    :mad: This is really stressing me

    Furrypig posted a message to kaz on bp

    Someone put... you need to be in uk to redeem points.
    I posted i am in Nottingham.Others in Surrey we are all over UK.
    Next post underneath says ..... You need to be in UK to redeem could that be the problem ?

    :rotfl:Now i didnt take geography at school. But i am sure that Nottingham and Surrey are both in uk !!! :rotfl:

    How comes we get banned from redeeming.When its obvious these people arent even reading posts !!! They are just posting for points not anything else..

    That must of been where we were going wrong !! :rolleyes: We actually reply to questions and comments.

    its true, this annoys me too, cos sometimes i ask questions but no one ever answered them :( still not heard anything either. its gets to me that they can just say that but then dont give you any valid reason for doing it. so what if we are all on mse? they want more members and this is a great way for them to attract more members by word of month. banning us because we all are members on here is ridiculous!

    i kept reading about you have to play bingo and not just post but even if we were denied a redeem because we only post then that would be one redeem we were denied not all redemtions. makes no sense at all!!

    I have emailed again but no response also checked the forum and no answers to my threads. So will just have to wait and see what happens!

    in the meantime I need to get on with making money another way and maybe I will get round to starting selling on ebay!!

    I've just been to collect loads of boxes from my MIL, i've had them stored in her shed for about 2 years! Got a lot of stuff to list on ebay and amazon now and I really must make myself do it! Anything that doesn't sell is going on Freecycle. I will be organised and I will get rid of all this junk!! I am giving myself a two week time limit. I'm going to put it in my sig and everything. :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
    I :heart2: my doggies
  • Sounds like bingoport are just being awkward now. :( Hope it does get sorted for you all.

    And hayley11 thanks for the reminder! Now going to ebay! I always forget about it xD

    Xmas Saver!
    getting there with my gifts

    Fathers day next -
    Dad (off me) crop trs, tshirt, set of 4 mini malt whisky (m+s xmas sale ) £8

    Dad (off dd) crop trs, tshirt, 2 deordrants, best dad mug £7.00
    (when she was younger she couldnt say grandad, so she called him dadda, even now she stills calls him it, bless her thou she asked him does he want to be called grandad or can she still call him dadda - he stuck with dadda).

    Uncle - DD calls him grandad - Best grandad mug (£2), just got to get some chocolate to go with it.
    (our family does get compliatated, when Karen was born, my Uncle came to visit us in hospital and said to Karen, come to Grandad, my Aunty corrected him, but as her dad + his family arent around, I asked Uncle + Aunty would they be surrogate grandparents,),

    So course come Bday, + Xmas gets bit more expensive! x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Have got a bid on one of my ebay items, its only 2.50 but better than nothing. Most of the others have watchers but if theyre anything like me they will forget about them until after the item ends.

    Have claimed £10 from Cashinco this morning at last, havent got the payments from Cashback Cascade or Chief yet but hopefully wont take long. Still have 8p to go on Student money back lol, that will be nice when that one is payable as its £25 and I have spent a bit this week what with Daughters new brace and a couple of other bits that I needed.

    Off to do some dreaded housework as my sons coming to pick me up this afternoon to take me to his house. Will be lurking though xx

    Did anyone else get the survey from i think it was Ciao over the weekend that paid £5 for doing some kind of ability test? I only saw it yesterday and had a go, it was really hard lol, like sitting an exam again but harder as it had a clock ticking down. You had multiple choice answers to the questions but half the questions I didnt understand in the first place so just guessed the answers.

    Said if you get through first part you get £5 then if you get through second part which is tomorrow (Tues) and third part on Fri you get another £10. Well I should get the first one ok but not sure if they will ask me to do the second lol.

    Thanks furry :) It'll be impressive if I actually do it! :rotfl: So far i've done blugger all today, it's just so hot and stuffy :o I shall get my bum in gear this afternoon, if I start the first day off bad then I know I won't put much effort in for the rest of the 2 weeks.

    Really must catch up with my emails too, got a couple of lightspeed surveys plus some others to do (if I qualify of course) Typical isn't it, get none for weeks then when I go away I get loads! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    You guys no further forward with bingoport?

    Hi all :hello:
    Phew, I've had a busy weekend sorting the house, garden and roof out. I have put all items to ebay in the roof to store, and only take a few items down at a time, this will hopefully keep my house a little bit uncluttered. A few items sold this weekend so very happy about that.

    As for bingoport, I suggest everyone chooses something else to do in the time they'd normally be doing bingoport - I would spend about half an hour to an hour on there a day, so am now going to spend that time getting things ready for ebay. If they havent got the manners, or inclination to give a reason as to why we're not allowed to redeem then I dont have the inclination to go on there any more.

    I didnt get an email from them Rufusdog

    Mum2one, I always looked forward to, and love your updates! they are always so informative. And your little stories are always welcome. Do you scrapbook? If you dont I think you should, or at least write your stories down for future generations. I wish I'd written my nans down, she lived a full life and had some great tales to tell.

    Wow, thats a big challenge to set yourself Hayley!! Keep us updated on it. How is Amazon to sell on? I have a few books that have never been read that probably never will that I want to sell.
