I think it was 80 but do 100 to be on the safe side.

Well will just have to keep my fingers crossed all mine are ok then as I am sure a couple were under 100 but all over 80. If any of you have them on Facebook or whatever would you be able to ask them why you cant do a review on an item if you're the first one please? I tried three today that it said be the first to review this item and wrote out the reviews but then it came up and said something like this bit isnt working at the moment (cant remember what exactly but you get my drift). I was thinking at first that the site had gone down but then went and did one that already had a review and it went through ok. The wont get many reviews like they want if you just have to keep reviewing stuff already reviewed.

Just tried another couple of surveys but got screened out. Have got T up to date with no more polls or surveys to do and have done some replies on other peoples opinions. Think tomorrow I will have a go on DY as bit late today to start, OH is off tonight so he will want the lap top and I cant be bothered to put the other computer on.

Must put a reminder on my phone to upload some more bits on Ebay later this evening or I will forget. OH just reminded me I didnt hang the washing up last night lol my brain is like a sieve. It all needs rinsing out again as its gone smelly. (The washing not my brain lol)

The challenges are yours to do how you please - if you'd rather not do T, do ALL the other surveys instead. If you'd rather not make anything, see what else you can do, - babysitting, etc. I think I'll do some cardmaking and see if I can flog them to my mum, she's forever buying cards. I might actually pluck up courage and charge people for when I do their hair, because I'm family everyone expects freebies, I may have to put my foot down.

I've just signed up to beforeishop.co.uk for extra printable vouchers for money off shopping. They also have online voucher codes too.

ETA: I saw this program last night about extreme couponing. What an eye opener!!! There were these families who go shopping, have $2,000 worth of stuff, paid with coupons and only paid $6 cash. They were in the shop for five hours putting it through the till. :eek: OH said my feeble attempts at DTDing (I felt a bit guilty) were a failure. (he was joking I hope). :rotfl::eek: :rotfl:

Rufus - I will message Stuart - It gets on my nerves about that - how the hell do they expect different reviews if you can only review things that already have them???

Rufus - I clicked on the link, be the first to write a review and it worked for me. It was probably playing up earlier. I've messaged on FB asking how do we make a suggestion like on DOoU. I'll let you know what he says.

well its been craxy at work today, even had to work an extra hour but as its bank holiday its either time and half or double time (we forget which) anyway so its all extra money hehe

Went to a car boot this morning too and picked up a picnic basket with a top handle. I have wanted one for ages and this was exactly what I wanted and it was a bargain 1.50! And also picked up a gorgeous green top which is perfect for office wear (being optimistic about tomorrows interview!)

And my Mum gave me 3 huge bags of clothes, shoes, bags etc this morning that she has cleared out and said I can ebay or car boot them and keep the money yay! So have got them to sort out.

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Kec09! :bdaycake:

Hope you had a lovely Birthday and spoilt yourself a little, you deserve it hun x

Thanks for pointing me back to the Molton Brown thread Elysia, I went ahead and ordered, may keep it aside for a gift for my sister or mum - or maybe for myself for my Birthday later this year or Christmas

Been so busy today with catching up with money making, surveys etc and my daughter has been very poorly today More nappy changes than I would like to remember, high temperature, very upset and just not herself, poor little mite. Hubby has been ill too, it all happens at once doesn't it! I'm supposed to be studying but my mind is elsewhere so I'm going to sort out a shopping list for my last dtd vouchers keeping in the savvy shopper theme and try and find my blinkin clubcard.

I'm sorry I haven't kept up with everyone's polls and opinions, I will give it a go if I don't hit the hay early tonight and try to find the motivation to do the shopping reviews if I can think of anything to review.

About the extreme couponing programme, I hadn't seen it (I will see if I can watch it online) but I did watch a wife swap once about a family that extreme couponed and I was pretty gobsmacked, they had a basement stockpiled of non perishable items and had folders sorted with coupons, in order and did their shopping based on coupons.

Hi all few questions, what is wb, what are ther shopping reviews and anyone know when you spend £10 on certain brands and get £5 of vouchers back? I know pampers simply dry and febreze were in it and have just spent £10 on pampers and can't remember the web site to go to - wouldn't care but i've already done it once.
