Be careful as the points on Dooyoo expire after a while xx

I know. It seems to be okay if I log in frequently and look around, then log off again though.

Thank you elysia (think it was you) for the dooyoo challenge - have done 2 reviews in past 2 days

That's great news Elyphant. Keep at it. :j

The next challenge is for everyone who has signed up for dooyoo and not written any reviews.....SARAH

Adult only holidays are great - trouble is my next girly holiday is for my sister's 40th and she only turned 38 last week. We're off to Rome.

Well done folks you are doing so well!!!

Monday and Tuesday were busy days and nights so didn't get chance to make any pennies but we did travel to work together early to save on costs and parking fees saving about £8-£10 on both days

I have just done a review on dooyoo and need to do some rating (after Ive scrubbed the whole house ) and will check onepoll (checked mon/tue as well but nothing)

Hiya, I have just discovered this thread because I need to save on Christmas this year due to various changes in circs. I have used Tesco vouchers last year to buy Thorntons Chocs, and Boots advantage points to buy gifts. I have saved Nectar points to spend on food. What I would like to ask if anyone has any ideas for crafty things to do in the evening that are fairly simple and do not require much outlay, for stocking presents for grown up sons and DILs and elderly Mum. I can knit and do a little cross stitch but I am generally cack handed with anything arty, and sewing is limited to replacing buttons.

I would welcome any ideas, by the way, I can cook, so maybe sweet or biscuit recipes (the finished articles would have to be sent in the post)?

PS What is Dooyoo?

Thanks to anyone who can help

Hello, welcome to our thread. Dooyoo is a site where you can join and then write reviews on products that you have used. You get paid 50p per review and then people read them and rate them and you get 15p every time one is rated. You have to rate other peoples reviews as well or they wont do yours in return. When you have enough points you can claim a £20 Amazon voucher or you can save the points up and claim a £50 cheque.

As for the crafty things have a look on the Crafting for Christmas thread, it is full of ideas like what you are looking for.

You are doing well with the vouchers xx
