    Hello to all been away for weekend and completely lost where i was on here and what everyone's up to, you are all zooming through and it's only the 10th!!!

    Been doing loads of surveys through night (one benefit to not being able to sleep) so all points are slowly going up, woo hoo. I am upto redeem amount on bp so just need to play abit more then £5 voucher for me. Did mystery shop yesterday, £15 reim, not made anything but needed item anyway so only cost me £4.99.

    Why is it that kids insist on helping you TIDY UP??? My two lovelies have tidied my camera, to keep it safe!!!!! lol
    Now can't find it at all, and been looking since xmas! when it is eventually found i will then start listing on ebay. hopefully will find it soon.

  • Good afternoon everyone. Gosh there is a lot to catch up on and I was on here last night!

    The whole BP thing sounds interesting but very frustrating at the same time, I think as long as we are all playing for fun though we should be ok :) Rufus and others can you not sign up again with another email?

    I went to the post office at lunchtime with my bags of ebay items and business post. The poor girl's face dropped when she saw my two bags of brown parcels, my handbag overflowing and my European letters!

    So my Monday 10th Jan totals at midday today were:


    ShopandScan 2100
    Valued Opinions £2.20
    GTM 760
    SurveyNetwork £4.80
    BingoPort 5765
    Toluna 11354
    MySurvey 1210
    IPSOS 1330
    The 'Cone £6
    Opinion Outpost £1
    SurveyHead UK £3.23
    OnePoll £12.50
    harris opinion polls 100
    Springboard £2.50

    Redeemed £35 Amazon so far 2011 very happy with that :) If I can make £35 per month from all of this Christmas will be well and truly sorted next year. Thank you everyone for giving me the motivation to do this xx
    Dribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000

    I think thats it! Dont like survey network much just did a survey they sent me took 15 minutes and at the end they said congratulations we have now entered you into a prize draw??? If I had known that it was just for a prize draw I wouldnt have wasted 15 minutes!!! Grrr

    Don't worry you will get the 75p as well added in a couple of days :)

    Hi Skiergirl, I remember you from before and I too was one of the banned ones :(, I feel really left out with them all having such a great time on there.

    I have got about £22 in my £2 tin so really I have gone over the £50 for this month, just not all on Ebay.

    I have some bits of card left over from my card making days, some nice bits like glitter and gold or silver that kind of thing. Most of it is only bits and pieces but a few whole sheets. Do any of you think it would sell if I did it up in packs on Ebay? And if so should I put all the glitter together etc or would it be better to mix it up a bit? I know a lot of you make cards these days, would you look for this kind of thing on there? Any advice appreciated, Rufus xx

    Same here got banned from BP and from Dooyoo - we must have been costing them a fortune x

    Hi Rufus and mum2one :wave:

    Thanks Rufus for answering the question about BP. Its a shame we can't join with another email addy, but like you I think it was the ip address that got banned.:(

    Re the card bits - I'd either put all the glitter bits, plain bits etc together to sell, or make them up into kits with some card blanks and embellishments iyswim

    Evening everyone
    Can I ask for some advice. I have an item on e bay and someone has offered me good money for it if I put it on buy it now. It is on for £3.. nd they are offering £40. I have not had any bids but there are 6 watchers. What should I do? The prospective purchaser says she wants it as a gift on 20/01.

    If there are no bids on it, then your not doing anybody out of a deal. Is it worth a lot more than the 40.00?

    Not sure of Ebay rules and such like, not been on in a while.

    Gemini - I've withdrew items a few times if someone has asked me to. I make sure it's all legit by placing another listing on BIN and telling them. It will be worth paying extra fees because it might not go that high if they don't want it after that date.
