Excellent idea - thanks! Will try and remember to go round with a notebook tomorrow...

You're welcome, glad it helps

Elysia - well done on your win :T

I didn't manage the extra review last night, I was too tired. I've written one this morning so that takes me up to 3. Not sure I'll manage 2 more today but all of these are extra as I wouldn't have written them without the challange. It's given me a good kick :rotfl: thanks Jammy!

I've been very naughty - but very mse....

Brought one of those beaded bracelets last yr for myself had it made up in Tavistosk, then I saw the Argos ones which were much better so got them. then b4 xmas, in Prima you just paid the p+p, and u got one of those bracelets with starter middle and 2 decorated balls, - put them up safe and thought I'll split the beads off the 1st and make 2 bracelets for the 18th we've got this yr..... Sods law put them up so safe couldn't find them, so Argos to the rescue and got the Morgan watches.

Yesterday while doing the wrapping found the bracelets, so took the watches back, made up the presents and going to put them on ebay...... the original price was £45 but I pd £11 so hopefully they should sell, put them on later for 7 days then that give them the weekend viewers, wish me luck xx

It really varies on how long the reviews are. I try to read all the reviews properly so if they are really long ones then they can take quite a while. I admit I have occasionally skimmed a little bit of the especially long reviews, but I do read most of them thoroughly. Some of the shorter reviews can be read properly in less than a minute, the longer ones take more time.

Most of my dooyoo time is in the evening when my son has gone to bed, so I'm also watching tv at the same time, which makes everything take longer!

Thanks for the congratulations everyone!

Susan - I must admit I do read the whole review but some are so long (and boring) that I skim towards the end too!

Well done on your reviews Nicky - I must admit, I only got around to doing the one, and that was pre-written while I was awaiting for the suggestion to be added to dooyoo (cheat LOL).

Very well done to EVERYONE who wrote reviews this weekend, I will review them this evening or tomorrow morning if I can't manage to review them all.

Well done everyone, once again! :T:T:T

Arrgghh - I just counted all the people in my circle of friends on Dooyoo. As people add me, I add them as it's only fair and now I have 76. It's no wonder it takes forever to review everyone (that's what's putting me off dooyoo at the moment). Oh well best get on with it.

Not doing too well so far on the challenge - just haven't had any time to go into town to scout round the charity shops - I'm aiming to go tomorrow now!

I've listed 6 things on Ebay, so hopefully will have some luck on there - they run until Sunday - I have had 1 bid on one item so far 99p earned :j

Hope you are all having a good day!

elysia2003

Jane - well done on listing your items on ebay. There's plenty of time left to find something to sell and complete this month's challenge!

Well done - I MUST list my stuff - I may even be inspired to do it later, especially has a few of you have listings running at the mo. :j

I have thought about signing up to dooyoo. Everyone who talks about it, says its worth doing. I try to keep up with reading all of these threads about saving/making money but between bills, hubbie and a VERY active 2 yr old, I seem to get sidetracked! I hope you all don't mind if I add you on there when I get round to signing up lol!
