Odd question, but bar Nickybo, is there any one expecting, as for some reason I'm having urges to start emptying cupboards and draws... (either that or do this 3,000 word sports assisgnment...tick tock have to have it done by Tues!!
Got dentist 2mor to have 2 crowns fitted, thats 2mor gone, then fri taking Miss Hoodie and her friend out for the day... no sleepover this time, can't move in my bedroom, (thats next to be gutted!!).

It was the airing cupboard today, it was like Dr Whos tardis, never ending, its resulted in
Big bag towels and blankets for the local dogs trust
big bag curtains, old quilt covers - for the sewing club at school
carrier bag of Miss Hoodies pjs - that are new but size 6/7 - and had ended up at the back of the airing cupboard.

Morning everyone.

Feeling pleased I have been accepted to do two product testings. I have never done one before so should be fun. One is from Mr T's panel and the other off VO.

Managed to do the first survey on VO for about a month! Has anyone else found there have been fewer surveys for them.

Thanks - do you know if there a list of MSE Dooyooers anywhere on this forum??? Would be nice to find others on Dooyoo :beer:

Anyone who does DooU shout out now.

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 if this sounds rude - but if you knew how much they were worth, you probably wouldn't bother with half of them. :cool: Just keep doing them, and they'll mount up. What's that saying? Ignorance is bliss. Every penny helps.

I've just joined dooyoo, not quite sure what I need to do but I have added u elysia to my circle of friends (i think!) any advice or tips would be fab!

Morning everyone.

Mum2one Fab totals - You've done really well. Don't thank me for anything, you do all the hard work!

Just a reminder for all the Newbies - Mum2one runs the sister thread (Thrifty Gifty Organised for Christmas and Santa Challenges) where you get all organised through the year, and helps us find bargains for Christmas. The challenges are brilliant! If you need help or inspiration, or are stuck for gift ideas head over there.

Samm - well done hun. You can do it! You'll have that car sorted before you know it.

Claire - Well done to you too. I love product tests, but haven't done any for a while. Up and early reviewing this morning wasn't you. I did one too.

Kirsty - Have you joined Ciao? You can paste you reviews over there, and get extra money for the same review - it does mean double rating in return though.

I've done my £2.50 this morning, as we're off out for the day. I will complete what I miss when I get back. I hope you have a great money making day everyone.

Ohhh, and just a suggestion if you are finding £2.50 not much of a challenge - how about trying to beat the previous days balance, but DO NOT get obsessive about it (Michelle) - all I'm asking for is £2.50 or you pay your 50p fine.

Well done Samm,

You need to search for things to review.

Here's the sitemap this will help loads. There are things in different levels - Level one pays the most per review 30p I think, plus a rating fee. Level two is 15p, Level one is 10p and the dooyoo louge, which is opinions or recipes is none, but you do get 1p per rate.

Try and type your review into Word, and spell check it. If it's less than 150 words you won't get paid.

Make sure you put in as much detail as you can, and include plenty of opinion, ... I think this because, this is useless because, I didn't like it and so on....

Then when someone rates you, try and always rate theirs back. This way, you build up a following, if people KNOW you are going to rate them back, they will be more likely to rate you. If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours type of thing. (Same as Toluna).

Sorry it's just a quickie, I'm just off out. If you need anymore help, just ask. Everyone will help if they can.

Will add you on DooU and T when I get back later.


ETA: I just logged into DooU to find the link for Samm, and noticed my balance has gone up - I got review of the MOnth, but I think it's a mistake.

I have done two surveys already, one was 75p SN and one was £1 VO. Didnt qualify for any others. Have a 99p iem ending on EB tonight so that does my £2.50 for today. Will still keep checking though during the day if I can (out again later on).

Got family coming round elysia so wanted to get it done early. Got a poorly little boy as well really high temp so been up with him very early.


Samm I have added you on dy. If you take a look at the first page of this thread i am sure elysia has written abit about it. You review products and get paid for doing so. You also get paid for any rates you get from other members. There is a bit of a community going on though so people like it if you return the favour and rate theirs. I usually make my review at least 500 words to get good ratings. Just take a look at some of my reviews or elysias to get an idea. It does get easier. Your first couple of reviews are always difficult. Last year I made £130 from them (i only started half way through the year as well).
