Hi everyone, I've been a follower of MSE for a few months now, and thought it was high time that I actually say something I hope I'm in the right area, apologies if not!
I started an IVA about 6 months ago, all going ok hard but I'm getting there. I looked on the boards here before doing it, that was how I found you all I've recently signed up to a few survey sites (hence the post positioning!) and been doing ok on them. I use Global Test Market, Toluna, Lightspeed, Valued Opinions, GFK, Vindale Research and One-Poll, and I am waiting to hear from Pinecone (fingers crossed!) If anyone knows of any others, please let me know. I've been looking to sign up to IPSOS as I have seen a few people mention it, but google brings up a lot of different things so if anyone knows which one it is, I would be really thankful
I spend a lot of wasted time at my desk at work, doing nothing, so I thought it was a good way to save for christmas (see forward planning, yay me!) does anyone know of any other computer based things to up your income!
As someone who was terrible with her money, getting into the habit of cutting back was hard, but I have a supportive partner who helps even though he thinks my surveys are a waste of time!!
Well, thats about it really, just wanted to start something off and get myself known a bit, I'll post as often as I can, once I get the hang of how this works xxx

You might also want to look at Yougov and Pureprofile. Also ipoints are quite good. I cash in the points for Odeon vouchers.

Wow Thanks for your help guys, it's really appreciated, I will look into the sites recommended by ali1972 and keep you all updated :rolleyes:
I just had a registration survey come through from the un-named cone so fingers crossed on that one!
Does anyone do the factfinders shopping scanning thing? I've been doing it for a while now and was just wondering if anyone else does it too?

What other money-saving things do people do? I find that the ceramic/metal pots to put coins in helps a lot. We always have people round the house for mini-parites and they all know, that any money found down the back of the sofa after they leave goes in the pot, works both ways too as now they have gotten into the habit of checking before they go, even when at other peoples houses lol

Hi there I hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying the weather if it is good for you
I just wanted to put a little update on here, I was accepted onto the ****cone panel so yay for that I have noticed that the surveys have been slowing down a little lately, which is a little annoying, but I'm still getting at least 1 a day so things are going well all in all
Well, thats it really lol I guess I was just chuffed at my new acceptance as I know it's kinda hard to become part of their panel Have an awesome day everyone xx
