    Thanks for the info on payout. I have used the same address as paypal so should be OK. Don't think I've ever used my paypal account before so that will be fun!

    Thanks hlcarroll for the info on Harris Interactive. Don't think I'll bother with them. All these surveys and reviews and bingo do take up a lot of time so I think it would have to be something quite good for me to want to sign up to any more! Thanks.

    Right, off to do more reviews on shopping.com. Have done 12 and 2 accepted, 10 pending. Lots of things that can't be reviewed, but I have done perfumes, computer software and a couple of toys I think. Let's go!

    I've put 17 on, and had 2 accepted, the others are pending, hopefully they will be accepted soon! Think I would struggle to get to 100 even through they re easy to write, cos there isn't really that much you can review, I've done mostly make up and perfume, but should hopefully get to 25 today :O) then i've just got to hope they are accepted! xx

    You'll probably find they all get accepted around the same time, I think as long as they pass the spell check then they get accepted. If they don't pass spell check they don't delete it they just put a note on it telling you to check something and resubmit it.

    I've done 18 reviews and had 12 accepted, so that's £10 hopefully already guaranteed :) I'm going to do as many as I can tonight but it's getting tricky to find things that I can review on there. I really hope they pay out as this is a nice quick money maker!

  • Hi Susan,

    I have reviewed on 2 different occasions on Shoppong.com and have been paid straight away into my paypal account, one for £25 and one for £20. As far as I am aware they are a trusted pay out.

    I have done 15 reviews so far, I want to get up to £30-£40 is possible.

    I go AWOL for a few days and you've all been having fun money making without me!!! LOL

    Right 'm up for the challenge. Have reviewed a few more on dooyoo tonight. Will get around to others tomorrow. I redeemed for Amazon on Bingoport tonight too.

    Harris surveys pay a pittance, whoever it was that asked (sorry I've forgotten with two days worth of posts to read). I wouldn't bother. GFK ones are useless too. I'm just waiting until I cash out and won't bother with them again.

    Goodluck with the money making everyone.

    Got to another £10 on free scratchies.
    Have been trying to study but when having a break I have done a review and ratings on dooyoo, not quite able to redeem yet on BP but should get there for next week.

    Am getting into the gardening bug and have transferred my seedlings into my little greenhouse and am worried they are not going to survive and want to bring them back inside BUT cannot have about 60 little pots sitting in my front room! I have just bought some sunflower seeds as the kids wanted to do them last year but we never got round to it.

    Am off today so want to do a couple of hours of study but really need to sort out the chinese laundry that was previously my bedroom!!!

    Well done Pammy on getting to 1000 posts!!

    Right, strange story but bear with me - we have one of those Brabantia touch close bins in our kitchen. About 6 months ago (!) the catch on the inside broke off which meant that the lid would not close, so we just kept using DH's boots on top to keep it closed in the hope that I would superglue the catch back on - never happened! :rotfl:Anyway, was browsing the new Argos catalogue the other week and saw the bins with "10 year guarantee" splattered across the page. I went onto the website and checked it out and they had an order page for items still within guarantee - of course I had bought my bin around 5 years ago and no longer had the receipt as it was bought from Costco so didn't know about guarantee. They e-mailed me back and asked me to clean lid and send it to them via prepaid postage! Viola - yesterday received shiny new bin lid :j:T- it would have cost £40 to replace had this not been under guarantee - well done to Brabantia!! BTW, does this count towards the challenge?

    Oh, also received my £50 cheque from YouGov this am - so am doing well!!!
