just had a valued opinions survey for £30 and you have to be available for 8 weeks which i`m not gutted i am

OOooooo I haven't been offered that one! Gutted too! Did a £5 forum type one but they haven't credited me with it yet - got to allow 31 days then I can chase them up or something.

Hope no-one minds me being cheeky, just thought as we hadn't had 1st Oct challenge - now to 30th November


Technically its money making - but not - sounds very cryptic (my brain!!)

We all are wonderful brilliant ladies, who are money savvy and we're organised, and we've all got skills, so the challenge is find a friend who has got a skill / talent that you haven't and a do a swop. Whether its you make cards - they're brilliant at ebay listings -

Something simple - something complicated - but if you get a swop of anything done put £1 up (money element) - we might only have a £1 at the end of Nov - but that £1 we put up, timewise it might be worth more than a £1 - more to swop skill.

I'd love to say it was a wonderful brainwave - but can't take all the credit, came from an element of my Open Uni course - Theres was I had to find a mentor to read my assisgnments and they had to comment on the work - choose my brainest friend - she wouldn't accept anything for doing it, so when her friend was expecting I knit her 2 baby cardi's. More to say thank you, but it gave me the idea for skill swop. xx

I have had a reply from Toluna to say that they have major problems with the e vouchers so none are being sent:( hopefully it will be sorted soon...

Emailled Toluna this morning to find out why my Ciao account hadnt been changed over to Toluna and had an email reply direct saying it should have gone and if not would be soon. Tried logging into Toluna and it worked and managed to claim a £15 Amazon voucher. Probs be foerever before I get it if what everyone else says about it is the same still but at least its on its way. Have nearly enough for another one too so hopefully now I am over I can make this up quickly.

That's good news Rufus!

Sorry - long post alert!!!!

I've been a busy bee and written 3 reviews on Dooyoo today and been rating most of the morning - well from 10am until now! It really is time consuming isn't it? Anyway I had £16 odd sitting in there, so I made it my challenge today to get as close to redeem as I can. I'm currently on £18.40, so if I can get to £20 tomorrow that will be great.

I hve £6 sitting in Amazon from the £1 MSE deal and with the £20 dooyoo, I'll be able to buy the doll I want (Posted on the other thread) for nothing! I'm getting back into it now - I did got on bingoport for the first time for months as well, last week. So I'm getting there.

Onepoll I'm on £21.20 and New vista I'm on £36.00. Valued opinions I have £9 cleared and £4 pending so I due another payout.

Quidco is great. I have £136 tracked. £42.50 validated and today I've had my orange contract pay at £80, roll on the middle of the month.:D

Happy bunny too as I've had 6,000 point on toluna for weeks. I keep getting screened out of surveys and can't be bothered to do the ones on the homepage. Remember me saying I was 15,000 down? I was getting so fed up, I was going to quit it. They've been added, so payout doesn't seem so far away now - I think I'll have another go at that too.

Mum2one - great challenge! DD1 has a mountain of ironing she's supposed to do - I wonder what I can get her to do, if I do that? The housework? babysitting her sister? Ooh the possibilities are endless!!!

You have done well Elysia, well done. I had a valued opinions survey this morning and managed to do it all without being screened out and checked my balance as hadnt checked it for while and I managed to claim a £10 Amazon voucher. It was in my inbox in seconds too so brilliant customer service. Dont know how comes they can do it so quick when other sites take so long. Should have the Dooyoo one by next week though. I put all my vouchers into Amazon yesterday and found that one of the ones I had I had already used. Was a bit annoyed with myself as usually once I use them I move the email to a different folder. It was a £20 one too and thought I wouldnt have enough to get OHs present but the £10 helped plus I had a £5 one too the other day so I will only be £5 out. Should be able to make that up.

Havent done any Dooyoo for a while but will get back into it. saw a film last week that I can do but it wasnt on there last week (saw it on the day it came out) and couldnt be bothered to suggest it but might be on there now. Dont get much for the films but it all helps.

I've done another two today so at this moment I'm 55p short! Another review will sort that out hopefully.

Well done Rufus - you're doing brilliantly too!

Mum 2 one - skills swop sounds great, just find someone who can do something for me - i have loads of hidden talents ..lol

elysia, rufus dog - well done on your money making, i`m a bit behind, still plugging away at bingoport. Had the amazon £1 for £6

and i`m off to check one poll, how slow are they, but i`m determined to get there one day

rufusdog52

Had another £5 Amazon voucher today, this time from the tv surveys thing. This one came instantly too when I ordered it. Will have enough now for OH's present once the Dooyoo one arrives without having to pay any extra.
