    My thoughts exactly!

    Has anyone done onepoll this week? I had so much trouble with it last week that I haven't touched it since but is it back to normal now?

    I've used onepoll this week, only done a few surveys though (like 2!) as some weren't appropriate for me as I don't have kids :/

    Bit of a quiet month for me, used a £15 Tesco voucher so added that to my total - £497.09 (nearly at £500!)

    Am waiting for adsense payout of around £60 so will add that when it hits the bank
    Sell £1000 in 2016 - £12.48/£1000
    Earn £2016 in 2016 - £0.00/£1000

    Elmer do you ever trip up as you walk along looking for pennies or bump into lamposts just thinking £250 on youve been framed lol .good on you though .
    used a dtd voucher in Mr t cashier didnt have a clue ,however they didnt have the dog food i wanted thayt would have ended up at 50p a box however have another voucher so will try a different store

    Thankfully I haven't tripped yet, and I always keep in mind the old "Not the Nine O'clock News" sketch with Rowan Atkinson. I did come close to getting run down last week though picking up a penny as I was crossing a side road, when a car tried to go down the wrong way down a one way street. Other than that I haven't had any problems.

    me think Mr Fudd is taking the **** maybe not and I apolgise if not.......

    There are quite a few places where people don't bother picking up coins once they drop them, and either I have found hotspots or there is a poor soul with a hole in their pocket that keeps losing their change around where I work. I also keep my eyes peeled to the ground 9 times out of ten, and that penny I used to pass up on the pavement I now pocket. It all counts :)

    Just done a work survey that has a prize. Hope I win :)

    Try round a school, either in the playground :eek: or the streets round about.

    P.S. I used to find lots of pound coins on the ground when supermarkets had £1 slots for trolleys. ;)
    Never be afraid to take a profit. ;)
    Keep breathing. :eek:
    Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j

    I haven't worked in schools for years, and since I get out of work fairly late any loose change around there will be gone. I work at a college though so I guess some students of any age are lax with cash (which is how I pick so much cash up!). I'll give it a go though. My local supermarkets still have £1 slots for some trolleys (although they do have the free carts too). Will give that a go too. Great ideas :)

  • Arrgh! why do I only notice these challenges when they're a few months in, lol! :o

    But, if I can....I'm In!!
    Any tips? I think a lot of what we're going to make will be from cashback websites (e.g. Quidco). Any other ideas? xx
