    I think I need to make another 200 pounds to cover all bought and still to buy stuff - so that's sparkling star status, I'll not include anything I have in the kitty already (I have 20pounds in paypal, 30pounds sainsburys vouchers, have a five pound morrisons voucher, about 20pounds tesco and 8 pounds boots points, I have 10pound amazon voucher coming from toluna, 20 argos coming from ipsos and just a few points off 20 from lightspeed which will amazon vouchers, I have about 40 I'm waiting to claim for topcashback, amongst other survey sites that I have money mounting up in) - so to speak as they already accounted for.

    So to make 200 pounds I need to do some ebaying - get on with some more surveys and do a music magpie redeem.

    Off I go.................

    Jammy - I'll not do a sep 1st update as I've redeemed a lot recently so my totals are right down, not far to go just this last 200pounds and I should be fully neutral for all my birthdays and christmas 2009:j:j:j

    If I earn anything after this 200 that will help towards days out and pantomines, etc; at christmas.....eeehhhhh so excited.

    I also might use the tesco points for christmas booze and the sainsbury vouchers for some christmas food, how neutral can I get :-)

    hi all, glad to see everyone's doing well!! my total so far is £3.90 from ebay!

    I have also joined dooyoo this week and am finding it quite hard work to be honest, I try to write in my lunch hour when I will just be sitting there surfing the net anyway ;)

    my question is, when can I add my dooyoo balance to my total, when I actually receive my first vouchers?

    Xmas Saver!
    I know I have previuosly, raved about halfcost, but the latest parcel I have recieved is appalling, have emailed customer services and am waiting...

    Ordered a mix + match parcel, including 12 vodka sets, parcel came today, very exicted.

    The address label was correct.
    The invoice correct - was miffed to see sticker saying vodka out of stock, fair enough, its happened before and theyve refunded.

    The actual parcel contained-
    4 x boxes dolphin wall plaques, as soon as I lifted the boxes, they all rattled, smashed to pieces

    2 x princess compact mirrors

    1 x size 8 pink top.

    None of these items were on my order.....

    OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING VERY DODGY HAS GONE ON,

    Its the 1st incident I've had, but enough to cause concern.

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Finally got over the £30 mark on Valued opinions :j. Just need the points to go onto my account and I'll cash it
    Haven't had my toluna voucher yet though :o
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    thanks for the note mum2one :)

    gemm - add your total whenever you want. yes i agree dooyoo was a total pain at first but by the time yo uget your 200000 miles you will have enough people rating your reviews anyway. make sure you read and rate lots too. it gets easier.

    welldone padster and everyone else :)

  • mum2one - let us know how you get on, i hope its just a honest mix up and they fix things for you very quick.... - i ordered for the first time this week from them so waiting to see what happens with them
