    I'm trying to formulate my best plan of attack. I am going to the home page, and then you can click on the categories and see what items fall into the categories. While i am not inspired by items like cleaning products, barbecues, cat food, for 50p i am going to learn to be.

    First plan of attack is see what i have already which isn't much, and add this if it needs adding. I'm also then writing a list of things i could do as i spot them.

    I saw your comment about wanting more rates. I think people respond best the higher your colour generally. The best way of changing that is by commenting on reviews as well as rating them, and adding pictures where you can.

    I'm just doing what i can. Trying to see who i can spot from the other side and rating them, as you already know and trust them to return the favour. The more i do there, i actually do quite like it. It is easier to get 50 rates per review there if you get enough people following you, because there are more people there.

    I've never really put a lot of effort into ciao, and concentrated on DY, but these bonuses change things slightly which I guess is what they want.

    I've just posted one across tonight and am rating lots. I've also just written a new one on DY that can also go across for the bonus.

    They just like it to be busy i think. Apparently they have these 50p promotions every month, like last month was cameras and cars. They just didn't do it in april and may as they had the other promotion.

    I quite like it there now i know how to find my way round. The premium fund can also be really good. I am just waiting to see if i can improve upon my £18 last month. I have had £25 for the past 2 months so i can't moan really.

    I keep entering the current issue debate too, as you can win £10, and there are usually between 10-20 people enter, so odds are quite good if you don't write utter rubbish.

    This fortnight's debate really isn't for me, but I'll keep my eye out on that one thanks.

    It's my Dad's birthday today so we're going over for food and catch ups. Going to buy him a cake with rather a lot of candles in a bit.

    A new week again! Lovely weather today so have got to get some washing, ironing and chilling out done. Also going to try and sort a little bit of the house out each day this week.

    Hi YB
    Sorry haven't dropped in for a while. Life has been a bit pants/ manic! Less than a month to the wedding now!!
    Money is really flying out the account. I decided a couple of months ago to stop updating until after the wedding costs have all been paid. Then I can see where the land lies and keep going!
    Hope all is well with you

    I can't believe the wedding is coming up so close now, you must be really excited. Good to see you back posting though.

    I've been really lazy today and spent most of it out in the garden as the weather has been so nice. I have managed a couple of surveys and a coupld of reviews though so not an entirely wasted day.

    I've done quite a lot of work in our garden and it is great to see the new blooms now. Have some gorgeous calla lillies in a pot by the Patio doors and they make me smile every day! Last days in the garden are great!

    I need to do so much in the garden as well, no motivation for this house at the mo, really need to find it.

    DD2 is at a trial session at school this morning so have written a review, put the washing out on the line and done some surveys. Go me!
