  • Can you get a couple of tea towels Rufus they'll fill it up a bit and if you get checked ones would give a rustic feel to the basket.

    Sold 2 things on the work site today another £12 to add in - only the small things though none of the boxed games or jigsaws so haven't cleared much space :mad:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Good idea Paddington, I will have a look for some tea towels, thanks for that xx

    Have had email from Moneyback Madness to say they have sent me a payment of £25, should be in my bank next week. We are going out for the day shopping on Tuesday so hoping I will have some more of this extra cash then though havent really got a lot to get for Xmas.
  • Well done everyone :j

    Finally got my CDwow E.voucher of toluna yesterday which got spent on a doctor who encyclopidia for DS1 so another pressie on its way.

    Did anyone else get their free bold liquid wash??? forgot all about it and have had 2 delivered this week so that saves a few more pennies and there is £5 worth of vouchers in with it too:j (Shame mr t's has stopped taking vouchers unless your buying product :o)

    My free Bold liquid arrived this week too, it smells nice :) I haven't used it yet, might try it tomoorw. I was impressed with the size of it, it should last a while.

    I'm up tp 8660 total, think about 5000 have been this week. I have struggles as well. Did quite a few reviews beginning of week but they were not very long and am just waiting for someone to comment on them lol. They were over the required amount though. Just that my mind goes blank and I cant think of anything to write. Think I will have a go now and do a few more shops as I find them easier. Any quite a way off the 20000 mark so long way to go yet.

    Managed to claim £20 from Loyaltry Shopper this morning, means I have quite a bit coming over the next week or so from the daily clicks. Have gone by the recommendation of someone on the Free Daily Cashback thread and downloaded the Google browser called chrome for doing the clicks. It is so much faster than using Firefox. I was finding it taking me nearly all morning to do all the sites as Firefox kept slow responding and I used to have to shut it down and reopen it every site. This morning it took me under 2 hours, not sure how long exactly but its less than hafl the time I was doing them so very pleased with that.

    Have hit my Dooyoo 10k target (just) and only had to write 10 reviews to I don't think that's too bad. Off to read and rate now.
    How's everyone else done?
