Still no £40 payment from OnePoll. They have really made a muck-up since starting the new style site. I reqyested the money when I first got £40 (3 weeks ago) then when the new site started last week it was asking me to request it so i did and still nothing. I have written to them asking to pay it today. I am so funny :rotfl:
Just done first run of the week. Think it's supposed to rain here Wednesday and Thursday so trying to do as much as possible before then.
Really quiet at work....which is both good and bad depending on which way you look at itIt's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey0 -
Hi Poles
Trust me I am the biggest hoarder in the world but all this stuff has just got to go, I loathe listing it and all that paraphenalia, find it so tedious... but it's cluttering everything up, house and mind most importantly.
Re surveys I'm slowly plodding along with you gov, and mysurvety, don't do the others I seem to get loads of strange spam from them. Have you tried slicethepie ? Get paid for music reviews, it's interesting, and different, don't get paid lots but it's okay for an hour at the weekend now and again.
Well done on the run, think I may dust 'the shred' off again...DC.

I have been busy busy busy
Renewed my home insurance through Quidco. Got it for £5 pcm cheaper than last year plus £40 Sainsbury's vouchers and £71 cashback (i think it has tracked).
Rang CSA when I got home. Waste of breath. Looks like my payment schedule isn't worth the paper it's printed on because regardless of what dates they put on there his employer has until 19th of next month to pay the money despite the fact they've been taking it off him for weeks now. I really hope with all my heart that thsi sort of thing happens to the person who is supposed to be making the payments. I'm really relying on that money now and things are getting quite desperate all because someone can't be bothered to do an extra part of the payroll. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: That is how mad I am with them - 5 angry faces...
I have been listing my ebay stuff - at last!! I have listed 13 things and 5 have sold while I've been listing :j If I'd known they'd sell that easily I'd have put an extra couple of ££ on them......It's only £12 altogether but not bad considering I was just going to bin all the stuff.
Filled out census form.
Am quite tired now - definitely missing the lost hour from yesterday (but loving the lighter evenings all the same)

Ooh meant to say - Dad's bike has turned up
. The next door neighbour saw it was left out when it was getting dark and put it in his garage and hadn't had a chance to tell my Dad until today. Phew...

Ahhhh what a relief about your dad's bike...so glad it hasn't been pinched.
But boooo to the darn CSA...how completely rubbish that you are left waiting for so long:mad: I haven't heard anything from them re my new claim - they rang a couple of weeks ago to say they'd be contacting ex, but nothing since:(
Well done with the ebay listings:beer: I must get cracking soon - have 2 iPod touches that I am sure will sell, I'm just being incredibly lazy...it really is tedious putting things on there isnt it?! But I get quite excited checking the listings and seeing my watchers mount up....gosh, I need to get out more dont I?!:rotfl: Have piles of summer stuff too that girls have grown out of - thats my job for the Easter hols:DI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -

Re bike - yes relief it wasn't pinched, even better that neighbour took it in - restores your faith in humankind. Although (and I will point this out to my dad) just goes to show how easy it was for someone to take it, even in good faith.
CSA - they have rung back and yes his employer has been taking the money from him but not sending it on to the CSA. That's actually even worse IMO because I'm sure my ex would be really annoyed that not only is he paying up but the money isn't actually getting to his daughter :mad:
Ebay - I have sold another item :j In the end it was only 12 things I listed but 6 have sold and 3 of the remaining items have watchers. It is very tedious listing them but once I started I really enjoyed especially when the paypal messages started coming through on my phone
. I have parcelled up 5 items at work today and will do the other one tonight at home.
Not been for a run today, it's raining, fairweather runner me
I must send the darn Census form off.
OnePoll is very slow again today. Am now on £6.80. Still no sign of my £40 eitherIt's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey0 -
This site definitely encourages you to get off your backside and earn more money. Very addictive. I am mentally going through the rest of DD's clothes to see what else I can sell
. I have nothing worth selling.....:(
