    Blimey everytime I miss a day you guys go into chat overload lol

    Thanks for mini challenge Elysia will list some more ebay if I get chance this afternoon.
    I too got my ipos voucher through, I had forgotten all about it so that is a bonus, also got my £5 in paypal for the oil testing I'm doing and my first recipe,will get another £5 for the 2nd in a few days so that's been a good one to do.

    BP went a bit wrong for me this week. Wasn't able to redeem wednesday and was about 1200 points under for redeeming Thursday so after posting I only needed 200 odd points so thought rather than wait a day I would try my luck in the slots. BIG MISTAKE!! I have avoided them cos I know how easy they are to lose points and now I am unable to redeem after my posts today too. Unless I win in bingo then it will have to be tomorrow. I am so cross with myself :mad:

    Busy day today getting party bits sorted for twins pirate and princess party tomorrow and 2 cakes tomake. Wish you lived near Esmer you could have done them cupcakes :D

    Hope you don't mind proud Aunty moment, this a picture of my neice Freya.

    Morning everyone

    I am about 50p away from a redeem in Surveynetwork. Think I did one of theirs this morning so once the points added I will be there. Been really quick.

    Loonie I am up to just over 35000.

    Was on Woohoo a lot yesterday afternoon whiling away the hours lol while doing the surveys. I won about 5 or 6 times and am up to 54 bronze, 10 silver and 4 gold. Going to take ages to reach 200 gold lol. Thanks for the tips Aspella, I will see if I can get on tonight at 7 and 9.

    I finished the knitted cardigan, will ring her later and see if I can pop it round this afternoon.

    Have a nice weekend all, I am off to my sister's tomorrow as it was my nieces 18th on Friday so will be on again probs Monday, Rufus xx

    Aw Step she is sooooo cute! Dont ask about pics I have never been able to do it! Just not that technical!

    Still waiting on Vistaprint to track on both Quidco and TCB so think it aint gonna happen but thats the way the cookie crumbles!
    I am back on track today after yesterdays rugby loss! :( Anyways have done onepoll and rewardtv this morning and no luck with survey network! Off to check looney as need about 8000 to redeem again so will make that my mission this weekend!
    Elysia I must admit to you that I dont like that DooYou! Sorry! Will attempt to list on ebay tomorrow but listed 2 things for OH on my account yesterday does that count? lol! I will of course rob some money off him when he sells them as they are big items and as I am like his personal secretary its only fair to get a cut!

    stepmum your niece is so cute:j

    legend glad you are feeling more sociable this morning:D

    savvy thanks for your reply. as you say the postage may be because you are a new customer or because it is after Christmas and the orders are low. a few of us have got reduced postage so must be a general thing

    I am afraid I still haven't got into dooyoo yet or surveynetwork I don't seem to have much luck with them and don't qualify for most of the surveys:( I did manage to redeem another mysurvey voucher and had a win on BP so not all bad...

    have a good day everyone

    we are off to look at a bed for ds2 in Boroughbridge. I saw it on gumtree, never looked there before. so unfortunately I am spending more than making at the moment:( must get on ebay!

  • Hi everyone, sorry I've been so absent. After all the building works at home I thought things would get back to normal, but things just seem to be going crazy. The house is still like a building site as we've had the electricians and plasterer in. Thankfully the end is in sight as the kitchen fitter is starting next Friday. I can't wait to be able to cook some decent food again!
    DS has been rather ill with a horrible temperature and refusal to eat. This morning his temp seems to be normal and he has had 2 crumpets for breakfast so hopefully on the mend now.

    On top of all that, on Tuesday my Mum phoned to say my Auntie had died. It's such a shock, she wasn't ill at all, very fit and healthy in fact. She had a brain haemorage (sp?) and it was very sudden. My uncle and 3 cousins are in absolute shock, as is everyone really.


    With money making - I redeemed on BP and have received my £5 Amazon voucher. On my way to the 2nd one now.
    I have also redeemed on Toluna. At the end of the month I was promoted to Intermediate member and got 10,000 points. That took me over the 80,000 needed so that was a nice surprise.
    I'll be doing lots of housey type things this weekend but I will try to write a couple of reviews on Dooyoo, especially if Elysia is checking! My product suggestions have all been accepted so I can get started on those now.

    Hope everyone is well, sorry if my message has put anyone on a downer, I just felt the need to talk about it a bit.
    Making money for Christmas 2012!

    Yay managed to get on T this morning and got picked for a couple of surveys :D
    Got me second lot of testers this morning - another snack product yum!

    Do you know how long it takes for VO to add the money to your account? Its not much but the 2 I have done are just pending still.
    Have not had any more from them or 1Poll.

    I think I will be taking myself to the docs on Monday, I must have an infection or something, chest is killing today and can barely breath as well as still being bunged up and shakey and coughing still, its been 6 days now Ive never known something like this to last as long :(

    Got 20 items finishing on ebay tomorrow, only one has a bid but 12 with watchers, one jumper that I didn't think anyone would want but gave it a go anyway has 7 watchers?!
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!

    NickyBo so sorry for your loss, thoughts are with you and hugs xx

    Well if anyone is going on looney today please can you see if you have done my topics as I have some nearing the mark for points! I have one on 20, one on 19 and one on 18! Think it needs to be 21 to get points as the 20 one has been on that for a week now! I am desperate for points as I have done all mini polls and it says I have done all surveys! I need another 3,000 points to hit 80,000 so any help would be great! xx
