What is VIVA, not a member. If it helps do you want to recommend me

It's Vivatic, you can't do referrals for them unfortuantely.

Here's the link -

Hope this helps

Morning everyone. I'm back from my exceptionally stressful weekend. Got to love families eh? These pills are making me feel awful too!!

Thanks for the new challenges Elysia. I am about as fantastic at growing/nurturing as I am at baking, so my stories of my lack of green fingers will make you all smile in a month or so I'm sure!

Supposed to be launching a website today so apologies if I'm not around much. Need to get on viva or whatever it's called. I can't believe I missed that one out - not like me at all!!!

I need to join vivatic too, and also catch up on looney. I got promoted to novice member over there, and got 7,500. Result.

I also just got an email from synovate, they were giving me 100 points as it is my birthday this week, but then the link said it was expired less than one hour after it arrived in my inbox. I have emailed them to try and get it added. Otherwise what a lovely empty gesture.

To be honest, i feel really sulky this morning. DH didn't make much of a fuss for mothers day, in fact it was the usual me do everything without even a card to show for it. Good job DS made me one at nursery. I don't expect him to go mad but he didn't even make me a cuppa or anything. I cleaned the bathroom, made everyone a cooked lunch and even did the washing up. Men are so useless. He won't have even thought i might like something, and it is not like my 4 year old and 2 year old are capable of anything themselves. I sort everything else, so is it too much to ask? Obviously so.

I have finally cleared my inbox of surveys (joined a lot of sites last year but have been very lax at actually completing them!) so I feel ready to join another (thought I'd give Viva a go!!). Will try my hardest to keep up with them all this month - although I've just spotted that another has crept in while I've been typing!

I also feel ready to start following opinions on T*l*na (is there a reason why you all don't write the full name of sites?) so would appreciate a copy of the username list - then I can start paying everyone back for all the fab advice! My username is the same as the one I use here.

I am playing catch-up with the challenges - just took advantage of the free listing weekend to try and shift some of my junk (sorry - "treasures"!) but I love the idea of planting things - already have a few bits growing for us - never thought of planting the whole packet and selling the excess....

March was a disaster when it came to money making but I'm determined to get back on track for April. Thanks for the monthly challeges Elysia especially the survey challenge.

***** APRIL 2011 - CHALLENGE************************************
2. We are concentrating on surveys this month - Sign up to a new survey company if you can too - It's better to have too many surveys, than not enough.

*********************************************************************************************************

I'm interested in joining loads more survey sites this month as a result of this challenge. If anyone would like to recommend some (post on here or PM me). If you PM me please state what the payment method and threshold are. I'm currently a member of the following sites:

Crowdology, Dialego, Globaltestmarket, HI-epanel, IAP, Justtheanswer, Maximiles, Myvoice, Newvista, 1poll, Opinionresearchpanel, Opinionworld, Pureprofile, RewardTV, Springboard, Surveyfriends, SurveyNetwork, 2Luna, Valued Opinions & Vivatic.

3. Are you still putting some of your shopping savings away? Continue to do that, if you have been. If you've been lucky enough to get some DTD back, try and put a bit extra in the pot, an extra £1 or two will make sooo much difference.
**************************************************

Had no luck with the Tesco price guarantee so far, think it takes up too much time and the bargain products are thinks I don't eat/drink/use. Will put any money I save by using printable coupons I get from beforeishop, newspapers and the discount thread into a jar this month instead.

4. Fun Challenge - get a packet of seeds, flowers, tomatoes whatever you like, and plant them..

***************************************************************************** ****

Already started this challenge - have celery, peppers and leeks on the windowsill. Waiting for the nice weather to come back before I start planting more seeds. I'm also waiting for free tomato seeds I requested from Tropicana breakfast club to turn up.


Decided to set myself a daily mini task to try and keep on track. Today's tasks are enter competitions closing on 5th & 6th April and do all sponsored polls on 2Luna.

Been promoted on TL so nearer my next redeem.

Still avoiding ebay but I've got a couple of bits to put on once I get my motivation going.

Hi all well my totals for March are dismal!

Looney - 15 Amazon
Sony -15 Amazon

Thats it! lol! I am 5 points of redeeming on IPSOS! and I have 17.59 in survey network but waiting to accumulate some more before requesting pay out! Also have £35.19 on Quidco but have requested payout at £50 so still a way to go!

Dont need to check council tax band as I have done this before! Have been doing all surveys to my main email account but need to go catch up on my survey email account and I know that will be chocca so will wait till DS in creche on Wednesday! Have been getting Tesco saving stamps as I am saving with the price check thingy so will hopefully have enough for the Christmas food shop which OH usually gives me the money for so will have a nice wad from him in December which I may keep for me seeing as all he bought me yesterday was a KFC! Grrr

DS made a card in nursery so I had that! It was a handbag which he had painted with his fingers! Sent a pic to my Mum and she rings asking if its a rocket?! Made me laugh!!!

Hope your all well and well done on the totals! Woohoo! Go us!

I just checked T'looney after seeing people mention about getting points added. I've had 7,500 points added with 'level advancement bonus' next to it, but then I checked my level and it still says 'Intermediate member'. Strange, either they forgot to change my level tag or they have given me bonus points by mistake, either way I don't want to give the points back!

I have 11 things on Ebay with lots more to add when I get the chance. Only 1 has watchers at the moment but hopefully that will pick up during the week. It's worth a try anyway

Just popped on to Viva and got another £1, if it keeps up like this it could become my new favourite
