    I'd heard amazon only took vouchers off items they were selling? Is that it?

    No, I have used my vouchers to buy things from other sellers on Amazon before. Have you checked your gift certificate balance? Go to My Account top left and then go to the gift certificate balance and make sure it says you have £20 and not £10. If you only have £10 then get onto Dooyoo and tell them. If its £20 then I would get onto Amazon and find out from them instead. Hope you get it sorted xx

    Kirsty my account does that too but should be fine if you continue on and have to sign in! It always does it to me and I have over £130 in my account and each time I add something it only takes a tenner off until I proceed further!

    Nope I checked that - everything is "dispatched and sold by Amazon UK"

    I have checked my account balance and it says £20.

    I'll bang an email off to Amazon.

    Thanks for the help : )

    How do I know how much I earn from each survey as they all give points for completion? Do you just know how much each point is worth for each company?

    Didn't have any problems installing shop and scan so looking forward to using it tomorrow when I have done some shopping.

    Sorry for the delay in the challenges. I've been busy with DD2 today, and suddenly realised earlier that it was the 1st today. I think the Bnk Holiday on Monday threw me out. :)


    Challenge No 6 – June 2011



    1. Take the oath – Promise you will complete every survey on so and so site. Whatever site it is, is up to you. If you’re struggling with any one imparticular, make it that one, OR if one is sending you quite a lot lately, make it that. It’s your choice.


    Fill in the blanks. I, .....mum2one............................. do solemnly declare to partake in every survey sent to me by....tlooney, VO, Global Test Opinions................................ , until the end of the month.



    2. Pay the forfeit – Earn £2.50 a day by any means possible – using vouchers while shopping, surveys, writing reviews, eBay sales spread out over the week, etc. However you'd like to do it is ok. If by the end of the evening, you haven’t earned at least £2.50, you put 50p in your savings account.
    Will do my best - don't think get £2.50 per day, so aiming for £1.00 per day, (sorry)


    3. Remember Quidco! I don’t know about you, but I seem to have got out of the habit of using Quidco/TCB when I’m making a small purchase, thinking, oh it’s only pennies. That could be why my payments have gone drastically down. :( Make sure you use cash back sites for EVERY online payment, and don’t forget your reward cards in store. You’ll soon see the benefit.
    Definately, getting few bits ebay, and need some freebies from Vista (basic freebies, so hopefully they should track). Got dads car insurance to do, so thank you in adcnace,


    4. It’s Father’s Day this month – instead of buying cards, either you make them, or gets the kids to do it. They are more special then, and the price of some of them in the shops, is astronomical. Don’t go out and buy tonnes of card and stuff, see what you can make from what you have at home. Granddads will treasure a card off the Grandkids, the more glitter the better :D.

    Def agree, Miss Hoodie has claimed my fathers day card, as she calls him dad... so she refused to give him the grandad card!! Make a card from Bailey (aka Mr Hoodie!!).
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    I hope these challenges are ok for you. If any has any ideas for next months challenges, don't be afraid to make any suggestions. ;) This thread is for all of us, so if you think of something we could all benefit from just shout out. I'm nice - honestly. :D


    Thanks to everyone for all the support you have given me, and to each other, you've made this thread a lovely place to be. If anyone is struggling, don't forget we are here for you, and you can pm me, anytime you like. I will help in any way I can.

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

    Thank you, you've given us another month of wonderful challenges, we've got 2 lovely thrify threads (even if Miss Hoodie has cleaning suggestions!!)

    But thank you for everything, as without the tlooney etc, Miss Hoodie nor I would of got new bedroom furniture. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
