    Hi everyone! hope all is well.

    I haven't had chance to write a review today but have tried to keep up to date with my ratings, but haven't had much time! Once OH is safely back at work on Monday I'll have more time to spare (that is unless I am on a labour ward! lol!).

    I have been sale shopping today and have found that Boots was the best place. Everywhere else was selling broken or ripped items... utter rubbish basically!

    So today from Boots I have bought a wrapping paper gift set (four rolls of paper, curling ribbon and bows) for just £2.50 (was £5), have bought a shower gift set for just £5 (was £10), a Ruby and Millie compact mirror for just £4 (was £8) and a Natural Collection 'cocktail' bath gift set for just £5 (was £10)! Am well chuffed with my bargains! I earnt points on all of this AND received a £5 gift voucher to spend on No7 or Ruby and Millie... so will go and buy another pressie in the sale soon! I have until the end of the month so will wait for things to go down a bit more :D

    I just sat and did a 1400 word review on the family unit and didnt get my 500 points for it! cant believe it, they always go on straight away, do you not get points for discussions?

    never mind, just answered my own question, you dont get points for discussions in the dooyoo lounge, lesson learned!!!

    Hello , I am really confused about onepoll, when looking for surveys do you just click on "surveys available for you"?.....there never seems to be any there for me????
    TIA xx
  • Please count me in!
    As I have decided to keep an eye on spending this year, this seems like a brilliant idea. I am sure that I can raise some cash on e-bay by selling stuff I have accumulated over the years for that specific purpose, but have never got round to do...
    So this is the year.
    Good luck to you all!

    Just a quick update - My ebay stuff is up to £17.00 but I'm hoping for more as 23 people are watching one item, 19 another, and 13 the third. I'm just really glad of anything really as they were worthless just sitting there. :beer:

    Dooyoo is up to £4.78 thanks to your ratings. Reviews were much quicker today, so my top tip is do it everyday and don't let them build up. I'm finally finding thngs to review after a shaky start. :D

    Thanks Draig, have now put you on the list as I have permission to (Ddraigcoch is already in my circle of friends from last year but dont want to add anyone onto the list unless I have their permission).

    List is once again upto date.

    Well done elysia, your off to a flying start.

    Thats what I do TooChoosey, maybe you should email them and ask if theres a problem.
