    I know vouchers take ages off that site, i completely forget about them and then when they turn up they`re such a surprise....lol. :j

    Well I been out today and in Morrisons they had a bistro set and some stools for sale. I always wanted one of thoses sets for the garden but could never justify buying one.....so i traded in my road kill and change.....it was £66.08p

    I had a token out of the sun spend £40 and £5 off, had a £20 morrison voucher off some site for a 2 surveys....ages ago...

    So I bought

    1 bistro set
    2 stools
    2 inflatable goals - they were 99p
    3 bbq sets - £1 each (5 tools in each)
    8 bottles of wine
    4 cases of beer
    And some fruit ...lol

    and had to pay 12p

    So I havent made any money but i only spent 12p ...........my OH said what about the food, I told him we go back monday with the other voucher;)

    Susan, Wow - that's what I call a bargain.:T

    I've not done much with surveys lately.

    Toluna up to 50,000. I had 10 surveys yesterday and didn't qualify for any. :mad:
    Valued Opinions - at £9.95
    One poll - at £11 odd.

    Road kill for the challenge £1.12

    Still waiting for toluna voucher. :mad:

    Excellent Susan!

    I've just been on OnePoll. There were loads of surveys but I only qualified for one that paid 10p. Better than nothing though :)

    I also sold some of my old books on Ebay, collection only as they were so heavy. I sold them for a couple of pounds but when the man came to collect them he gave me £5 as he still felt he got a bargain, so we were both happy :)

    Thanks mum2one, I know I was amazed too when i added them all up, my biggest payouts have been for reviews and cashback, but lightspeed and BP have paid good too this year for me.

    VERY WELL DONE SARAH! Those totals are fantastic.

    I keep forgetting about Bingoport! When the kids are off, I'll have to make a point of going on everyday.

    Hi all, just thought I would sneakily pop in and say hello, have been about just not been very money making the last few weeks :o
    Saying that though I have just updated my SS and I have gone over £1k in extras already this year. I was absolutely :eek:

    received a £10 argos voucher from VO a few months ago and have ordered another one but used the first one today to get a couple of nice photo frame sets that were half price. one as pressie for work colleages bday. In real money they cost me £2.50 each, but at full price they would have been £30 for the two sets. darent get them out the box to have a look in case I cant get them back in again!

    I have started doing focus groups (have done 2 actually lol) and these are great fun but hard to fit around kids and work. and those two have given me £60 after travel for just 3 hours work. i do have to go to London for them though which is just a quick train journey.
    would rather do that than surveys that take hours for peanuts though. :)

    Hope you are all well, sorry havent been in for a while. I need a kick up the bum to get my mojo back into it all. Havent been on BP for about a month. :( and dooyoo for a couple of weeks. I am about 16k away from £50 so might do that and see how it lies there.
    MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987
    EMFD was Feb 32 :eek: NOW Dec 2013 its Dec 2016
    MF new target Dec 16 REACHED!! :j

    Hi everyone

    Have just ordered a £5 Amazon voucher from Free Snacks and ordered a £20 one from Dooyoo at the weekend. Have 2900 points towards next one. Daughter loved all her presents, made her a phone sock yesterday to keep the phone a bit more protected when in her bag, cut out some more after she saw it as might be able to put them on my stall if I ever get round to doing one. OH wants a phone the same as the one I got her for Christmas, might save up the vouchers towards that although he will probs change his mind before then.

    Have a nice day everyone xx
