    Folks - just be careful with the DY references - i don't want us to end up with a situation like on BP where everyone gets banned. They do check MSE for clicking cartels.

    No idea what today will bring survey wise, but i know i need to get out into the garden to save some of my veggie plants from the weeds that have taken over in the past couple of weeks, and i also need to go get some food in as we are out of bread and milk.

    I need to get off the computer. I don't want to spend all day checking if the shopping guides have been paid yet again. :o I think i need to learn some patience.

    Morning all :)

    Having a good moneymaking week so far, yesterday went to Tesco and had to ask customer services if I could still use my voucher as my receipt was missing half the info as I left it in my pocket (doh!) and they decided yes I could and gave me the cash for some reason so that's added to my totals. Also redeemed £25 from survey sites today too. Remembered to use topcashback for purchases so far and nectar points and have asked him to add my tesco keyfob onto his keys for scanning when he goes off to tesco in future.

    As Christmas is near enough taken care of already, I'm aiming to get as many vouchers towards Christmas food. We want an M&S Christmas this year so best get saving, we have £40 vouchers set aside already, and I think the drink will take care of itself thanks to tesco.

    I thought I should rediscover maximiles as I usually cannot be bothered with the surveys and was quite surprised that it wasn't too many points to redeem. I'm at around 800 without making an effort and 3000 for a voucher but the gifts seem good too, might have to cosider a magazine subscription too :)

    Well done on your money making everyone and welcome all newcomers :wave: lovely to see new recruits on board for a money neutral Christmas.

    Sorry not posted the past few days, seemt o be busy doign nothing at all.

    did have a nice chunk of change, well almost £300 from tax credits for last year which i was owed, so used it to pay off some debts, I also made just over £35 off ebay and amazon sales, which i have paid off some debt too.

    I love this months challenges. I have been neglecting T'looney, and survey network and Op world so i think i will pledge to do all of those as they will be handy for xmas and birthday gifts.

    The home made fathers day card is fab too - my 2 year old is just starting contact with her dad in the states, so I think I may do a hand print card and post it to him.

    already done 2 surveys already today need to do a few more to make another £1 to have make todays challenge - lookign forward to this month, feeling very positive

    There's me, cha97michelle, clairylulu, rufusd!!!2, we go under the same username as here. Pink what's your username now hun? I've forgotten. There may be a couple more. Anyone who does DooU shout out now. :D



    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. :D

    Hi Elysia no it didn't sound rude :) We have got about £80 in vouchers so far that we could cash in so we are happy to keep doing the suveys. I asked because when you gave the £2.50 a day challenge you mentioned inc surveys and other people have mentioned they have done their surveys for the day so that is their £2.50 made. I just wondered how they knew by doing a piney survey they had made their money or part of it for the day ?? Does that make sense, sorry if not. :)

    dingdong: most of the survey sites I do the surveys have a money value (eg 75p) there is only one I do that is points which is TL. As its 80000 for a £15 redeem I would say 1,000 points approx equals 18.75p (as 18.75 x 80 = 1500p which is £15)
