    This has been asked before on here and Real toothyfairy gave a detailed explanation see below. :)
    Sony is Sonymusicbackstage.com. You do polls and opinions and they give you £5 amazon voucher each month once you have hit 50 points which is easy to do. I'm not sure if they are still allowing people to join up as alot of people from MSE had their accounts closed (cant remember why!!)

    butterfly aspella is right! I have an account so does the OH, although he has no clue about it! My Mum also signed up but cant be bothered with keeping up to date with the polls so has left it to me!

    Hey everyone, hope your all doing well.

    Been so busy didn't even realise the time. I am having another nightmare withe ebay at the moment, buyer claims the item was damaged when it was brand new and accuses me of sticking fake tags on a used item. Seriously what is the world coming too? She only paid a few quid and the pictures I took clearly show no marks where she says there were stains.. geeeez.

    Made chocolate and vanilla marbled cupcakes today, they were yummy was a bit of hassle making two lots of icing and two lots of sponge mixes without one of those fancy kitchen mixers but very worth it. Will update the blog tomorrow when I get a chance :)

    Think I am all up to date on surveys now, was accepted to trial nappies today so I will save the money we would have spent on those.

    I was thinking they lowered the points on sony, took a little longer to get there this month but it's all good fun.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff

    Morning everyone!
    Legendmum you did a lot better than me last month I managed one redeem on V.O £10 and that was it!
    Nickybo I have had the same on T, points for level advancement but my level hasn’t changed.
    Really need to put a bit of effort in this month. I have had my first redeem of the month with shop&scan yeah! My dad has asked me to sell his Subbuteo collection on eBay and we can then split the profit so got 10 listings on over the weekend. Hopefully it is going to be a better month.
    We had the nursery teachers round yesterday to see my son. He is starting after Easter, I can’t believe my baby is going to nursery.

    Mum2one - have a good holiday. Don't think of us while you and Miss Hoodie are having a swimming with the dolphines, and sunning yourselves on the beach.. I hope you have a fantastic time - you deserve it. :D

    Savvy - I look forward to seeing your cakes. It sounds like ebay customers are certainly pushing their luck at the moment. I've glad to say the only problems I've ever had with ebay have been my own fault. I've had a couple of non payers, but as soon as ebay is informed, they cough up quick enough.

    Nicky - I'm glad you got extra points on looney. I wouldn't want to give them back either. ;) I'm sure your statue will change soon. I see all the points are being added on a Monday now, unless it's really low.

    Michelle and Legend - sorry your OH's didn't spoil you on Sunday. It's just that they don't think, but come Father's day it's where's my pressie? LOL.
    Now my Dad's retired (and bored) he a bit of a nuisance, he follows me shopping, and rings me ten times a day, but before when he was working, I used to get a phone call three times a year - the day before his birthday, fathers day and Christmas. I could have placed bets on it.

    Clairy - You can do it!!! Ahhh bless, at LO starting nursery. They all look too little to go, but it does them so much good, and gives you a bit of a break (to do more surveys) too. LOL

    Well done on keeping up with the surveys everyone! I had loads yesterday, some high paying ones too, and typically got screened out of every one! I'm keeping going though. :D I'm just about to get started on todays, so I'll see you all later.
    I :heartpuls M.S.E.
