    My idea is to raise extra money via reviews, mystery shops and ebay to pay for the holiday and mine and my DD spending money so there is no need to impact on my savings.

    Good plan - I noticed you'd added a few extra reviews. Just when I was about to take you off my cof due to inactivity :p

    It's for your own good! This is very much a case of a stick working better than a carrot, as you're writing again anyway :rotfl:

    You're stick did indeed work as I have started reviewing again, really must get back into the habit as its relatively easy money really isnt it. I would love to earn £50 a month from Dooyoo but not sure how practical that actually is.

    I've earned £50 a month every month this year so far........and I don't do more than a couple a day, not even every day - sometimes I do 3 on a weekend day, but never more than that! So it is very doable.

    Sadly, my brain is like jelly at the mo, so I've not reviewed for about 3 weeks........no doubt relegated by all and sundry too :o
