    Checked my email just now and had my £20 Amazon voucher from Dooyoo. I have ordered some more dvds for OH, they will definitely have to be the last. He has only got dvds and his money towards his phone but there are loads of dvds so am going to leave it at that.

    I still have another £20 voucher due from Love Film. Think I will keep that by for now, hopefully it will have a long date on it.

    In all honestly I personally found it not really worth the effort, everything has to be broken down, eg homemade shepherd pie, they want all the ingredients listed, I would say u each day would take at least an hour to fill in, not sure how many weeks there are per study, if it was 2 weeks,

    14 days x 4 sets of surveys, 52 days, just over £1.30 a day.

    Sorry if I synicial, x

    Thanks for your honesty, it does sound carp when you put it that way, but when I think of all the time I spend doing surveys every day that I get screened oput of after 10 mins and have earned nothing - it doesn't look that bad!
    So annoyed, I joined a load recently and I get about 5 invites a day, I'm lucky if I get to complete one every few days, I'm not eligible for any! :mad:

    Did get another £25 Amazon voucher off DooYoo yesterday :j not sure what to spend it on, maybe my xmas pressie, if I ever decide what I want!

    Treat yourself, you do enough for everybody else with thre xmas prezzies, u deserve a treat.

    Thinking when you put the food survey like that, it actualy sounds worthwhile, I hate it when half way through the surveys, you get screened out.
    One tip - fill it in every day, otherwise you 4get and then thats when the fun + games start. xx

  • OMG have we all been getting no extra money, found this thread way back on page 5:eek:. Must admit not had much through the past week or so, managed a £5 amazon redeem this morning on bp, and need to wait for email of B.view to see how much I've made this month with them. Hope everyone is ok and looking forward to crimbo......
