    Think its actually Elysia's DD Elysias Birthday today! Dont quote me though! If it is Happy Birthday Elysia! Very confused now too many Elysia's in one sentence!

    Or it could be cos she was up all night on the Boots thread waiting for the sale and is snoozing happily in her bed!

    I dunno I could just be blatently lieing!


    :rotfl:- ROFL-:rotfl:

    Ahh bless your cotton socks the pair of you. I was missed then? :A

    Tuesday was Elysia's birthday. I did manage to get on Bingoport when she was asleep but it was late. Yesterday was OH's day off, so I couldn't get on computer during the day.

    I did have an hour snooze about 4 because I was on the Boots site at 4.am. :mad: didn't manage to place my order until 3.30pm and even then it was still crashing.

    Then teatime, I had to go out and deliver Avon orders. I hate and detest it when its cold and dark, but it's gotta be done. I've done the books for the people who didn't order today, so I'm free for another three weeks. :j

    I spent £22.00 instore in two Boots (not a lot left) and £16 online. So not too bad.

    I did have a good day though yesterday - I came home to find my £50 newvistlive cheque on the mat.

    I opened up my emails and I had £2 AMazon voucher from GFK surveys (you fill out the survey and only win an entry into a comp) I was about to give up - I've been doing it six months or more and never won. :cool:.

    I had an invite from VO to join a panel for philly cheese and I received £10 Amazon for joining and won £25 Amazon in a comp on there too.

    £87 yesterday in total. I didn't even do any surveys or BP as I was too busy, so I was chuffed to peices.

    Susan - I would just like to echo what Savvy has said - take the screenshot of their listing for proof AND do not accept the parcel when the postman brings it.

    Bunbun - sorry I wasn't around to help, but I'm glad these lovely ladies have helped you. Auto plays 5 games, so you can either chat, or minimise the screen and do your posts while it carries on playing (saving time).

    Rufus - I hope everything went well today. I will get around to doing your ops on Toluna. I've been too busy to do much of anything this week. I'll work through my friends list, so if I've missed anyones new polls or opinions, I will get around to it.

    Not very happy with survey network - depite doing surveys (or attempting to) every day I'm still on the same as very early last week £3.63 Grrrrr

    Good luck everyone with Bingport - how many of us are going to have a redeem next week? I will, I'm up to 6,128. So I wouldn't have been able to redeem last night anyway unless I had some seriously big wins.

    Sorry, I've forgotten who had the big BP win, well done hun, that's brilliant.

    Savvy had you recovered from your Boots Mission? I was so tired, I think I'd have been better not going to bed at all, than going at 1 to wake up at 4. I'll set my alarm for 6 next time ;)

    wow what a good day elysia:T

    I didn't stay up for the boots sale. I have done for the past couple of years but ended up with a migraine through lack of sleep so as there was nothing I really wanted I was sensible. I did go instore though and got a few things

    Well aslong as your alive Elysia! We all were wondering where you were when on Bingo as Kim/esmer won quite alot jammy cow! I won a line and stepmum won something and so did twinkle123 and possibly pammyj so I was like wheres Elysia shes missing out! lol! I redeemed last night still waiting for voucher through and have 5,000 points left so hope to redeem next week too!

    I forgot to say Rufus I have done your topic hun! Sorry I only go on and do topics once a week or so and did so much Saturday I have been avoiding Looney! 3 of my topics are on like 15 comments so if anyone is heading over can I be cheeky and ask you to do them if you haven't!
    Rufus re points I have had 100 points credited for 30/12 and another 500 points for opinion topic going over 20 comments! Think its a slowly slowly process! I have done way more opinions than 1 but we will wait and see!

    Oh yeah I have just withdrawn £19.01 into bank from top cashback to pay myself back for some of the stuff I bought today! Need to make £85 to be neutral so far but havent touched Christmas presents yet just doing birthdays at mo!

    I applied my voucher and it worked - woohoo!

    Am glad I signed up to BP now.

    Got my first onepoll on my iphone yesterday - 20p I think it was.

    Otherwise still waiting for a newvista to get me from 48 to 50 - I've been screened out of the last three - grrrrr!

    I too had £49 in my account when newvista suddenly cancelled my account as - according to them - "I failed their quality check".
    For anyone thinking of joining newvista, please do not waste your time, this company appears to be very dishonest - hence the reason why they are constanly recruiting for new panellist. :mad:

    Siliam - I would just like to put my point across for Newvista. Ok it's taken me a long time to reach payout (15 months) but In all honesty I think they are quite worthwhile and not cheats as you claim. You have to pass the quality control tests for each survey and if you get them wrong three times, and then you're out. I failed on the last question once, due to the way the question was worded, it was either answer and I went for the wrong one. I think they were fair to let me know. I knew exactly where I went wrong, without them telling me. I didn't even have my address registered on the site, so they emailed me to asked where to send the cheque to - they could have left it in limbo and not paid, or they could have said they weren't going to pay as I'd had a strike, yet the cheque is in my hands, already to be banked. :)



    Legend -I thought you had put Seren down twice but realised they have different ages. That's an unusual name and you have two in your family. ETA: It's unusual around here, might not be in Wales. DOH! You're doing well legend. You're doing brilliantly well. I'm only organised for January birthday's (have had three already) as I do them before Christmas. ;)

    It looks like everyone won last night except me. Bah Humbug. I didn't get in until 9.30 so I would have missed you all anyway. :( Good luck everyone for tonight. Let's hope for some more big ones. Ohh errr.

    We usually go on between 8pm and 9 and in sunbeams! But we do not mention MSE just incase they dont like the fact we are doing it for the vouchers!

    Seren means Star in Welsh its quite popular in Wales well since the past 2/3 years or so!

    And as for big ones I am sure all of us ladies would love a few of them! :rotfl:
