    Well done everyone - I have my fingers crossed that all your things do well. I still have two to post from last week, they only paid yesterday, and I didn't make it to the post office in time.

    I love seeing all the watchers and the bids go up - that's the best bit. I hav more to list, but it's been abusy day here so far, and dd2 wants us to play monopoly now, so I've got to go for a bit again. Will see you all later. Good luck with your ebay items xxx

    Took all my photos of dd's clothes, my wedding shoes, wedding bag and tiara. Dress is going too, but it's so heavy :( not sure what to do about packaging and postage.

  • Good afternoon everyone. Hope everyone's ebay listings are going well from last weekend. Looks like the post office is going to hate me again tomorrow! Didn't have much time yesterday to catch up on 2lna but I'm off there now to catch up with you all. Well done everyone on your 2lna points, I still haven't got anything through for my opinions yet :(

    The number of valued op surveys have increased again so it's nice to see that little pot growing. Has anyone had many from global test market? I've had loads through but they've mostly been for the sweepstakes. Got another redeem from bp yesterday having been busy last week I couldn't play/post as much as I wanted.

    Anyway, hope you're all enjoying your Sunday whatever you're doing x

    Good afternoon everyone. Hadn't checked in here for a couple of days - was on the Sun link instead to try and book hols - managed to get Easter week in the Isle of Wight and a Friday-Monday in July. Only problem was had to pay for them both straight away, so put one on cc! Thank you to everyone who joined in to get the code words. I hope everyone managed to get what they wanted. One other thing is that I actually have 7 tokens that I collected out of the paper that I won't be using so if anyone would like me to send them to you please PM me - first come first serve x
    Ebay has made me £80 this month already, I seem to have been far more organised and find it so much easier to take the pics and write the description down and then sit and list when I have some free time. The living room cupboard is bare and the pile upstairs is slowly going down!

    I had to run my dad around on Friday, he is still in plaster but able to get about to do a couple of jobs. As a thank you he put me a £5 bet on the football, I had to choose 3 teams who I thought would win over the weekend. The two games yesterday went my way and I need to keep my fingers crossed that Tottenham beat Man U this afternoon, if I win it will be around £40 which will go straight in the pot!

    Have had half an hour on BP this afternoon and managed to win a line and a cg so about 300 points altogether. Will try and get on again tonight at 8.
    I've got an afternoon of ironing ahead, but am going to wrap all the ebay parcels that need to go this week ready first.

    jena , i wouldnt mind being referred for outposts if you dont mind x

  • Bunbun2/tranmererovers/twinklelittlestar – I am also on Toluna so will have a look for you if I haven’t already added you – my user name is the same as it is on here.

    NickyBo/pammyj74 – what is your Toluna user name as I’m happy to help with the surveys.

    GeorgieGirl2012 – What is Green Metropolis? I have alot of books that may do better on there than they could on Ebay.

    I feel that I have such a lot to catch up on as I've not been well for the last few days and last night I was asleep by 7pm - managed to catch up on all these posts but now I have my eye on T'luna for an hour and then BP. I've managed to redeem for last 2 weeks on BP but missed a couple of days this week so don't expect to be able to do it again. I'm at 38k on T'luna so I'm really impressed that people have already managed to redeem from there - not sure where I am going wrong.

    everyone seems to be doing well on ebay. I am going to relist my item this evening.

    I have been through toluna and am following everyone on the list and those whose names I recognised from here. I have also rated everyone I am following. If anyone would like to return the favour I would be very grateful:D

    If I am not following anyone or have missed rating you please let me know

    I have spent all morning making a sock monkey, have got the body and tail done - it's going to take a while!!

    Foxy - you only need to play two lots of 18 on auto, so unless you only played one lot this morning, any extra you spend will just be a waste. Mind you it's so much fun on there lately I always end up playing extra too.

    Bunbun - It took me about four hours to make two sock monkeys - they're not as easy as they look are they?

    Poohspals - have you made any polls and opinions on 2looony yet? We can reply and you'll get the points for making it, and extra points for replys. Also, if you answer ours with over 80 words (paste it into a word doc and do a word count to make sure) you will get extra points for that too. I'm over 40.000 now but I have made lots of 80 word opinions and my own polls and opinions to go on, so I'm hoping i'm not too far off. I only redeemed 11 days ago. It can be done - but you have to put effort in.

    I hope you feel much better soon - Is your migraine still lingering? - mine last for 5 days sometimes.

    Sorry elysia, may be a bit stupid here but why do you only need to play two lots of 18 on auto?

    you have to play a minimum amount of points to redeem so 18 x 10 games over 7 days is about the right amount - 2000 points a week.
