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.

Sorry if I sound like a killjoy, but vouchers aren't covered under Royal Mail, even if you did recorded delievery, hopefully someone can swop that you know.
Or just another thought, but can you get some jewellery, purses, accessories etc ready for presents xx

Legendmum - you can earn 1,000 points per day by posting on the forum 10 times. The best thing to do, is play 18 on auto (click 18 on the top right hand corner and while you are playing minmise the page and do some of your posts, then do the same thing again. If you play between 8 - 9pm the winnings are higher. I've been back on the site 3 days and haven't won anything but I'm up to nearly 8,000 points. Once you have played your 2,000 points (by doing what I've said for a week) you can claim £5 amazon voucher once you reach 10,000 points.

Top tip for any newbies - check out the survey section, I went on there the other day and there was about 8 or 9 questions worth 250 points each. It's worth checking here every now and again for extra points.

:TThANKYOU ELYSIA
I have posted today 10 times,,oh my its boring lol
also managed to win one line and then 2 lines,,I was soo excited I couldnt type LOL
thankyou for all your help and for others as I would nt have figured my way round bingoport. Am getting there, will try to log on there each morning or evening to post, cheers

Well done Kirsty - I'm so proud of you!

Well done winning your lines - but If you go on between 8-9pm the jackpot is 2,000, so if you do win, it bumps your points up more. I know, it's finding the time though, but also, if more people play then, there will be more people on the forum posting, so it is a little less boring.

ETA: Did you do the survey section yet?

Thanks for the advice ladies. I think that the problem with me sometimes is that I take the easy way out - which may not be the most MSE way.

Well done Kirsty! I think I would actually have a little dance around my living room if I won anything.

OH has got the most severe case of man flu ever today and is currently feeling very sorry for himself on the sofa with the dog leaving me to sort the post Christmas bomb site out now the kids have gone. Quick question regarding some old Uni text books - where do you think the best place to sell them would be? Amazon, eBay, other....?

ah ok thankyou I will go on at night, will have to once back at work next week anyway.
I did do the surveys when I joined,will keep my eye out for more. Got 4670 points so am on my way!:D I hope to be able to keep it up once back at work, just ned to get into a routine of bingo and surveys and ebay and work life kids LOL really looking forward to it, last winter was awful,lost a dear friend then was totally depressed /bored/unmotivated for a few months,,but this winter I wil be too busy doing challenges etc thats the plan anyway!

sorry to hear ur Oh isnt feeling well,,some nasty bugs around,mine had it over xmas had to keep them topped up with paracetamol and brufen and felt like a nurse when i had 3 down with it:(
If u have a quick look on ebay for ur books see what they are selling for before you decide,,I find educational/self help/medical books sell better on Amazon, Its really easy dont know if u have sold before? plenty of help and advice on here and I am more than willing to help you out if you need anything,just ask been selling on both amazon and fleabay for 10yrs

Hi everyone, I'm back again as I always am at this time of year with good intentions, unfortunately I get bored getting signed out of surveys after spending 15mins+ on each, annoying customers on ebay who dont read the descriptions properly, etc etc etc & normally fade out. This year I am going to TRY my HARDEST to keep going. I really need to as money just seems to get tighter & tighter.

I spent yesterday doing surveys and doing a lil sale shopping for ds1s birthday via quidco & nectar. During Jan I plan to organise stuff to sell on ebay, wash, iron, spruce up etc, take piccies & write the html all ready to start listing in feb, at least 3 items a week.
I'm also going to try & enter at least 1 comp a day in 2011 to try & win potential presents/treats/cash. I won a couple of nice things in 2010 such as a book set which made a fab pressie, a lush set, scrapbook items - it takes patience, an extra email addy & a lil bit of time but I definately think its worth it.

I have just joined one poll, so now am going to do that as well as valued opinions and also the bingoport. What are good comps to do? Also is toludo? ? ? not sure of spelling worth doing? I have som big baby things to sell like pushcahir ,car seat , high chair, change unit and not sure of the best place? Any advice?

elysia2003

Zangels - Toluna is surveys, and they usually take about 20 mins each. They vary considerably in value but you can get about 5 or 6 a day sometimes. If you don't like surveys, just take the quick polls, your money won't mount up very quickly (unless you do the surveys as well) but it all extra funds.

Re: the pushchair etc. You would get more money and prospective purchasers on ebay, but you would have to have someone local to collect them from your home. With a carboot, you wouldn't get as much money in my opinion, but it is much less hassle and you can have a big sort out and get rid of lots of stuff in one go. Let us know what you decide and how you get on.
