Just a quick post over lunch. I don't know if I'll have a job after March as well Twinkle and if I do there's to be a 20% pay cut so not good for the future.

I got offered a mystery address insurance thingy from Consumer Intelligence - they use your address and pay £5. I got the choice of a £5 cheque or £5 to Cancer research so did the charity one as I don't have as big a Christmas list as others here and thought I would try and donate £5 a month to charity out of surveys etc. How do you know they get it though? Hope to see you all at BP later.

If you want to make sure that £5 pm goes towards your chosen charity I suggest setting up a direct debit with them than you know 100% of your donation goes to them xx

Perhaps surveys and BP will become a ft job... Certainly less stressful!

Thanks for all of the support. Feeling seriously unmotivated at work today just want to curl up and sleep. I'm trying to think about it more positively and perhaps this is a good time for me to concentrate on my business and get a pt job to cover the bills.

Twinkle - you never know, the redundancy might just be the push you need. You've just got to go for it. Think positive. Sending positive vibes to you too Jena. I hope things work out ok.

Jena - like Twinkle says - I would get a cheque next time and give the money yourself. Is consumer intelligence any good? I wouldn't mind doing things like that. I lost my little job at Christmas (I looked after my neice while my sister was at work, she didn't pay me much, but it was nice to say I helped out with the bills, if only a little bit) so now I don't have that. I need to try and up my money making on here instead.

Legend - I must be very desperate because I took that survey this morning. :eek: It's really easy questions and doesn't take that long really and besides I was bored. so bored I've just eaten a slice of Christmas cake and two packets of crisps and I'm supposed to be dieting. :eek:

Ok now I need 2000 points for a redeem on looney! lol Only survey they are offering me though is one on consumer issues for 4,000 for 40 MINUTES!!! Sorry I am no that desperate! Now if it was 10,000 points then I would be there!

Beware of this one if its the same one I did last night I couldnt finish it coz it wouldnt accept the post code at the end. Cant complain as I dont have the id number:mad::mad::mad:

What a shame gemini - mine accepted ok. I never write the number down, do they reimburse you if you have problems. I always take the point of view that it's cost me nothing (just effort and time) and you win some, you lose some.

Just got a bargain - I was just coming back here and to the special occasions board to post it but they've sold out. So sorry guys - I wasn't fast enough. I have to tell you though - I just bought some DS games from the Disneystore reduced from £25.00 to 50p Woohoo.

Hi all,
Just a quick one re- Bingo port, had my first look today & just wanted to check i'm going about it all right. I know you've all covered it lots but i'd like to check if that's ok.
Did my 10 posts & got my points added for these. Played my bingo (gonna be out tonight so can't join you at 8!). Clicked auto-buy 18 at top right (according to profile this took 36 points) & have done this twice. I managed to win the two line on my second go so won 80 points (shared the pot!) Am i doing it right?????
Also, does it matter what room you play in.
Thanks guys,
You're all doing so well you're inspiring me!
Bev

Also, competely forgot to thank Elysia for you thoughts about my Butlins bingo money. I may contact them & see if ican withdraw as would prefer that, if not i'll play it. It was free money in the first place after all. You're doing a great job with the thread too. Thanks xx

My first VO voucher has arrived and I have ordered another one.:j

Toluna seems very slow at the moment. Not many surveys and the usual looooong wait for vouchers.

Hi everyone, hope you all got your money making on today!

Sorry to hear so many have had car troubles, me included and I hope that it doesn't cost too much to fix them.

Elysia - I managed to bag a couple of the ds and ps2 games too, perfect for Christmas presents but I noticed to the right of the screen they had the prices they should have been so definately a pricing error, hopefully they will honour them

Not alot of news from me, 15k from another redeem from Tolly and I only redeemed a week ago, so glad I got back into it, it will go a long way towards Christmas 2011.

Have some more bits to list on ebay but I have decided to do a couple of items a week so I don't get overwhelmed by it all.

And the best bit of news today is that I missed the Next sale as I didn't feel well enough to camp outside our store in the small hours to buy the items I wanted and wrestle with people buying to sell but I managed to pick up the coat I wanted for dd less than half price today as someone returned one in her size, soo chuffed.

Can't download the drivers for shopnscan, was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Quick update:
Ebay challenge - sold a DVD for £13 (not deducted fees/p&p yet). Not got much to sell so don't think I'll achieve the £50.

Shopping challenge - completed saved £8.89 on shopping today plus £1 by using coupons.

Maximiles - Just completed 8 ipolls and watched a video - 45 points.

Received £10 Amazon voucher from Woohoo Bingo.
