Rosie

My OH has decided he will help me with this challenge so we have invested in a wireless router so he can go online with his laptop. As i said before compared to you lot I am a bit thick with pcs so could you help me with this
1) Can he have have a account with virgin to do the free scratchies ect.
I know it would have to be a differnt email addy but the home address would be the same. I don't want to break any rules and get chucked off.
2) Can I recommend him for any of the cashback sites
3) I was really chuffed today as I got £3 worth sof luncheon voucher from my 1st pinecone survey. What do I do with them lol

Hales

Rosie - last year i saved up my luncheon vouchers and used them in tesco off my xmas food shopping!! Just an idea!

Thanks Hales-ok I will do it weekly :-) you task master :-) I think the way to get money from blogs is the affiliate banners etc like I'm doing but no money yet!

Rosie-you can use luncheon vouchers at tescos and sainsburys def as I have . Not sure where else but I think it says on them when you get them.

Hales

mabel - do people just have to click on the banners or do they actually have to buy something from the site they click through to??

ooohh... curiouser and curiuoser!!!

2cats - I also have a slightly larger (big 5 1/2 year old) DS that you are welcome to use some pics of.... just let me know!!

Skint - cakes are lookin' good!!!

the_cat - as fr as Paypal goes, they verify you to make sure you are who you say you are..... go through the process, its easy and painless. The direct debit is for two things, one is to make sure that if you don't have funds in your account to either pay fees (ebay), or when purchasing something they then use the DD to cover what you have spent. They will never take money without you spending it and the other reason is again to make sure you are legit and not scamming..... Having your Paypal account verified gives the buyer more confidence in you as a seller. Personally, I never buy from a seller who is not verified.

Muncki - any news yet????

I seem to have lost my mojo a bit this week. I find I need a routine and as the kids are off, that has gone out the window! I need to get this mental block about routine sorted as I can't afford to have two weeks at easter, six weeks in the summer hols......

My dummy has arrived today so I shal get some white sheets in town later before the visit to the dentist.... dreading that! Its only a check up for the kids but DD is in a bloody awful mood today so I can see the dentist loosing some fingers.... do you think they sue for stuff like that!! ?:rotfl:

Tibbies mum - yay on LO walking.....

Anyone got advice on this one? Why do they need it and what do they do with the direct debit agreement? Do they start taking the fees from your bank account rather than credit card or something? I have a couple of designer items to list and it's insisting that I have a verified account before I am allowed to list them. Any ideas peeps?

Thanks in advance

They deposited two amounts into my account. i had to go online and tell them how much the deposits were. They never took anything back to I made 15p from them (nothing compared to what they take from sales unfortunately!

Well 1 watcher on eBay. Not listing anymore until Thursday but at least I can get it all photographed and written up and ready.

Brought my nail course forward to 6th March, weekend so no childcare needed yay!

Woke up this morning to the baby standing in his cot. So sweet but I'm all upset cos he's growing up so fast .

Must make a start on my essay, not due until after easter but I'm determined to be organised!

Only 2 ways to make money as far as I know - Google Adsense adverts (or any other advertising like Amazon associates) or sell something from it using Paypal to get paid.
Adsense is rather poor money - like 1p if someone clicks on the ad on your blog - (can occasionally be more, but not often!). I get around 50 -100 visits to one of my blogs a day - some days I don't earn any advertising revenue. Just to give you an idea- I have a Christmas blog and in November and December I think I got around £13 each month from it! And is you stop posting regularly (i.e. when you are on hols) then clicks seem to drop as well.
HTH!

all the ones I have people have to buy something. I'd like to know if there are any where they just have to click?
