    Hello all,
    Been busy reviewing on Dooyoo, now collecting for my 3rd cheque of the year, hoping for £250.00 for christmas so on target. Do find it very time consuming rating back though.
    Glad to hear you're all doing well, I'm stuck at work waiting for a rental car as mines in the garage where someone bumped into me - 25 minutes late and counting, I definitely wouldn't book them for myself.
    Trying to be money neutral for christmas

    dooyoo is time consuming and if you think about it, its at least half an hour to write a review and another half an hour to an hour rating people back.
    Thats over an hour for about £1 :eek:

    Hi everyone

    I've not posted for a while as i've been really busy at work. I have managed to try and keep up with dooyoo ratings and i'm sooooo close to £50.
    I've signed up with Littlewoods bingo, got about 50p from free scratcards so far so i'm trying to keep that up.
    I've signed up with shopping.com as well, i've done 9 reviews but i'm struggling to find products to review.

    Well done Laura. Thats brilliant. :beer:

    My tip for shopping.com - don't search for something in particular. Search for something in a group, say perfumes than review everything with the stars that you know about. Then say Avon or Elemis or clinique whatever and review all their products. A good one to do is if you have a gaming console at home - review the games. I worked my way down the wii games list and did 10 in an hour. :D

    It saves all the searching, and faffing around. Just work you way down the list.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi elyphant - you can join cheeky bingo and costa for free bingo. I have won a couple of times on the free plays, but the games are usually about a pound or two. Some are £15 but it's split between one line, two lines and full house.

    It's money for nothing though, and it passes some time if you're bored.

    I have been using the winnings on the free daily scratchcards on Jackpot joy, take a break and butlins bingo to play slots and that's where most of my winnings have come from, so still money neutral!

    HTH.


    Oops edited to add, you can only cash out when you reach £30 on cheeky, don't know on costa, as I have only won pennies, I usually buy some pay to play bingo tickets, but haven't won.

    Thanks for this elysia, that's really helpful - will go and sign up and see how I do (hope I get a nice win like your recent one - well done!)

    Have come to a bit of a standstill on dooyoo as have been really busy and reading and rating does take time, but determined to get back going again over the next week, as am only about 9000 of my £50.

    Elyphant - Wishing you the best of luck hun!

    I have a good day today. I won £5 on one of the daily scratchcards today for the first time, quite close to payout now!

    Have received £5 Amazon off Bingoport. That paid for the two Wii games I ordered at the weekend. :j

    And today I ordered a £10 Boots voucher off Valued Opinions, as I still have over £65 in Amazon, very close to pay out on dooyoo so that will be another £20 towards that. Once I've ordered that (and when I give myself a good kick up the Bum,) I'll start to work for a cheque.

    How's everyone else doing?
