Hi Raven, nice to hear from you again - hope you are well! :j

Just jump back in when you are ready - still got plenty to go at so don't worry too much about catching up.

I will definitely be focusing on Dooyoo this month. I want to get to the £50 mark by the end of April, hopefully sooner so that's just £18 extra I need to make. I have the next 2 week off work (yeay!) so I'm going to try to write and rate as many reviews as possible. It takes me a while to write my reviews as I like to do detailed ones. That said, I might start doing less detailed ones as I still haven't earnt a crown even though I'm sure at least 1 of my reviews is worthy of it!

I ordered my first £15 voucher on Toluna yesterday. I was so excited. It took me 5 weeks which is longer than it seems to take most people but im happy with it. Got just under 20000 points so 1/4 of the way to my next voucher. Will be happy if i can get a voucher a month. Will certainly help towards chr

Hope no-one minds me jumping in with a challenge, I know our poor Jamtart has been running round like a blue bottomed fly........ (and no one put a challenge on - jumping in with a one -off, come back Jammy asap please.

Money----
As Miss Hoodie would say the magic word....... theres 2 elements to this challenge .... Money in:p and money out;)

1st - Make £20 for yourself, by swopping....... eg swop sandwich and coffee for a packed lunch, do you really need that chocolate bar (ok yes I do, but instead of the big bar, I'll have a small one and put the difference up, same for buy one get one free, - u get the just. (or what ever target u set urself0

So by 30th April - we'll all have £20.:T(thats the plan).

The next question - "why do I need this £20"

From 1st May - we have a treat, not the children, not hubby, bf, (miss Hoodie in my case) but us......were the ones who do all the cost cutting, the organising, the wrapping and 90% of the organisation, so were having a treat.

Do you fancy a facial, a pedicure, a massage - do it the mse way and ring your local college and see if they have a health and beauty section (most do -our local one runs a salon), dead cheap,
eye-lash tint £4.00
facials - from£3.00
massage from £7.00
There done by students under supervision, but its great value, my friend she pays £40 for a facial!!

or do you need a new foundation, or fancy some perfume.

Set yourself a target and an aim.

Mine - £20 - facial, eyelash tint, eyebrow shape, and spare towards next facial.

Good challenge mum2one. I think I would like £29 for some more new clothes. The ones I have just bought are the first in a long long time.

I claimed my next £20 off dooyoo yesterday. Think I have managed one a month so far.

I always nominate if I think they are worth it - I'm not saying yours aren't - it's just that I think they only get looked at by dooyoo if a guide has nminated it as well. Do a home appliance one - Azana rates those and she nom'd me for mine!

Wendy It took me three months to get my first one! You've been lucky.:j

After £20 January and £25 February, I only made £16.50 for March on dooyoo, and that was only because I made a brilliant start and then dwindled off.

Thanks for the new challenge Mum2One. This is one i'm going to like. :j

I've been on Dooyoo for 3 months and not had a crown. I do nominate but don't say. Maybe my reviews aren't up to much. I'm happy that I get VU for all of them, but a crown would be nice.
