Great totals Pink. Well done on T - I really can't get to grips with it, since my last voucher went missing in the post.

Bunbun - 99% of the time, if VIVA say there is a survey, there is one for me.

Well done on your sales Mooloo - keep reminding yourself - Every penny counts.

Thanks, will probably only be pennies as they are finishing at just after 10 tonight, and only the one bid each. By the time the ebay and paypal are paid there will not be that much left.!
Oh well. Two more things out of the house anyway.
Sewing together ties for handbags, and a few other things at the moment. Also made a camoflage bag so I may put that up later, but really ought to make stock for a shop. May get better returns.

Had a nice afternoon, not doing much. Went for a nice walk out on the back roads and watched the grand prix which ended with a bit of disappointment!

Managed to get another review across to C and done some rates on DY. Done a couple of polls on T just taking it steady.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

Having a treat tonight a takeaway!

does anyone else get an email from viva then when you click on the surveys get the following message "sorry there are no surveys available at the moment"
I have had this a few times recently

I find that if its says there are some surveys and you can earn £1 (or £2 etc) then there are surveys available that I qualify for. However if the email just says that there are surveys available or surveys are ending soon so dont miss you chance then usually there are none available for me. I check everyday anyway so I know that if I have already checked that day then there will be no new ones so I wont qualify for any with the second email. But with the first email I knwo they have just uploaded some new surveys so i head over then.

Miss hoodie is very happy, she has just made £35 on ebay, we listed 35 things, and sold 9, but that was good going, as there was some disney dvds and a few ds games, lot better value than trading in.

Updated her photo to include master Hoodie.... the very spolit pooch Bailey, - who at the mo is fast asleep snoring in the chair!!

Just order £20 chq 2ngt, so that help in Prague fund, near to cash out on tloony, still got 2 in progress, that be a nice extra in furniture fund. Sounds daft but as I've set an I want, it makes the surveys and the "throw outs" all worth it.

Good news, finally convinced the school to have a craft fayre, we're having it October, and am going to charge £10 per table, a school near to us, when they do craft fayres they charge £20 per table, - so thats my little baby...

All presents wrapped for June, 4 bdays, and in total 4 sets of presents for fathers day, just need to get my present for dad, - usually bottle of whisky... so not panicking yet!!

Morning all

Mum2one - well done to Miss Hoodie on her Ebay sales xx

My Bro rang last night, he is taking my Dad up to my Sis today so he can stay the week with her and asked if I want to go with him for the drive so off out at 9.

I still have my Son's birthday present, havent seen him since his birthday on the 23rd to give it to him.

Next month I just have Fathers Day which I only usually get a card, and Brothers 60th which is covered now (think, have to check the cards, I know I bought one for Brother but then remembered I wanted a 60th one so need to check I got it).

Might as well do the challenge update for this month while I am here this morning as got a while before he comes and I am ready to go,


1. Toloony

Complete ALL surveys.
Complete ALL polls
Make and Rate Opinions
I have done the first two, and did a few of the third but had my mind on other things this month. Think this should be carried over to next month. Did get one £15 Amazon voucher and claimed another, now have three outstanding but Bunbun got hers yesterday so hoping my next one might be here next week, dated 22nd March, hers was middle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Woohoo!!!

I have been doing this a lot this month, have managed to get my golds up from 54 to 72! And most of that was all in one day! Was on it last night whole evening and didnt win a bean lol, Used up all the points.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. Become A Savvy Shopper!
My OH is in charge of shopping so leave this up to him, I dont usually get much say in it all.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. The fun one! Make something and sell it.

This one I managed, I opened my shop which I have been meaning to do and sold something so £25 from here, I have some fees to pay at end of the month for listing everything and a % of my sale, think it comes to about £7, think the % worked out at 5%. Once I pay these then the next months wont be so bad, only if I list new stuff or sell anything.

Also have made about £50 on Ebay sales. Have another months worth to sell still so hopefully same next month.

Had £20 from TCB this month, £22 from shopping.com, £5 from MyS, £11 L2S vouchers from the mail survey I was doing. So not a bad month for me. Make it about £126 after I take off the Folksy fees.

Yes I have had this and also one of the surveys always freezes on my pc. Just claimed my first £10 and now cant seem to get any more surveys completed.

Well done Februarycat - keep at it. It'll work out in the end. I have noticed there aren't many on there the last couple of weeks.

Rufus - fantastic results honey. Congrats most of all on the shop. You've got us all inspired. I know I am. Those fees aren't too bad either are they? You'd pay that alone for the listing and sale of just the quilt, and you've got the other stuff listed too. Good luck with them.

Gosh it's been quiet on here today - I hope you've all been up to something nice.

I've been planning - I've been thinking about making my baby birth samplers to sell on ebay again - when suddenly it hit me, they'd do better on folksy. (Thanks Rufus) So I've been checking my supplies and I have enough aida to make a couple, and one is already made up ready to photograph. I've just been ordering some more aida in pretty designs, hearts, spots and butterflies, so I can make a few in different designs and colours in preparation. That's my aim for next month - Folksy shop. Woohoo. I'm so excited now.

Wow Elysia - that would be brilliant if you can get your shop up and running, may be we could help each other out with the promoting etc.

My computer died a death again this morning so having to use the laptop/ Went up with my brother to see my sister and was telling him about it and said I thought it was the hard drive so he said he had a spare one and we could stop and get it on our way home. When I got in OH helped me open it up and we exchanged the drive and am now in the process of reloading windows etc (10th time in about three weeks lol). So far it seems ok so fingers crossed it was only the drive that was playing up.

Hence havent really had time for surveys etc today so will see what I can do tomorrow. Will probs still have to finish the computer off in the morning as dont think I will have time to do it all tonight. Need to be up early as my youngest grandson is coming round for the day and he will be here by 7.30.
