    Sarah people count money when they want to, personally I only count it when I have the cash/vouchers in my hands, so something like onepoll I wouldnt include until I cash out.

    As for me, today nothing to add but I'm ploughing through some dooyoo and ciao alerts in the hope of reducing my backlog and a few return reads/rates to boost my pennies on there. Still no sign of my two amazon vouchers (did I mention I'm starting to get antsy about spending them on the camera??), and waiting for the cheque from a survey panel, just need one more survey from valued opinions and I can claim another £10 voucher but given how long it can take for the amounts to be added that wont be until next month either now (probably just missing out on the camera order- unless I get the survey today in which case I might be able to resist another 3 weeks or so).
    Also had a reprieve for my bank account as the suggested long weekend away with the male wont be happening now until next month at the earliest - hmm do I really want to go and meet his sister already?

    So saying I needed another VO survey, got one so think I might try to resist the urge to buy the camera for a few more weeks as I shall soon have another £10 amazon voucher towards it :j:T

  • Just 35p from Onepoll today - not much, but better than nothing I suppose! I was getting Valued Opinions surveys through nearly every day in December but have only had 1 in Jan (which I got screened out of!) so thats a bit annoying - hopefully they're just a bit slow starting back after Christmas?

    My daily clicks seem to be tracking okay so far, but won’t include those until they pay out. It was a free £1 on St Miniver for logging in too - again, not counting that until it pays out! I was quite productive today and phoned my mobile provider - as I’m not even using half my minutes per month, which seems such a waste. They agreed to cut my minutes down and take £5 a month off my bill, so am happy with that! Will add the £5 saved once my next bill arrives, as not sure when it starts from :D Also transferred my (small) savings pot from my current account where it’s been earning NO interest, into my new savings account - so hopefully should start to see a bit of interest trickle in from next month. It’ll only be a couple of pounds a month to start with, but every little helps and all that!

    Sorry - I am fairly new, but you’ll all soon come to realise I write essays for everything :o :rotfl:

    I don't seem to be able to withdraw my money/vouchers from bingoport. When I click on redeem it says check back later. Is that right?

    There were some problems with the site last night so try again hun
    Hm, it sounds great apart from the vouchers thing... I rarely spend on Amazon. Is there a choice of vouchers, or is it just Amazon? If I had them, I could of course find uses for them, but I would feel that I was spending for the sake of it!

    I think its Amazon only, or you can use the money to play real bingo on other sites. Amazon codes make nice christmas presents if you don't want to spend them yourself someone else might like them and it'll save you some money

    OR buy something with the vouchers and sell it on

    Today I have made £2.40 on the scratchcards and £16.03 cashback:j

    I'm fed up. I have tried so hard, was really careful for Christmas and felt like I was getting somewhere. Doing well on this challenge, joined dooyoo and bingoport and scratchcards, all good. Today had problem with car, went into garage and its going to cost me £358. I feel crushed.

    Sorry for the moan. I have made £20 today, had a moan about poor service before Christmas and got £20 back. Will update my signature.

    Thanks Purpleroses, I know its worth carrying on, I know it would be worse if I'd overspent at Christmas because the car would still have needed fixing but I just feel its one step forward and two steps back. Never mind tomorrow we start again.
