    Well did 360 miles today for work so that's over £100 after subtracting fuel cost from what I get back from milage allowance. Should get one more of those trips in this month with any luck so hoping for £200 from expenses this month - won't see them till febs paycheck which sucks but never mind... Should get Decembers expenses then too which is is over £100 - all adding up!
    Ebay has 3 items ending this weekend - all have bids on them and are at I think £27.40 with over 2 days to go - so all rocks :)
    did my free scratch cards and got 30p in total - it all helps!
    Need to re-do my thread with my new totals :)

    Yukki- i recon this might interest you? It could interest any of you though

    Well all good things must come to an end and we have just had word that [URL="wlmailhtml:!!3D5B76BA-A0A8-4624-920D-698019311B4E}mid://00000033/!x-usc:http://t.ymlp82.com/jeuakaubyagauhmyacaumhy/click.php"]SKYBET[/URL] are ending their free £20 offer tomorrow and dropping it to £10, now that is one price reduction we don't like.

    Strange-a couple of months ago i applied for a vanquid visa card through quidco for £20 cashback, vanquis phoned me for more details which invalidates your application as its not completed online. Sure enough a few days later my cashback was declined. Just been on quidco and my £20 has been recieved????!!!!! not that i'm complaining but how strange?!

    I dont mean to sound rude but....OK, I GET IT! If you read my previous post i said i wasnt going to bother with comparedby.us anyway and when i copy and pasted my 1 review from dooyoo i had already written in my profile you can also find my reviews on dooyoo, untill i found out you couldnt do that.

    Ah, but I replied to what you said originally:
    stacy wrote:
    but will try every now and then and see how long i will survive copying and pasting if i can be bothered.

    I wasn't objecting to a mistake (i.e. copying and pasting until you found out you're not supposed to) it was your statement that you would try to slip some copying and pasting under the net to see 'how long you would survive'.

    Stacy, I realise you're feeling like you're getting the brunt of something, but there has been a real issue lately of some people trying to fleece opinion sites for all they are worth, regardless of how it affects the community, and how it potentially affects the financial viability of the sites.

    I'm not accusing you, Stacy, of bringing down these sites, or even of trying to. However, you did state that you were at least contemplating copying even after you found out you're not allowed to.

    If you meant something else...well...it's not how it came across in your post.

    Again, I'm not meaning to single you out specifically, but I (and other opinion site community members) are desperately trying to get across the realities of opinionating (i.e. that you can't earn a fortune from doing it; that the sites have rules; that there is a community; and that it can be a fun hobby that just happens to pay pennies).

    Cheers
