    eeevening!
    The rules changed in BP again a wee while back, to get an amazon voucher you need 10,000 points and need to have played 2000s worth during the week. they also give you £2 for another bingo site with the amazon voucher but i never bother with it. it seems to take waaay longer to claim vouchers but there are a lot less people playing nowadays and there are more games with larger pots

    I know what ya mean about getting rid of the debt asap! i feel really geared up for June so going to attempt to sell as much as i can. Got my first cheque from music magpie the other day so going to ship off the last of my cds to them.

    Thanks for that! Think I'll try get back into doing a wee bit everyday and see how it goes :)

    Did Music Magpie pay out fairly quick? The OH has a stack of cd's and dvd's that we need to go through and could do with getting shot quickly.

    Manage 18 new items on ebay tonight but I've had enough now, I'll put 12 on my list for tomorrow instead of the 10 and get some photos taken just now so I'm not doing it all tomorrow evening.

    Well done on ebay. i've spent the night doing surveys uhhhh so boring!

    Music magpie paid in about 3 weeks so not bad really. Happy to get rid of them really. just be sure the cd covers aren't cracked else they won't pay you for it.

    Ooohh, surveys! I'd forgotten about them, haven't done a l!ghtspeed one in forever, I hate when you get halfway through and the give you a "we've already had enough participants" or a "you do not qualify" screen :mad: why don't they just say that at the start!

    That's not a bad pay-out time, will probably have to do some case swapping for some of his to qualify :rotfl:

    I'm procrastinating a bit tonight, haven't got anything on ebay yet :o really should get a move-on with it or it'll end up being too late to list!

    I know its so freaking annoying! thats why i love p!necone you never get screened out!

    Forgot to say if you sell to music magpie be sure to go through quidco to get a few more pennies.

    Tomorrow is ebay until my fingers fall off day.

    Did you managed any listings?

    I've not managed to get into pc yet :( didn't know mm were on quidco either, thanks!

    I managed 8 listings the other night but nothing over the last few days, had a wedding to go to on Friday (which was so much fun and I didn't spend a penny :)) so thursday night was rollers in the hair and do my nails, Friday morning was rush around making sure th OH had his kilt and was getting ready, then yesterday was major hangover day :o

    You get many done yourself?

    I'm working my way through relists just now, then if I've got time I'll see if I can get 5 done before we go to watch 24 :)

    pc are recruiting again, i saw someone on the £10 a day challenge had a link. definatley worth while joining! they tend to send stuff too for you to test.

    I just did some relists, been busy decluttering my room so ready to get going tomorrow night with them.

    ohh i love 24! gutted its been cancelled!

    Think I tried signing up the last time the were recruiting but no luck, will hunt the link down and try again :)

    You all set for listing tonight? I've been sorting through stuff and listing a few bits this afternoon, missing out on all the sun outside but needs must!

    The guys are most disappointed at it being cancelled, can't wait to see how it's going to end next week. Will Jack die? If he does then what about the movie cos Kiefer's in the too? Argh, excitement!

    lol i know so many questions! what ever happened to Tony Almeda!! he has to come back. Jack can't die else there'd be one boring movie!! at least the questions will be answered unlike lost!!

    Ready for listings, aiming for 3 a day this week

    I'm watching it a bit backwards :o The OH had seasons 1-6 which I avoided watching until the middle of last year, then got hooked on! Started watching season 7 at the same time as 8, but I'm watching it through Lovefilm so it's taking longer and I don't have a scooby what happened in the second half of 7 yet :rotfl:

    Trying to resist the temptation of looking next weeks episodes up online since they've already been shown in the US, so far I'm doing well, but it is only Monday!

    We were reckoning that Jack could die and would be back in the movie like a ghost following Chloe around - think that's a bit too far fetched (but would be funny)

    I only watched to season 3 of Lost, since I don't have Sky I managed 3 online but couldn't watch four and just forgot about it really. Did read up on the ending though and it just confused me muchly :o

    Did you manage the listings tonight? I got photos done for another 6 tonight, nothing near where I wanted to get done, but at least it's a wee bit!

    Think I'm going to start drawing up wee daily to-do lists again to keep me on track, the motivation is slipping slighty and I can't let it at all :(
