Please can I join in with this challenge for next year? I already know a couple of you from cashback sites and such. I joined Bingoport a while ago but was put off as I didn't know what I was doing. However thanks to PammyJ and Elysia I am off and running now. Look forward to seeing some of you on there. My name is twinkletoes123 on there.

Well blinking Kirsty got me in trouble again! Well technically not her fault this time but I still blame her! got a telling off TWICE for use of capitals in the chat! Ooops! Well I didnt know! Dont wanna play now so have stopped nasty CM! Won a line though!

Legend I was in that room when all that was going on and I thought it was handled badly. I thought she was talking to herself as she was writing in caps (didn't know cm's write like that). Dont let it put you off, we are all still learning.

Look forward to the challenges ahead!

Zangels, sorry if someone has already posted this but still way behind on the posts!

If you check your profile it lists how many games you have played & should show 5 sets of 36 points (18 tickets x 2 points per ticket) for each time you select auto 18. Hope that makes sense,:)

Think i have sorted it now, i play auto 18 2 times. i think at first i dithe auto 18 and the closed the room after 1 game as didnt realise it was for five doh!

Just spent an hour on Toluna! They have loads of surveys on there, given myself a headache now though lol I just did a 25 min survey but the points have not appeared in my account, I am sure it said 5400 points, does it take a while to credit? Don't want to spend that much time doing another one until I know I will get the points.

Don't worry, the points for surveys don't usually go on straight away. I think they go on when the survey closes, which could be a few hours after you do it or sometimes it can be a few weeks. They will go on though

Kec - sometimes the points go on instantly and sometimes you have to wait upto 6 weeks. Don't worry - it'll be fine

Great thank you

why are ther two thrifty gifty 2011 forums? Im confused?

pammyj74

one is for xmas challenges, like getting things in order, making things, wrapping things, doing lists of gifts etc and THIS one is for making money for xmas/birthdays etc

Argh Toluna is so frustrating! Just spent 45 mins answering questions but only ever getting a few mins into each survey to be told I don't qualify, going to call it a day now and hope I have more luck tomorrow

I have just joined one poll, so now am going to do that as well as valued opinions and also the bingoport. What are good comps to do? Also is toludo? ? ? not sure of spelling worth doing? I have som big baby things to sell like pushcahir ,car seat , high chair, change unit and not sure of the best place? Any advice?

Toluna is ok, gets a bit tedious, but mainly you just click the sponsered surveys, some will take you to another survey, there 50/50 as to whether you get extra points, but worth doing.

I found that when Miss Hoodie grew out of her baby stuff, I put the items in our local paper, - we have thats nightly - buts its hit and miss when the free adds go in, the other is weekly and again free adds. That way theres no postage etc - and although you may have a couple of no-shows stuff went.
The only problem item I couldn't sell for love nor money was her pram/pushchair, even thou it was Mothercare, I ended up selling to a "junk" shop for £5.
Carboots people would only expect to pay a couple of quid for a pushchair even if it was 9carat gold. xx
