am not a happy bunny spent 40minutes doing a survey on mysurvey and now i am trying to submit it its telling me the system is down grrr :mad:.
Newworld, if that happens to me I email cs and say that I have completed the survey it took me blaa blaa long and I'd appreciate if they could confirm that I would have the points added to my account as I spent a lot of time and effort completing it for (80) points. Make sure you put the survey number in the title and email and how much it was worth!
Missed bingo last night as I was busy with the business. Have packaged up the last of my ebay things for the month to take to the Post Office at lunchtime today. Not really much else to add at this moment except it all sounds like you are doing fantastic xDribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000

Foxy - thanks for the reply to ebaying. The advert clearly states what it was, the person who bought it , bought it paid and then said they didnt want that model. At the moment I havent answered them, waiting on them receiving it . And going from there. If they send it back I will refund the money minus my postage, I think thats fair as they were having a bargain anyway, found out since you can take it to game and they will give you the same amount cash, wish I`d thought of that.
Well survey network going good, I too had an hour long survey for 75p but a couple of days after had one for 3 minutes for 75p, i think i`m upto about £16
BP, bunbun, i try to do a couple of new topics everyday, but theres only so much you can say. cant you start a topic?
Tluny, i am trundling along and am returning ops and polls for peeps on here, but I found out once you hit 15000 points in a month for your opinions and polls , you cant have anymore until next month which is gutting because 3 of my opinions went over30 and one over 50. So next month I`ll space itout abit.
Bit of mse, sons car was booked in garage today but when i was in a mood on monday, i went out and messed about with it myself and it seems to have done the trick, so my advice, hit it, spray it, wiggle it and hope for the bestChallenge 2018 - Learn by heart the Book by Wayne Morgan on Amazon - Betfair Football Trading as it helps to supplement my small income :beer:0 -
Morning all hope everyone is well this chilly morning
Re Surveynetwork, for some reason none of my surveys completed have been credited, have I been doig something wrong or is it normal for it to take a lifetime to show?
Susan - about the ebay buyer, I would be careful about saying anything along the lines of only refunding items that are broken or faulty incase they destroy it and send it back. I'm not sure what best to suggest but I hope you can resolve it without any fuss, I hate it when you get an awkward buyer
Spoent this morning in Boots trying to get some bargains, I actually ended up spending £40 (in boots points of course) on items for hubby and a couple of items for the kids, tbh don't really know if I would have paid £40 or not had it not been advertised as 75% off, ho hum.
Need to get my bum in gear with money making as the money spending part is now over from new year sales I think.Comping wishlist for 2017

Boots site was down, so I braved the mahem
I got some stuff, so I will write it in my book when I get home as to who is getting what. I spent just under 30.00 and saved 86.00 I got a lovely photo frame from boots for motherday, and a nice pen set for my dad for fathers day. I dont have many to buy for and will leave the rest of the shopping. I will have a fair few Amazon vouchers to spend if I keep up with the bingoport. GOt 10.00 already, and half way to another redeem. I also found a 10.00 Argos voucher too, which I forgot I hadDd needs a new toy box, the one she has it tiny, so I find that I have lots of little boxes ad I want one big one.
Thats me for today..........
Hope all is well with everyone.Saving 2.00 coinsGrocerys set to 40.00 pwBeing Thrifty0 -
Hi scattycat - welcome to us, everyone seems to be on bp at 8pm, except me who has a curfew....
I did 10 new topics on bp for you all, but am running out of ideas, lol
savvybunny - surveynetwork credits mine usually 4 at a time, but i`ve only been on two weeks, so dont know if they credit once a week or when you reach 4.
With regards the ebay bloke he now says it doent work , so i said post it back. It did work, do you think i should refund my special delivery postage. I had advertised the item with free p&p but when they paid more than what i wanted i sent it special delivery to make sure it got there.
On a positive note had £30 of M&S vouchers through post for taking out life insurance with cashback site, so put them away for xmas
Went to boots sale after website kept crashing and bought loads and saved £101.00, used points and pinecones vouchers and had NO7 vouchers coming out everywhere so kept taking stuff to car and going back. All money neutral, apart from when i wanted a coffee and bacon sandwich in costa, which was £5 but had £2.45 on my costa card.Challenge 2018 - Learn by heart the Book by Wayne Morgan on Amazon - Betfair Football Trading as it helps to supplement my small income :beer:0 -
Wow had a good day so far, went on to bp had 9047 points so thought do my posts and redeem, went to redeem and i was short on points spent grr, so gave up on being able to redeem, i ended up winning about 800 points so spent 500 to be able to redeem, had only won twice since i had started, i had 343 in my pot so thought i would have a go in slots and came out with 2000 points :-), louny also had survey points in, done a couple or survey networks, just need to do my polls etc tonight when i get chance :-)
never bothered with boots sale, got no spare money to spend as such, keeping my ebay money towrads my dd's 16th next monthThrifty Gifty Money Making =£280 Sealed pot challenge 1192 Toluna = 77339 Bingoport = £10 redeemed + 33470 -
I popped into Boots at the weekend and there wasn't anything half price that would suit anyone I buy for. Glad some have you got something at 75% off though
This money neutral malarkey is a lot of fun with you all here too.
Susie, the OH and I have got a few 16yr olds to buy for this year and have stocked up on the Police watches that I saw on grabbit earlier this week - don't know if they are her kind of thing?
Hello scatty
Savvy, I've started clearing my browser history in between every single survey (just in case) and I noticed that this is on the survey network emails too. Mine also get credited in batches of 4, but like Susan I've only been signed up for a couple of weeks.Dribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000

Another busy few days for me so have not been doing any surveys, have some work to do tonight from home so unlikely to get any done tonight so frustrating!
Have been skipping out of work dead on time last 3 days as have been going to the po with ebay stuff, its so frustrating that not everyone pays straight away especially the ones that put a last second bid in! My first 3 items that finished and sold still have not been paid for and one of those is the one I make most money from
My 10 items listed this week have no bids still and only one item with one watcher so not likely to sell anything this week, how many goes do you give each item to sell before taking to charity shop?
They are supposed to be coming to replace my windscreen tomorrow so fingers crossed it actually gets done and tomorrow will be a more positive day!Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!0 -
Kec I give it a couple of goes. Don't forget it's January, middle of the month and people are getting strapped for cash. I'm going to give ebay a break for a month or so and try again in the spring
Fingers crossed your windscreen in sorted too, must be so frustrating
