    Well done everyone on a great January :T

    My totals are -
    ebay £105 (would have been £118 but had 2 NPB's)
    T Had one redeem and now have 9164 points
    1Poll only up to £4.30
    VO on £1.20
    Quidco has a balance of £11.05

    Not sure about writing reviews, I find it hard enough to do the opinions on T but may give it a go. I plan to list some more ebay tihngs tomorrow.

    I did a survey yesterday for a healthy snack and they are going to send me some of those now, OH can't believe how excited I am at getting free snacks to try :rotfl:

    Well done everyone on a great January. Fingers crossed we can all keep it up. :T

    My totals for January are:
    Bingo:
    Bingoport £15 Amazon
    Woohoo Bingo £10 Amazon
    Cashback:
    Fatcheese £14.15
    Topcashback £24.84 (not received yet)
    Surveys:
    Toluna £15 Love2Shop (not received yet)

    Ebay: £24.72
    PB: £25

    Thanks for the challenge Elysia but I think I'll pass on Dooyoo. I find writing reviews too time consuming and stressful. If I get paid for writing 80 word opinions on Toluna in the next few days then I might do more of that for Feb challenge instead.

    Bingoport is playing up for me today. I haven't been on for a while and have just over 6000 points. I have marked down when I make a comment on the forum and it has refused to count at least 4 of them!!!! grr

    Wish I had know about the challenge the other day. I found £4 on the floor by a car park pay machine at uni.

    Susan - have checked and I'm up to date with yours and Rufus's reviews.

    Aspella - honestly it's fine. You do what you want - keep letting us know how you are getting on. :)

    Replied Bunbun.

    Tranmere - Another fantastic acheivement hun. For an idea of how much you'll get at christmas (you'll need the money before to buy all the stuff) some months you'll make more and sometimes less, so times your January total by ten (months) sounds about right.

    You made £200 - You can aim for £2,000 for Christmas. Woohooo
    Wow, when you put it like that, that's amazing :j

    It does that to me quite often with the forum posts but does right itself.

    Not joined up to Woohoo yet, so feel free to pm me if you can refer me for some extra points ;)
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)
