Hey everyone .

Savvybunny : I use greaseproof paper to put my shortbread on and they are always browner on the bottom. I presumed this was how they were meant to go and I prefer them this way anyway haha

I dont cash out very often on sites as I dont have much time to do surveys so going to keep track of how much I have on each site .

Heres my March totals:

Ebay= £131.30 ( paid off debts plus got approx £25 in paypal to send my bank, will count this for april)
Shopping.com= £10 (put away for christmas)

VO: 7.75 (3.00 to clear)
Yoursay: 5.65
1Poll: 3.70
TL: 26,694 points
Vivatic: 1.00 (just joined!)

Total Cash: 141.30
Total on survey sites: £18.10

Saved 250/250 for Longleat (only 2 weeks till we go yay!)
Next challenge is save £500 for a holiday in sept!

Really pleased especially with the ebay sales . Hoping they continue this month!

And hoping to get those survey totals much higher by the end of april with this months survey challenge . I am definately guilty of picking and choosing oops!

Ooh and I complete a phone call survey for £1 today for YourSay, Ive never done a phone call one before and was tempted to avoid the call as I was doing something but the challenge echoed in my head so I answered

Hello all!! I'm finally going to start joining in the conversation. I hope all is going well and you don't feel too ploughed down with all the surveys so far for this challange. I've been following for a while and can't believe how much some of you make very impressive i must say, my totals will never be that great lol

So my totals up to,, well,, now:

V.O £9.25 and about £6 pending

Looney (Very aptly named considering the trouble people have) 30 amazon vouchers (claimed end of Feb) and 73,000

M. Surveys 490 points

Ipsos- 1280

I've already claimed 2 voucher this yr which was my whole total last yr so am bound to do much better this year!

How is the house move going,, Im about to move flats and its such a nightmare lol going to have to spend £500 just to furnish it a bit,,, so definately looking to make christmas money neutral!! So far with birthdays

Brother- Using a voucher i recieved = £0 spend
Mum- Brought towels= £25 spend but used ebay money!
Dad- Coffee Glasses= £0 spend (amazon vouchers)
BF- No idea yet what i'm getting (cant say he reads here lol)
bf dad- ???
bf mum- ???
bf bro- ???
Friend- ???
Friends newborn- ???

I think thats my list really it will be the same list for christmas so once birthdays are covered i can do christmas hunt

Well done Butterfly - you've done so much better than last year so you ought to be extremely proud of youself. Good on you!

Great to see everyone busy doing surveys . I've signed up to two new ones, Savvy's one (thanks Savvy) and Surveyhead - I don't know how I missed that. I think I must be on around twenty five now - so I have bits of money all over the place. Imagine if they all cashed out in the one month - That'd be good. LOL

It's brilliant to see you've all tried the Council Tax thingy - to tell you the truth, my DD had recorded a program on TV this time last year, and taped the wrong channel and got Loose Woman instead. Martin was on there talking about this, and so she checked and we were in the wrong band. What a shock I got when we were told we were in credit and only had to pay £5 per month last year. It was wonderful.

After struggling so hard for a few years trying to make our money stretch as far as it could, last year was brilliant - and it was made so much better by all of the help I got off this thread, so I'm just hoping I can give something back in return.

I hope all the Mummy's are having a wonderful day today. I've had some lovely presents, and have been throughly spoilt. I'm going to try and do some more surveys for a bit, and then I'm putting me feet up. Have a lovely day everyone - Don't forget ebay is free today.

Hello again
Thought I'd drop in again I got a £10 voucher from VO in March and I'm up to £35 on DY and still working towards my £50 cheque! Have signed up to a couple more survey sites now so will try to do better in April although will be away for a lot of it so not sure how I'll manage... Hope everyone is well and all the mum's had a good day being spoilt.

Good evening all, hope all the mummies have had a relaxing day and been thouroughly spoilt!

Just thought I would post my total for the month. Not as much as I had hoped but still not bad. Managed to get a few of the bargain bits this month at tesco so at least our shopping bills will be a bit lower for a short while. Just hope the kids dont get used to the premium brands :rotfl:

Thank you all for you help on vista. Could only order 2 out of the 4 things in the end and couldn't get cashback as it kept upping the prices by a lot. Still pleased though.

Joined the other survey site savvy posted (thank you savvy :A) Was a bit worried as I had read a bit on loony and wondered if it was a scam, but then i read the thread on here about it and seems others have been paid. What I was going to ask is if you do 1 survey to the end, are you then meant to click on the button that says do you want to do another survey, or do you close it and click on the button on the survey site again? I see it says you can do 3 or 4 surveys a day with each.

Anyway, have a good evening all and take care x

No luck on Viviatic for me tonight. Imagine if you could just do one survey each day, thats £30 a month!

Morning everyone :wave:

Hope all mummy's had a lovely day yesterday

Well done everyone on your totals, it all adds up and will make a big difference when you start the Christmas shopping.

Reached payout on viva this morning after just three days. It is worth noting that £10 is the minimum payout so you can wait until you have more to request payment if you like. I requested payment at £10 and there is a 20p paypal fee so it is actually a £9.80 payment, but will be paid in 10 days time which is very good.

For those that are a little confused I'll try to help. You can complete up to £4 a day on viva, which is four surveys. You can do as many surveys as you like but will only be paid a maximum of £4 per day. I think there is a slight glitch with the surveys at the moment as I have completed 4 of the same survey and two of the same survey via each of the buttons and been paid for all of them so worth doing when you have a free 10 minutes.

Morning everyone

I have got back into DY a bit, have done three reviews over the last four days, only films so not much money but will have a go at some pet ones if I get a chance as they are more. I like doing the films though.
