if you got points for not related chat then it would be a lot better. Never knew about the 10words........... ppppfffttt! Not sure its for me, or the intensity of it, but even a few 5.00 amazon vouchers over the year is worth it.

nickybo - how did you strain the flavoured vodka?

Straining the flavoured vodka was easy but time consuming. I just used coffee filter papers but I had to put them over a drinking glass rather than into the little bottle. When I tried filtering straight into the bottle it didn't work as the paper was folded over so many times. It was time consuming as some of the vodkas needed to be filtered up to 4 times until they looked nice - they were too cloudy before. It was worth the effort though as they were very well appreciated

Has anyone signed up to the sites that offer "free" bingo with no deposits via Bingoport? Really don't want to be giving out my email to so many sites if it means entering a world of pain & spam. Any advice?

I've not read all the replies yet so sorry if someone's already responded to this - I have created a new email account for myself and use that one when I'm signing up for things that might generate lots of spam. I use Yahoo and most of the spam gets filtered straight into the junk box so I don't even need to look at it.

Right here goes - I've just updated my spreadsheet with earrings and gifts towards next year.

As all the gifts I have in the house, have come out of 2010 earnings they are Money Neutral - I need to earn enough money to cover what else I buy.

Total Value of gifts bought already is £1,153.99 though with grabbits I probably only paid half that! All Money Neutral. As my Christmas savings bank account and my sealed money box (for Jan Sale shopping) is pennyless now. I am now officially Money saving for next year (2011).

I'm classing anything that comes in from now on - as 2011 money.

My spreadsheet looks as follows:

Incomings - New vista live cheque on its way

---

£50
Valued Opinions vouchers on way

---

£10
Toluna vouchers on way

---

£15
Ipsos vouchers in hand

It all seems so very complicated but I've joined Bingoport and I'm about to sort the spreadsheet!

Elysia that's awesome! I thought I was doing well buying 3 mothers day gifts a couple of days ago for £5 each (was £15) and used a voucher!! I'm really hoping to be money neutral for my gifts over the next year (or as close as possible!) I've still got a few Arcadia vouchers from last year so think I may pop them on eBay and put them into this year's pot.

Hello Whichway - You are very, very welcome to join. Please take a few moments to read through the first few posts, and if you don't already - join a survey site, one a day is fine. You'll be money making in no time.

Thanks Twinkle. If you sell the vouchers on ebay - you will have listing/paypal fees, couldn't you just ask someone you know (very well) to swap them for cash if they are using those shops anyway.

Quick question about quidco if anyone can help please, signed up and clicked on sainsburys (order online from there every week) get cashback went through that link and placed my order but nothing shows in my recent activity so have I done something wrong? Nice easy way to earn 50p per week for just doing my normal shopping, if i can get it to actually work! Thanks
