    Right, I scattymam1 pledge that today i will make 2.50 in surveys, and tonight i will list on ebay and facebook. I need to get rid of my bathroom bill, i give myself until 25th july to make 500 quid, i thought if i can put it on my signature on here then it might give me the motivation i need to just get on with it x. Then when i get rid of that bill i can concentrate on being money neutral for christmas.
    The kids are watching a film already so i have the time to start...dd has a party this afternoon, the party girl is getting something out the pressie drawer and i'm going to walk dd there to save on petrol. Tomorrow we are going to a car boot, mil is driving us there so that saves on petrol. Then i'm on the lookout for batman stuff for my nephew. His mam, my sil, is ok with him getting something from a car boot for his birthday, think she wants a car for him but she's like me and doesn't want to pay full price for one. So excited to see if i can get him something. I already ordered him some batman books off amazon that were cheap.
    Right off to survey til my fingers drop off x
    Who's joining me, let's go...;-)

    Ok so 2 hours later, one chld is dressed, i'm on the second load of washing this morning and i've done two surveys, one was a piney about to run out, so got 3 quid for that and an ipsos which works out at about a quid, so that's 4 pounds already, i've beaten my target and it's only mid morning, it's amazing what you can do when u kick yourself up the derriere. I think i'll try and double my 2.50 target. Note: i am seriously behind on surveys so thats why my totals today may be quite high, i envisage when they are uptodate my daily totals will drop. Ipsos has two more surveys for me :-) very pleased...oops, edit...screened out of those two, but got 30 points for the trouble.

    Just tried it, but they must be ones you haven't done anyway as there is nothing there for me. I had to look through my deleted mails to find it. I always delete when i have done and it is credited.

    Well goodness me! Has the world ended or have you all decided to have a party and not invite me?! Where are you ladies????

    I have just put in to withdraw £20.00 from Survey Ntwrk!!! Woohoo! First withdrawal from there and has taken 6 months but I havent been consistent with it if I am honest! Hopefully get another £20 before the year is out!

    Made my money for today, done some surveys and saved a bomb in tesco with the whole 50% off ladieswear and the glitch on multibuys! I am loving June! Its the best month of the year so far! Hope you are all enjoying whatever you are doing and hopefully June is looking as good for you guys as it is for me!!!

    Off to the bath now with a glass of Blue wkd! Night all! xxx

    There have not been a lot of surveys around today, so i will need to get on and write a new review i think.

    Legendmum I am about to have my 2nd payout with survey n.work since January. Like you i was a bit hit and miss at first, but i am in a routine now of twice a day working through the 4 surveys in the email and it is now adding up. I think you have to do it this way really as i find i might not qualify for one at all one day, but might get 2 the next day. The consistency definitely helps. This latest cash out is since April, so i am happy if it works out about £10 per month for me.

    I have managed to get on a lot better with swagbucks too since a couple of you followed my referrals. I have just cashed out another £5 today, and i got £6.97 last month too as i did one x $5 (£2.97 via paypal) and also one £5 amazon voucher. So thanks for that.

    Hi everyone,

    Have been home two and half hours, and have worked my way through 50 surveys in my inbox.

    Yesterday I earned £1.00 VO before I left home. Wifi was available only in first class on the train, so couldn't do any there, and wifi was available to purchase in the hotel for £5 an hour - so I wasn't going to pay £5 to earn less than that, most likely, on surveys, so I'll put the fiver in my pot.

    Todays surveys i've earnt - £1.80 Panelbse, 40p crowdlgy, £1 opiniom, 5p pure prof, 10p OP, £2 Populis. 175 Ips. - £5.25 in total.

    I haven't caught up with posts I've missed so I'll catch up and see how everyone's getting on, tomorrow.

    BTW - Take That was awesome. :D See you all tomorrow xxx

    i am finding i am just getting used to SN too, and working through the email has helped me get into a routine.

    Yes I keep checking the SN surveys, most days I manage to do one. Some days two or even three. Havent got any surveys this morning and none of my Ebay things have bids for tonight yet. Hopefully something will come up later on as wont be on much this morning, have a roast dinner to get cooking and a couple other jobs to do before the tennis starts.

    :T I've been enjoying it, have been qualifying for surveys on it the last few days so hope to be able to redeem in the not-too-distant future.

    Got my £50 YG cheque in, very happy indeed :D

    Have started doing the email update on DY that tells you which friends have posted new reviews, this is much easier to keep on top of new ones as a lot of the people I follow seem to not write very often.

    I've got quite lazy with WH type stuff, esp since the change to claiming level!

    Have a few clothes that I might list on ebay - how do people get on selling adult clothes? It's stuff that's only been worn once or twice but I've been losing weight so it's too big now.
