    LOL. Stressed - I felt like James Bond when I did my first one - this message will self distruct in 10 secs and all that. I gave it up as I was always asked to go to places out of my way, and I always spent all of my earnings on busfare. There was someone local who used to take all the best jobs before I got there, so I signed up to a new one. If anyone wants any info pm me. It doesn't pay a lot but if you're going to the shops, etc anyway it's a little bit of cash and a free meal/drink etc.

    The new VO was a bit of a shock when I got a survey yesterday. It's a bit bright isn't it? :D

    With Viva - I've just done three NVista surveys in a row but only got credited for one, that's the second time, so I'll only do one at a time now. Have yours gone through OK everytime Savvy? Please don't worry about recommending it - Viva is great, and I'm at £12.85 in a week so I'm happy :D, but I should be around £20ish. :( I've not got any surveys from SN either - they must be the same. ;)

    Well done Susan on planting all those seeds. It'll do you good to get out and in the garden getting some fresh air. :D

    I've claimed £20.70 from survey network today, and had a £10 sainsbugs voucher from maximiles arrive via postman. Not a bad day at all.

    I have noticed since joining vivatic i have had no notifications from survey network, and none from NVL. I also did an 85p survey and it did not validate, so i am not sure i will continue with it.

    The green house story made me laugh. We have had to weight it with rocks to stop it blowing about, but i noticed last year there were a lot of wasps in it buzzing round the roof, and they have stung holes through it. Never mind. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and lettuces growing from seed on my window sill. I am going to get some peppers going next week after we have been away for the weekend.

    Morning everyone.

    I'm going to HK with work (means expenses are paid whoop!!) fly on 3/5 return 10/5. I'm doing some research out there with alumni and have scheduled in a bit of time for some R&R. Just starting to get really excited about it all now!

    I checked my VO app last night and had a 50p survey on there that I wasn't notified about, took about two minutes to complete too :)

    My little plants are getting battered in this weather, I doubt they will survive me being away in HK and the OH looking after them!

    I've done a bit of Mystery Shopping too, but try to make sure it is in the area I work or can get into town at lunch. I must have signed up to something along the way as I had an email last night asking if I was interested in receiving 20 pieces of mail for a £15 Amazon - anyone else had that?
    Dribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000

    If anyone's around - there are over £1.50 worth of surveys on Onepolly atm.

    Twinkle - that post thing sounds like a nice little bonus. I signed up to something similar but not heard anything yet. I remember I was laughing when I filled it out - OH moans about the amount of post we have at the best of times. :)

    Our strawberries are coming along fabulously - even have little fruit on the already. :D I just have to stop Elysia eating them all before I get to try one - she ate every one last year - no-one got a look in.

    Off out with Elysia and her friend to a park or play centre, although it will probably be the latter as it's chilly and overcast today. See you later everyone - have a good afternoon.

    Just remembered - I had an email off buyagift. They've reduced some of their gift packages to £10. I went to order a photoshoot for DD1 and her friend was £50 and now £10. Vouchers last 10 months but I wanted it for her 21st this time next year. I may get it for Christmas instead, I'll have a think about it. :)

    Anyway - all the details are here. http://www.buyagift.co.uk/content/promotions/10promo/?cm_mmc=newsletter*110412-unr-long*maincta*a I even have a voucher code for 10% off if anyone is interested. code is 357357.

    Onepoll is being a bit pants today though isn't it. I'm finding pages aren't submitting again, and sometimes the submit button is not appearing.

    On the bright side, my £20 requested from survey network arrived in paypal today. If only all sites were so quick at paying.
  • Got my 40 quid from 1Poll yesterday which was nice. Not too keen so far on vivatic. Did two surveys yesterday and only one paid. Plus one the day before was not paid! And as the earlier one was also on SN could not get it through there either. Still like SN the best- earnt £150 since November. :)

    Managed to get into Reward Opinons as the old site resurfaced again. Quickly cashed out and now hope I actually get it! Not too keen on the VO new look. Looks cheap and over bright. Still as long as they keep on paying not too bothered!

    cheers
