    Yes I have heard of it rufusdog. Personally I haven't bought from it but my sister who I am close to has and it was fine. She recieved her dress from there quite quickly.

    Hope you dont mind me going off topic but does anyone know a site called boohoo which sells ladies clothes? YD has seen a prom dress on there she would like but I havent heard of it before.


    Be wary. While i have been Ciao-ing like a looney for the past month and a bit there are a lot of people saying that it is shoddy. Take your money, but then don't send the goods and you can't get in touch with the customer service people to get a refund. I personally would not bother as it seems so common, but if someone can come in and say they bought from them and they were ok you might be ok. Hard to know whether people are just ranting, but there were a fair few of them if that was all it was. Would hate to see you lose out.

    Elysia so glad you got the £5. Well done.

    Congratulations on winning review of the month Elysia. :T

    Achieved £2.50 target yesterday and today. Yesterday printed off Lenor £1 and Ariel £2 vouchers from SSM. Today made VO £1.50 and £1.25 MM. I've kept up with my pledge to do 2Luna sponsored polls on a daily basis.

    There is a music festival poll on [EMAIL="M@ximiles"]M@ximiles[/EMAIL] homepage for 5 points.

    Thanks michelle and claire, I thought may be the dresses were a bit shoddy seeing the prices, probs a bit like Primark stuff. She has a lovely dress already which is similar to the ones on there but expensive but she has decided she wants a topless one and the one she has has got straps. Kids !!

    Well done Mum2one - How did you manage that? LOL.

    I did go and check after I saw your post, and I jumped up 10,000 so maybe they credited a whole batch. Well done on your redeem. There's always something else on the list to buy isn't there? It seems never ending. :(

    I need to smash my terramundi money box today - I'm going with my sisters to Rome next June. Only for the weekend, and although I've been saving for 18 months, I've only been putting in a £10 note in here and there. She reckons it'll be around £300 plus spending money, when she was going to book it the other day. I need to see how much I need to save in the next year. :eek:

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Monring all

    Elysia - the prom is in July, She has a really lovely dress already which someone gave her, its brand new, white with black flowers like a 50s style with the flarey skirt, it looks lovely on her, fits like a dream. Think it must have been expensive when it was bought as its really well made. I still have to pay for ticket which is £25 plus shoes and accesories so dont really want to pay out more money just for sake of it as cant afford it. I have put the money away for the other bits but havent got enough for a new dress really.

    I have done a SN survey this morning for 75p and have two items selling tonight so thats my £2.50 done. I have had two NV surveys in last two days and didnt qualify for either. I only need about £5 for redeem.

    Just thought i would report in that in the first 7 days of June, i have made £45.13 from all our different places, which is averaging £6.45 a day. Just goes to show what we can achieve girls, and it is not to be sniffed at.

    Slow morning so far. Done a SNW one for 75p, OP appears to be down. I'm going to check tol now after seeing above posts. I'm due a voucher again, and i am pretty sure they have added some credits this week as mine was up by about 5k points yesterday.
