Just realised I am in bed and haven't been on to update you all! oh dear lord so I grabbed my phone and am writing this so not tho break a promise! Ds has had tonsilitis again the last week! 3 times in just over 7 weeks! Getting ridiculous now! Luckily he wasn't really ill with it like he has been butt them again that meant the dr wouldn't give him antibiotics as it wasn't acute! I also pulled a muscle in my shoulder, possibly carrying all those tesco bags so I have been in a fair bit of pain with that too! OH is as useless as ever! Have been sticking tho challenge and completing all surveys and agree with you all that viva is a good un! Stepmum where are you I miss you! I have seen savvy, bunbun and esmer on the dtd thread so I was hoping they would report in if anyone noted me as mia! Esmer hope move us going well! Twinkle hope your doing ok now hun! And love to you all! Hope your all enjoying the sunshine!
Right then over and out brussel sprout! Ha can you tell I have had a glass or 2 of wine! X

Hello Starry eyed. I think all vouchers/gift cards have some sort of expiry date, Love2Shop vouchers do but it is approx 2 years. Amazon vouchers expire after 1 year. I've just received a Love2Shop voucher from Surveyfriends and the expiry date is 31.03.13. I don't have any other vouchers on me at the moment so can't double check.

Morning everyone, lush weekend, hope yours was too

I don't think viva likes me, everytime I try and complete a survey it says that there aren't any available. Well done to all of you that have managed to redeem from them though!!

Hope everyone is OK, haven't managed to read back over the last couple of days yet x

I'm the same. The first couple of tries on Viva it seemed to like me and let me do some, but for the last week it keeps saying there's no surveys for me. Boo hoo!

Hi everyone, hope we are all ready and ready to go on this sunny-ish Monday

Legendmum, sorry didn't mean to make you feel guilty, just wanted to see how you were getting on, that dtd thread is a bit addictive and when it finally ends (as all good thing tend to do...) we are going to need a post dtd support group for those being flung back into the real world Very pleased to hear you are keeping up with your money saving, it sounds like you are very busy with it all at the moment, well done!

Keeping up with some of the survey sites, loony isn't really going anywhere for me, have lots of vouchers outstanding and it's not looking promising. Sorted out the issues with VO, their system had incorrectly blocked m account, I wonder if it has anything to do with other survey sites using the same surveys? so I am back up and running with them for now. Loving viva at the moment.

Also had my first product trial invite from clix today, very impressed as I only registered a couple of days ago.

Twinkle and Nicky, make sure you check a couple times a day, weekends don't seem to have new surveys added but weekdays they seem to add new ones each day.

Hi everyone just a quick update over lunch. I haven't been around for ages sorry but enjoying catching up with the posts. I - like many others- was at risk of redundancy so been concerned with that over the past few weeks. I still have a job as our contract is being taken over by another company but facing a 20% pay cut. Still it is a job and that's the main thing at the moment.

I have managed to keep up with some surveys and had a few payouts - £10 maximiles, £10 Ipsos , £5 GFK , £5 BP and £20 onepost in March - most already spent as I've a wedding coming up but great to have the vouchers! Got £10 John Lewis from Ipsos I think and delighted to see you could use it online as was able to put towards wedding gift.

Oh and got a bit addicted to WH - got up to 6o gold stars over two months- hoping I might get a voucher for Christmas at that rate when WOOHOO I won 150 gold stars on the 9pm jackpot - couldn't believe it - it was the 1st April but no joke there.

Ebay a bit of a disaster - three things didn't sell and the other I got £1.50 for - still it all helps.

Keep meaning to have a go at dooyoo so that's my own challenge for this month.

I also joined swagbucks in March and have redeemed £5 Amazon in a month so worth a look. Don't know if anyone has mentioned it here before? You get swagbucks (SBs)for random searches, doing surveys, daily poll, special offers etc. You can get 20-30 SBs a day for not a lot of effort and then make up points with surveys or tasks. It doesn't work if you search all the time, I find a few searches a couple of times a day gives you 10-15 SBs, then vote on the daily poll - 1 SB, click skip through the NOSO for 2 SBs, you get one every day for the toolbar, 1 for clicking surveys. The tasks are searching for stuff and vary in points and length, though I did a 140 SB one in half an hour and then took 40 mins on a 40SB one - a bit like surveys really! At least you can't get screened out though but I have given up on some! There are videos and other stuff as well I haven't really had time to look at. There is a lot of info on the site www.swagbucks.com - pm me for a referral. You get SBs for your referral's searches too so worth sharing out.

Better get back to work - will have to catch up with posts later. Hope everyone OK.
