    Some good advice their Kec. It certainly is not your fault. The only thing you have done maybe is not put yourself first and make some other friends. We are all hear to listen, and help you through it.

    I am going a bit goggle eyed today. I have been on this computer far too long on DY, looney, ciao and bingo. I also managed to squeeze in a few surveys. Ip505 is annoying me as i did a 250 point and 400 point survey that have not been added. I also did one on mysurv which then gave me no points and i hadn't realised. It took ages as well a music one.

    My surv - payment will be there sparkly. They always pay. You will probably see it this week.

    I'm hoping the effort put in today will lead to more pennies in the next week or so if people are being nice and returning rates.

    Sparkley - I've never done a paypal payment with them, but the paper vouchers usually come quite quickly so I expect your payment any day now hun.

    Michelle - well done hun. It'll be worth all the effort when the money comes rolling in. :)

    Chel - what you do is go into create at the top, and choose opinon or poll.

    Make your poll (which has multiple choice answers) you will get 100 points for each one you write. When you get replies, you will get points again. So the more people who rate you the better.

    OR

    Make your opinion. Just ask a question (you will get 100 points for this too) Then you go into more detail (make sure it's over 80 words and you'll get another 100 points). Then post it. People sometimes don't bother writing 80 words as they don't realise you earn extra. Try and write over 80 words for everything. ;)

    People will rate you, and what you do is, when you get a message on your public profile page that someone has visited you, go and do theirs too.

    The more people you rate, more will rate you - so when you've done an opinion, leave them a message, and they will do yours.

    It's sounds difficult but the hard thing is thinking up all the questions. You are allowed to earn 15,000 per month doing this, and the points usually get added only once per month, so don't give up, keep at it - the points are mounting up, it's just that you can't see them until they are added.

    Is that OK? I hope it's helped a bit. If you still need help, pm me tomorrow, and I'll talk you through it again, stage by stage.

    Night Chel, Night all. xxx

    Chel - yes I read that on there too, certainly worth it if you can make them all the same. The cushions I am doing are all individual so wont be able to use it for them but worth thinking about something else. I need to order some zips, I forgot I havent got any big enough for cushion covers. I was asking Elysia earlier so thought I'd ask all of you and see what you think, if you were buying would you prefer a cushion cover or a cushion with the pad already inside? I cant decide at the moment what to do. If I sell them with pads I need to find some that are not too expensive as wont really be able to add any more onto the total price. They will also cost more to post and I would have to buy large bags for posting them in so cushion covers would be far more easier. What do you reckon people would look for, a cover or a whole cushion?

    It's hard to say Rufus. I think if i were buying one cover i would want an inner, and if i was buying a multiple then i wouldn't as you can pick them up cheap enough off ebay. About £2 a cushion.
