Woo hoo. I actually did a survey today for the 8,000 points I needed on toluna. Just got to wait for them to be added and I'll apply for my voucher too.

Still waiting for Dooyoo voucher I had redeemed over a week ago.

I applied for another voucher yesterday but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was for!

Everyone's doing so well, Well done!!! :T:T:T

Well, I managd one review so far today, hopefully will get another one done as now my Dooyoo money is going to be my main source of present buying money for a few months as our local council has messed us up something rotten and has told us we owe them £500 more in council tax and they have passed our debt on to their bailiffs. I don't know what we're going to do as our budget was pretty tight to begin with, so have just joined Onepoll and Valued Opinions to try and make some more money so we can at least cover "token presents" for birthdays and the like. I guess I'll be making my mum a cake for Mothers Day and maybe some earrings if I can figure out what she would wear!

I joined Quidco a while ago, but never really got the hang of it. Will have to try again. Does anyone have any pointers to get me going with it?

At our local credit union we can save for Christmas by having a special savings book from now until November, when we can withdraw the money for Christmas. For every £50 we save we get £2. The maximum amount is £500, so if anyone saved that amount they would get an extra £20! A very good rate I'm sure you agree, and plenty of money saved up for Christmas expenses. Try your local credit union.

Do you have children? A lot of my reviews are about baby equipment or my son's toys and books.

I recommend taking a notebook and pen into each room of the house. Start in the bathroom, and write down at least 5 products you see that you have an opinion about. E.g. in the bathroom it might be your shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, body wash and toilet cleaner. If you do that in every room you will end up with a massive list of things to review!

You could review dvds and books, but I personally find those reviews really difficult to write. I always want to talk about the ending, as that's usually what the main part of my opinion is about, but then I would give away too much of the storyline so I just don't review dvds or books (except children's).

I;ve given up with toluna now it drives me mad, not done any clicks or surveys for months and I haven't had many through the last month or so. Just waiting for my voucher then I will be closing my account.

Toonie - with quidco what you do is before you buy anything, check out the prices online first, then whatever retailer you has the best price check for them on quidco. It may be that there is a deal on or extra cashback for a first purchase, but I don't buy ANYTHING now without first checking quidco. I have used quanti and topcashback but quidco (in my opinion) is definatley the best.

Join the no spend quidclan and there will be a list of loads of things that you sign up for and they will pay you just for joining their site. I use a seperate email for this as you will get loads of spam.

Since joining quidco 28 feb last year I have had over £600 in cashback, and about £90 spread between topcashback and quanti. So it's definately worth the little bit of extra effort.

If you need more help pm me. xxx
