    Savvy, I've had looney add some of my surveys tis morning but not all, I still have about five or six open and now have five incorrectly tracked.

    My Newvista stuff have always been brilliant. I've ordered several bags and always been very happy with them. I've never put a photo on a pen though - I usually just use their design and add a greeting - To Auntie so and so, or Happy Birthday etc.

    Mine arrived this morning too - and although I only paid £2.30 odd for them, I'd have happily paid that for just the pen. :)

    Try again, because you haven't lost a lot, you might be converted. :)

    I've been doing surveys since 10- I had the dreaded GHD one - It took just over an hour - I kept thinking, it'll be over in a minute, one more minute
    LOL Goodness, they are getting their money worth with that one. ;)

    How's everyone today? I had to go and see the 3D models of DD2's new school - It's amazing! Still at the planning stages, but by goodness me, it'll be fantastic when it's done. She currently goes to my old school (40 years old) and they are demolishing it for housing as it's in a prime location. I felt quite emotional - big softie that I am.

  • is there room for a little one?

    i've been following this thread and thought it about time i joined in
    took me ages to come up with a username that wasn't already taken lol and even now i have a rubbish one :D
    ive been surveying and ebaying but havent done any reviews if anyone wants to refer me to any ?

    savvybunny i too ordered the banner from vista and was over the moon with it , but i also ordered 2 bags using the same picture and they are rubbish the printing is really mottled and spotty i too thought oh well they were only postage costs ,but i dont think they are usable they are that bad :(

    p.s im new to using forums so please tell me if i do anything wrong !
  • Hi sparkleychel, welcome to the thread :wave:, your username isn't rubbish at all, mine is, I couldn't think of anything when I registered either lol.

    I have emailed Vistaprint about the print quality of the bags, I was hoping to order some for giftbags for family with the kids photo's on, hopefully it was just a bad batch and they will sort it out but the. I half expected the quality to be a little off but the picture looks nothing like the one sent for printing. I think I would use them again for notebooks and banners etc items that are printed onto paper or card but not sure I would use a photo again on other materials. I do love the banner though so I am happy with the price I paid.

    My points are being added slowly, probably have a few tracking wrong but I'm not keeping a close eye on it, I figure it's one less thing I need to stress about at the moment, what with ELC, Disney and Next still not refunding me.

    Hiya sparkley - welcome to the thread.

    Don't worry you'll be fine. We do tend to abbreviate company names though, just to be on the safe side, but you'll get the hang of it soon. :)

    ANy problems just ask, ok - we're here to help.

    First thing to do, is read through the first few posts and see if there's any other sites you can sign up to - make sure you read the warnings highlighted in Red on post two.

    Dooyoo is the site where we are writing reviews - it's a lot easier then other sites and you can see your earnings mount up before your eyes. As with anything, you have to work at them, the more you put in, the more you get out. I have to pick DD up from school now - someone else will be along to refer you in a minute, I'm sure.

    Please join in often - we LOVE having new members - the more the merrier. :D

    And thanks Claireylulu, I put your name in the search engine on there the other day and it didn't come up with anything. Also I left comments on one or even two of Legendmums opinions and when I looked last night they weren't there. Was bothered because I had posted on here that I had done it. I haven't actually written an opinion yet, well not since the first one about a month ago. Don't actually know what to waffle on about tbh.

    I have done a survey on Toluna today but nothing so far on onepoll. Just keep popping on when I can grab a few minutes.
