    Just had an email from Viva to sign up to another panel called Synovate Global Panels? Payout is at £5. Just wondering if anyone had joined them or heard of them? I have just signed up thought it was worth a shot just waiting on email confirmation!
    Made my money today as meeting people to sell my stuff I put on Facebook! £27! Nice one!

    Oh and in the post had my Argos voucher from S&S and 1 of the Orange Pre paid cards from Grabbit, has £5 on! Typical it would be the one in OH's name!

    I do that one - i haven't been with it long, got about 2400 points and you need 9000 for a fiver. Surveys don't take long, but i have only had one product test - the soap powder i got last week. Big brand 20 wash box.

    Rufus - my OH is the same, but when he see's the vouchers coming in - he shuts up. He used to think I was just messing on the computer, but now he knows I'm working, so to speak.

    I've been on synovate for a while - hardly ever get any surveys through. :( It was one of the first I joined when started money making almost two years ago, and have never cashed out. If the others are getting good results, Legend/Pink, it's got to be worth a try. ;)Edited to Add: I joined 26th June 2009 and cashed out once, I'm half way to another, so £7.50 in two years. :(

    I checked Ciao and mine has gone up from £5.70 to £17.25, so I'm quite pleased with that. It wouldn't be worth me keeping up, unless I can figure a way of getting some of the reviews I've done on DooU on Ciao. Michelle - you're the expert. :) I've tried to make the suggestion for Chatman. Nothing comes up for it, Could you have a go and let me know if you can do it please? There are several reviews I'm stuck trying to get on Cia but can't do it - there must be another way, that I don't know of. :(

    My parcel just arrived - two packets, one for this week and one for next. It came in the biggest box available, and is filled with ice packs and loads of polystyrene. I'll keep that for packing my ebay stuff later. :)

    Right, off to the PO again, (late payer), and so will get stuck into surveys when I get back.

    See you all later.

    Hardly an expert, but i am finding my way round as i have been on there a fair bit.

    put your item in the search box at the top.

    I tried for chatman and it isn't in there, but shows some adverts for ebay. There is a purple hyperlink on the right hand side of the screen about 2/3 of the way up that says report a new item. It will ask you to give it suggest a suitable category like DY do, but the difference with ciao is if you add a new item, you can also write your review then so that when you add your product your review appears at the same time.

    Sometimes when i have gone to add a new product i have looked a little further down the screen and they suggest reviews with similar names and i have been able to find what i wanted to review that way.

    Hope that explains it. If not, i will try again.

    Enjoy the pastry. x


    ETA - i don't think we will get rich from synnovate, but the freebies could be good doing the product testing. I'm sticking with it till one pay out at least.

    Thanks Michelle - you're a star, but nope, there is no hyperlink to suggest this product for me. :( I've tried several times. It's happened on a few of my better reviews, which is a shame, as I think they'd do well.

    It is small, and it is hard to spot. The ebay adds are in a bit under a red bit of writing that says shopping on the left hand side. It is level with this on the opposite side of the page.


    ETA - if you still have problems later i can add it for you then forward you the email to type in your review perhaps, if i can work it out. Lol. We'll get there. Not offering before the kiddies go to bed though as youngest is being a little booger again today.

    knit I asked OH what he plans to do this week and when he plans to return to work and he said he will see what the gp says on Friday. in my opinion the gp will ask if he is ready and leave the decision up to him. I suggested he ought to talk to someone school related and he said yes but who knows when that will be. sorry to hear you had problems too - you did have a few other things to deal with too

    I had the email from viva to join synovate so joined today. will see how it goes

    I received my orange pre paid card today. OH did too

    amazon vouchers are now back on VO so I am starting to rebuild my account on amazon after 'selling' my others to OH

    I have a mystery shop tomorrow and am a bit nervous:eek: it is the first I have done with this company. it doesn't even pay very much either!

    I have half an hour's teaching on a Tuesday, got there today and they had gone on a school trip and hadn't thought to tell me:mad: so that was a waste of time,petrol and parking money

    hope everyone has had a good day

    Well done cornish chick!

    I'm a bit lost in all your conversations tbh, I don't do ciao as I'm way too confused with it all. In fact I'm falling behind a fair bit with the money making, and I could really do with a money injection with all the things going wrong lately.

    Right time to think positive, things must get better from here so off in search of surveys...
