sarahf191979

Finished going through all my emails now and have done a few more surveys so a few more pennies and pounds towards vouchers, got a coffee in Costa this morning while waiting for DS1 to finish his drama classes and it was horrid, I complained and they made me another which was just as back, really milky and no COFFEE taste so they gave me my money back and offered me another COFFEE which was much nicer so thats £2.60 saved

I have given up on all clicks now. so survey sites and dooyoo, oh and the free scratchcards are all I do now.

i am the same, daily clicks were too time consuming and dooyoo is much more interesting and better money. i only do surveys and scratchies too. will just wait for cashbacks to go to received.
i havent been on onepoll for months and only have £11 on there but think i should start doing that again.
lightspeed i have 930 pts so only 170 pts off £10 there. VO is about £8 i think.

I've just voted , I love it!!
I'm £6.80 off of the £40 on onepoll. It seems to take so long, but isnt time consuming at all so when I finally get my 1st £40 voucher i'll be over the moon lol. Mum2one thats brilliant how much you got for the gold . I've got my mums old wedding ring (from her marrage to my dad, who we both dispise!) and a ring that someone bought her (god knows who!) plus a ring that my grandad found agess ago, handed it in to lost property at the police station where he worked but after no one collected it for a year It was given to him who gave it to me. I don't know wether to sell them, cos I don't want to let them go for naff all!!
I know that the one my grandad found would actually be worth around £4000, but the thingy (yes, very technical, the centre bit had a face outline thingy on in some sort of white stone or something) but its so old that it has worn away, and so worth !!!!!! all!! LOL, typical!
hhhmmmm, should I sell them?! xx

Well If you wouldn't get anything from selling via Ebay as it is old and worn, it would be worth taking it to a jewellers and asking how much it would be worth for the gold alone. Gold had never been such a high price - you may be surprised.

Send my best wishes and say good luck to your mum for me.

Won't be long before the payout, its the last £5 that drags it out, mums shes down to 85p off £40.00

The wedding ring, ur mums ring if there not sentimental or anything I'd sell them. I personally would go down the jewellers line, but like anything else shop around. Esp try a jewellers that sell 2nd hand rings,as it might be worth more than scrap.
Maybe worth getting a valuation off the jewellers and contact a local auction house, with the jewellers,make sure its a sale value as they might think its for house ins and go for replacement value, which sometimes could be double the price of a scrap value, which is what the gold based on.

My thoughts - with all the postal offers, I know they go special delievery, but the cost of postage I presume would be taken off the cost, but I think face to face you see the weight on the scales, and you know (esp if you have tried a couple of places) that your dealing with and it will be done and dusted there and then.

I would postal service if there was a cash back and odd earrings that I could make the minimum weight up, as the cashback would be a bonus, but anything more, stick with jewellers.
