    I know some of you ladies are in the diet thread, and maybe some in the grocery challenge. I made a lovely banana loaf, with no eggs and a small amount of sugar. Could be ideal for sweet hit and not a lot of calories. Its on my blog if you want the recipe and to see what it looks like, sorry not managed to make a smellavision, or tasteablog :rotfl:

    So sorry for your loss nickybo, bug hugs.
    I have been catching up with people on toluna.
    Im plying on wahoo and was wondering about the stars?
    I read some where aabout swapping bronze for silver and silver for gold?
    Can any one explain?
    How many gold do you need and what can you redeem for?
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
  • Well done ddraig on all the vouchers you have redeemed and congratualtions on becoming a great aunt. 7lbs 9oz, I wish my first was that small my first was 8lbs 11oz and im only tiny! The midwife couldnt believe the size of him and never could I! But can't complain my labour was only 17 hours not 2 days, ouch. Sorry to hear about the dog that's really sad.

    Sorry I'm going to take this serious now. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts to getting an Amazon voucher on Woohoo Bingo. You can only get 200 gold stars by winning them or converting silver stars. You can't auto buy tickets so you have to keep pressing max approx every 5 minutes to purchase tickets.

    Play with points! * Win points & stars! * Redeem 200 gold stars for Amazon voucher in the shop!

    You get given at least a 1000 points per day to play with. Every hour there is a super gold or points game i.e. you can win up to 10 gold instead of 1.
    Star conversions:- * 100 bronze for 10 silver * 125 silver for 5 gold * 200 gold for £10 Amazon voucher.
    Jackpots:
    1pm - 30k points up for grabs
    6pm - 1000 silver stars up for grabs
    7pm - first full house winner gets 100 gold stars
    8pm - 50k points up for grabs
    9pm - first full house winner gets 150 gold stars.
    Other ways to get points: Click on challenges (homepage left hand side)
    Surveys and polls - 300 points (there is a new quiz all about the newsletter every Thursday)
    Woohoo review Quiz - 500 points plus 50 recharge
    Opt in for SMS - 500 points plus 300 recharge
    I usually play in the room with the least players, the only downside to this is that there isn't always a CM on duty so if I'm running low on points I go to a room with chat games. You can win 100 points in the chat games. If you have got less than 1000 points then it is worth replying when the CM says who is low as the winner will usually donate to the player with the lowest balance. At the moment I've got 137 gold stars 60% of this has come from converting bronze/silver stars and 40% from winning gold stars.

    Aspella put this on yesterday for us :-)

    Nickybo sorry for your loss, hope you are doing ok :(

  • Hi everyone, so sorry to hear your sad loss Nickybo and Ddraig. :(

    I have just spent an hour writing my first review in ages on doovous, really out of the swing of it on there!! Not sure I'm going to do another today but want to aim for the cheque so must get stuck in. Just working back through everyonew who has rated me and I will have a search for anyone who I haven't added.

    My netbook hates woohoo so I'm not going to carry on, not even sure what I'm doing lol.

    Vistaprint didn't track, nevermind, but I still think it was a bargain for the items I ordered so very happy. Thank you all for the links.

    Well done all on your redeems and vouchers, :T

    Thank you hun, there probably is but it keeps disconnecting me and I can only see a quarter of the screen, goodness knows how to fix it, have windows open for everything at the moment, multitasking and all that :rotfl:

    If you know roughly where I need to look please do let me know hun, but I am easily confused
