  • Hi everyone, well done on your redeems, you are all doing so well and only 2 weeks into January!

    I was wondering, does anyone know where to get decent parcel paper cheaply? I found it much easier to use this to package up ebay items than recycling the boxes I have around the house but I bought some for £3.00 two days ago and I have used it already!

    Sorry to hear about your powercut hun, how annoying! Hope it's all back to normal now :)

    After what you posted I added my gift code and it worked ;) So thanks. I had planned on leaving them in my inbox until November :) I'm closer to another redeem. Looking like 2 a month. Which is fine, surveys are nit working out for me, so going to leave them. I will sell on eBay, and sell cupcakes in work again. It all helps. ;)

    savvy sorry cant help you with that one, dont buy any yet, but just wondering, have you had a look on ebay, maybe they do the big rolls like the cello wrap and it might be cheaper in the long haul.

    ;) Busy doing nothing, working the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do :p
  • Freedom, I have an ebay shop but it's for business purposes only so that I can sort out the tax man etc. The only benefit as such is that I can list more than one item for 20p and have different options available. Fees are exactly the same for me as I don't sell a million things a month! That's all I know sorry I can'e be of any more help there x

  • Quick question: still getting the hand of this 2lna malarkey, where do I find out how many points I have got from my opinions and polls and how many points I have received from writing on others opinions? TIA xx

    If you go to 'You' then 'Your points' it takes you to a page that breaks down all your points and shows you where they came from and when. Points for answering quick polls, writing opinions and the bonus points all go in the same section, and then points from surveys are in a separate section at the bottom.

    Each time you get points it tells you the date and the action i.e quick survey, opinion etc. On mine, it says 'create quality opinion' for when I have answered someones opinion with 80+ words. Where I have received bonus points for having my opinion answered 20 times it says 'event credit - popularity bonus'.

    Hi all, I checked my bp voucher and it has worked fine and that was my only good news today.

    I still haven't got results of x-rays on my foot so unimpressed with the local hospitals, on the plus side the pain killers are great :rotfl:

    I had a message from one of the people I sold to on ebay and the item has turned up broken :mad: he understandably wants a refund and the cost of postage to return it. Have contacted him and asked him to send a picture of it broken rather than returning so I don't end up further out of pocket. He has agreed.

    We had our bill for fixing our boiler yesterday £250, the car had to go in for bits done today £260 and whilst there they said the tyres will all need replacing as when up on ramp he showed dh the inner wear and damage caused by driving on the ice. They are only just legal. Just ordered new ones £248. So todays extra bills came to £758 :eek:

    Jan is not turning out to be a good month for us, except of course getting to know you guys.
