I'm in a bit of a rut with Dooyoo now... can't really think of anything to review and I'm just not motivated right now! At just over 16000, so not far to go now..

If you are stuck for things to write about I find it helps to read lots of other reviews. You could browse the newest reviews or just look through some reviews by your circle of friends. I've found quite a few things to review by doing that
Also, if you rate the reviews at the same time it increases the chance people will come and rate yours and help push your points up a bit more

Well not doing too bad today ,
Did a car boot today (and it actually wasnt all that cold...!!), on the way we popped to maccy d's for a breakfast, but I complained to them last week as they had got our order wrong last time and when I went in to speak to the manager (she asked me to lol) she gave us all of our order free .
Can that count towards my £50?
Well actually I'm on £126 I think, plus the £8 if I can include it!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement, couldnt do it without you all, hope everyone is doing well! xxx

I have just managed to redeem another £5 amazon voucher from bp and have written a few reviews over the last hour so feel a bit better having done some money making rather than sitting on my bum lol

Thanks for the kick up the bum elysiaxxx

having snags with dooyou and eBay mainly because I only have half a screen on my laptop (new laptop arrived but no internal modem and I move in a week so will sort it all out in new house).
I have not given up, trying to do as much as possible, just a little bit limited, roll on february when I will be more organised - if i am not whoever has the bggest feet please boot me.
Have managed to get some card making kit in the sales though and remebered my wrapping paper so not all is lost oh and some 10p glass bottles for my hampers. (and all paid for by my mutual points cheque with about ten pounds left to spare)

That's excellent, well done to you :T

I've just written another review for dooyoo and that has taken my total just over £15, 3/4 of the way there now I lost my steam for a bit as work was hectic and I was coming home too exhausted to think, never mind write. I had a lovely restful weekend though and that seems to have helped a lot. Hopefully I'll still make the £20 target as there's still 2 weeks left.

See Ocemeer - it's not all bad news. You've a lot going on at the moment. You can do double next month! :eek:

Well done Sarah. That kick worked I see!

Way to go Pammy - every penny helps.

HLCarroll you're brave doing car boot this weather. More snow Wednesday apparently. :eek:

Well done to everyone else - we're nearly there!! :T:T:T

Oh no, elysia, please dont say that! I'm totally and utterly fed up with snow now! Hmm, I thought I was doing well, but I've just checked my bank account online and a withdrawal of £10 has come out, followed by £500. Im praying that this is a mistake, but I dont think it is, a nonexistant company that had my bank details did this before, but they only took £85, now I think they have got more, but I dont know how, cos I got a new card any everything! Feel like crying, the money has taken me over my overdraft, so big charges for me, and it was also my rent, which is due on friday. Help!! xxx

Oh no! :mad: I'm sure the bank will help sort it out, especially if you have had this trouble before and they have let it happen again.

My card got locked yesterday, doesn't work anywhere now. No idea why Think it's because the company who take rent went to take it yesterday, and took £1.50 three times instead, and then failed to take the proper amount. Then sent me an 'Overdue With Rent' email!

Anyway, please don't worry.

OMG... I know exactly how you feel, it's happened to me about 4 times.

Get straight on to the bank, and tell them, get your card cancelled and get them to stop all charges. They can and they will!!!

Most of all don't panic - they will sort it out.
