    just wanted to pop on and echo what others have said jammy, don't feel guilty! you have been an absolute star, but i am sure we can all come up with challenges between us, and really, we do know there is life beyond MSE! don't disappear altogether though we would totally miss you!

    On a different note, I have now started a spreadsheet - you are totally sucking me in!!! It is good to have it all written down though, I have got one bit for expenses (so far it has DS1's birthday and mother's day) so I know what I've spent, a bit for survey sites/cashback so I can keep track - it's brilliant to see how much I've got already, not doing nearly as well as some of you (sarah!) but better than last year - and a separate bit for bingoport to see if I tot up the total over the year. I LOVE IT!

    Jamtart, I just wanted to say "Thank you and big hugs" for all you have done on the thread so far - it has certainly been good for me joining in here! :T

    We all appreciate the time you have spent on here.

    I agree that people could just post what they would like to do, then the others could choose from there.

    I think I am going to stay clear of Ebay for a while and just stick to savings whilst shopping etc.

    Good news though - I played the free scratchcard today on Butlins Bingo and won £1, which brought my total up to £10.55 - my first withdrawal since I've joined and it didn't really take too long to mount up as had a couple of 20p wins and a £5 win. :j

    Hope everyone is well

    Evening everyone. Hs anyone had their Dooyoo vouchers yet? I am still waiting for mine and its over 2 weeks, dont remember having to wait this long before. May be they are just busy. Doesnt seem to be anywhere on the site where you can see your claim and if its still processing etc.

    Funnily enough Rufus, I don't actually remember getting my last one off dooyoo. for £25.00. That must have been nearer three weeks ago now. I checked my Amazon balance earlier in the week but there's no way of seeing what values of vouchers have been added. Like I say this one was worth £25.00 and others have been worth £20 so it would have been easy enough to double check. :o(

    Rufus, can't you message the dooyoo team in your circle of friends? I'm not sure as I haven't had to do it before.

    Thanks for all the good wishes everyone xxx

    Morning All

    Been up for ages :eek: woke up and couldn't get back to sleep, have just caught up on a load of surveys. Had a look at dooyoo last night and have added those of you I could find into my circle of friends, will go through it again today properly and make sure I haven't missed anyone. I have also got a list of things to review, so will try and get some done today and see how it goes, that and ebay are definately my challenge for this month, to give both a whizz and see how it goes.

    Take care everyone

    I hope you enjoy dooyoo, I think it's great :) Don't be put off if it seems slow in the first month as quite a few people don't rate reviews from new members. After a month you lose the big 'new member' sign under your picture and you will start getting lots more ratings. I would also recommend rating lots of other reviews as then more people will look at your.

    I have 8 things on Ebay and I've finally got a bid on one of them. Only 99p but it's better than nothing. They've all got another 5 days to go so I'm hoping they get more interest in the final day.

    Good luck to everyone else Ebaying :D
