    There was a list of some of the survey sites on the first page. That's the only one i saw when i've read through.

    My motivation is good today. I just wrote 2 reviews, and i have done some surveys, although i spent a good half hour doing one for surv. netw0rk this morning for £1.50 for it to crash while doing the personal info at the end so i was gutted. I also wrote an opinion on tol, which has had 28 comments already, and i already got 500 points added there, so maybe they are speeding up there.

    Amazing what a bit of sunshine does for my motivation. Now if i could only apply that to housework too.

    Woohoo, I've had my £10 from shopping.com paid as well :)

    I also managed to find time to write a T'luna opinion earlier, first in quite a while! I'll pop back on later and start checking everyone's profile for new opinions etc.

    Now I'm actually off to write some Ebay descriptions, unless something distracts me first!

    Oops, distracted myself already!
    I just checked 1poll and there are LOADS of surveys on there! I just made £1.15, not bad after weeks of barely making 10p :)

    I have just registered on dooyoo after reading about it on here, it looks quite good and will give me something new to do. I'm really glad I found this thread, I was feeling very lonely doing all my surveys and things on my own!

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Woken up to a gloomy day out there, have picked today to go out and do some errands, should have done them yesterday when it was sunny really :(

    Have caught up with most of the survey sites and getting closer on the free bingo too think i have 70 of the twinkly things to go. I also had payout from shopping.com too yippee! Thanks Elysia for letting us know about it.

    I have been a little naughty, BHS have champagne gift sets at 75% off or better, I have bought 2 lanson brut gift sets with branded glasses (was £50 each) and one Lanson rose champagne with chocs set (was £40) for £25 for the lot, and topcashback.

    If anyone is interested here is the links

    http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/352720

    and use the discount voucher for £5 off £25 spend. I haven't put it on grabbit to give you ladies first pickings but they will go fast, lanson is usually £30 a bottle :D

    Right must survey, bingo and review, will be back later my lovelies. Have a good day all x

    Woohoo thanks Savvy - It looks just what I'm after (champagne sets) I have a wedding later in the year and they already live together so have loads of stuff. Champagne will make a lovely change.

    Awol yesterday but didn't do too bad. I managed to get my £10 from Shopping.com, £10 from juicy brains, and £6 from word of mum. Still can't get my act together though. I got screened out of the ones I had invitations to so I didn't bother looking for anymore. I haven't even been on the new Onepolly yet. Oops.

    Have been busy(ish) - did a spring clean yesterday am - I only went in bedroom to find two birthday presents, and ended up sorting through all my stashed presents, trying to get them in as few boxes as possible. We now now walk around the bed. Yay!!! Then I emptied wardrobe and filled it up again. Got rid of two black bags and a million trillion boxes, but didn't find anything to ebay.

    Got to go now. Will be back in a bit. :)

    Bum - I had to go to take Elysia to school at 8am so didn't get the black champagne set - I think I'll get a pink though - just in case. There's always something popping up.

    Come on then, own up. Wo nicked it? ;) I tried to add two to my basket but there was only one, I also had some half price photo frames, and while I added the £5 off code at the payment stage, my champagne had disappeared. :eek: Thanks Savvy for posting anyway, at least I saved a bit of cash. :rotfl:
