    Welcome to the thread Sam. You've got some fantastic totals there. Did you see the challenge for February? It's a few pages back, but if you can't find it, it's also on the third post :)

    Esmer - woo hoo you'll be an expert soon! :D

    Hiya mum2one - It's lovely to see you here. You've got some brilliant totals there. I know you can't do dooyoo. It's great your doing ebay instead. A few of us are, so you'll have some competition. :) I hope you get your 30p off Onepoll soon, I need £5 odd, so not too far behind.

    T update - just had yet another product test (for more crisps) YUM. I think it's a record - five in a week. LOL. I also completed another couple of surveys, so I have about three pending, and three which are tracked wrongly. I'm at 76,000 so fingers crossed the ones I did today go on tomorrow, and I can redeem - that will be three lots I'm waiting for.

    Lucky you with another product test, get them ramdomly, one I was really drooling over was Hagan Dazs ice-cream, when it came it was melted.... had sanitary towels, crisps, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, nicest but addictive was posh crisps, cider vinegar and they were lush...... still waiting to trail tall, dark and handsome with a bulging wallet!!

    Ditto with u waiting for Toluna, ordered love to shop, - won't be long before u get the next one xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • All this talk of product testing must have sent some good luck my way. I've just done a survey on T'luna and at the end it asked if I would do a product trial, yippee! I can't believe how excited I am, especially as it's for a fruity snack thing that looks very tasty :)

    Oooh, I only need about 5,000 on T'luna now. I hope all my 80 word opinion points will go on at the end of the month as that should be a nice amount of points.

    Surveys

    13275 -Toluna lots of points not on my account
    £1.25 - Valued Opinions - screened out on nearly all
    £3.00 - New Vista - Screened out or NO polls
    £3.25 - OnePoll - dont get may surveys
    50 points - IPOS
    £0.80 - Just started crowdology

    Money
    £90.31 - Quidco
    £42.36 - Paypal
    £20.00 - BP
    £14.00 - selling cupcakes at my office.

    £166.67

    Im also doing my sealed tin, but stopped counting as i want it to be a surprise, I put in 2.00 coins, loose change etc. Im putting in my Council Tax to my savings when its the 2 free months. I also have my season ticket not coming off my bank as it runs 10 months, so that is more money in my savings account.

    I think I will stick with tracking on quidco, playing bingo, and doing some ebay, budgeting my shopping. I will be doing the mantra a lot - Do I NEED it or Do I WANT it.

    The surveys i get screened out on nearly all of them. So I dont think they are aimed at me.

    I did get a survey on crisps and they are sending me a sample. :)
