I have just been on Shopping.com, just out of curiousity more than anything. On the homepage there is now a note, which states that the promotion ends on the 16th May (which we knew) but also that payment will be made by end of May. :beer:

I may even be tempted to try and find a few more things to review. :rotfl:

Edited to add: change mind about doing more reviews, I still have 11 from 6th still pending.

Have just checked mine and the three I did the other day have been accepted so that brings it up to 20. Not doing any more on there. Still have some of them saved to put on Dooyoo but will wait until we have been paid from shopping first.

Did a few more surveys this morning, not a lot as screened out again in most. Cant be bothered to do the daily clicks today.

All three of my items on ebay have bids now, just need them to go up a bit by Saturday.

It'll be fine Mum2one. That's how every hairdresser starts. I can honestly say my hair hasn't looked as nice as it was while I was at college. They are so careful to do it right, and there's a lecturer checking the work. They wouldn't let you out with a bad haircut.

Def worth a try,your college, you can get a facial for £4.00, eyelash tints etc £4. False nails from £10.00. May have to have another treat, my diy nails never stay on for long, last yr when I went on the orient express with my aunty, so funny now, my nail flicked off and landed on the peoples opposiate table, they didn'tnotice, and I couldn't ask for it back !! xx

Thats brillaint going, I'm just waiting for £4.00 to come in then can do a balance up, bless her one lady sent me cash (too risky), shw'd overpaid by £2.00 and told me to keep the change..... That happends once in a million, I did a lipgloss, but wrapped it posh in the cello wrap, with little note, As a thank you for buyng more than 1 plz find attached the lip balm, its chocolate without the calories" - we've had a good laugh when she'd been asking about sizes etc, token jesture, she may come back next time! xx

Brilliant Mum2one, you get some nice customers now and again! You're doing so well too. Everyone is.:j By the way, chocolate without the calories sounds good to me! :rotfl:
