime.
    Need to cath up on comping wanted to enter 70-100 a week now think bit ambitious and finding entry forms tediious.
    what is driving me mad is the daily cadbury comp where you got 45seconds to open as many boxes to find a present could be chocolate could be a wii!
    Anyway I enter daily twice on oh email too and dont win a sausage.
    Although comping not exactly reliable income aim is to win high value goods to sell on and then pay off more debt!
    Think mse making me crazy!

    Its good you enjoy job too must have its perks.

    Its "horses for courses", isn't it .... comping is one way of helping the df date. I've decided to investigate doing little hand-knitted stuffywotsits of various sorts, while I'm sitting waiting for my particular trading signal - can't use any websites, because I forget the time, even with my alarm set. So I've been working my way through the Knitters Thread - can't remember which board its on, I think its the OS one, and its lovely.

  • Thank you Hypno and Karmacat for the replies about the bingo. I have just withdrawn on one and only just started on the other so haven't get much to play with yet but I agree it is worth playing to keep the scratchcards at least I am not trying to run multiple accounts so hopefully should be OK.

    I am so glad I read about mystery shopping on this thread :TI have had jobs every day this week 2 today, phone and a burger so I am stuffed too. Non food tomorrow and 3 petrol jobs later in the week and another burger so that is looking good.

    Wow, DT, good for you - you'll really be making inroads at that rate. I keep thinking about you and your twins x 2, and how hard you must work. I lead such a dozy life, by comparison with you (and with Hypno).

  • hi everyone, hope you are all having good days! Lucky you Hypno Pizza for tea yummy!

    Gailey, with comping mud sticks so the more you can enter the more chance you have of winning! When I was winning loads I would enter 1000+ per week!!! Saying that, ive not won hardly anything since last summer, its the luck of the draw really but if you keep entering you will get lucky one day! Or thats what I keep telling myself!

    I'm slowly working myself up to entering more again but my motivation seems to have gone i'm spending too much time on this site of late! x

  • Hi Karmacat

    I have a very good OH or else I wouldn't be able to cope at all. At the moment all the extra money is going towards the car he wants it would be lovely if it could go towards the debts but he deserves this. Still haven't heard if he has won one though comp finished yesterday but no winner announced on website yet and no phonecall one can but dream:rolleyes:. Then I could really get debtbusting but the sooner he gets the car the sooner all the extra cash goes against the debts so must keep going.

    Anyway you don't sound dozy to me. (and in comparison to Hypno we are all snails I think)

    DTxx
