Wow legend your doing so well at the moment. I had a couple of tests last month, some hair spray and some dog chews. I didnt try the chews lol but the dog liked them.

LOL Rufus.

Thanks Legend - you're a star!

Mooloo - Sorry to hear you are a bit down. I hope things perk up for you. You're doing well sticking at it, instead of giving up. You will be surprised, sometimes you seem to be getting nowhere, and then all of a sudden, you'll be redeeming left right and centre. It's worth it in the end, but trouble is, you have to start all over again.

Yes Elysia - I agree with that about you feeling you are getting nowhere but then it all falls into place. Sometimes the surveys dont come into your account for a few weeks after you have taken them as they are waiting for the project to finish before paying up, but then they might all pay up at the same time and you check your account and you have gone up by loads. Its lovely when that happens.

The garland sounds lovely Mooloo. You have just made something click in my brain reading what you said about a book, I have a book upstairs somewhere that I bought years ago and I mean year ago when my eldest two were little lol, it shows you how to make things for the home. I will go and get it a bit later if I can find it and it will give me something to look through tonight. I might find something to make out of it for my shop. Did you see the pics on my blog of the bags my grandsons made? Thanks for the fabric xx

I havent done any more surveys this afternoon as none available but am just about to go and check my opinion on T to see if I had any comments on it.

I have sewing books going back years, to the 1980's and maybe earlier. Although in moving have lost a few over the years. I have even got old copies of Prima from then too!
I used to spend hours looking through my patterns to see what I could make. The bags and the things I do now, are all new to me, it was always clothes or mending for me really.
I will go and look at the blogs. I havent really been following lately. I am sure I will catch up eventually.
I am pleased you got the fabrics ok, and if there is anything else I have lurking I will help when I can.

Oooh whats the best site for product testing? I saw the links on the first post but cant decide which one to try out? Saying that, why dont I just sign up to all of them?!!

elysia2003

Nat - I agree - just sign up to all of them. LOL. I get them mostly from T(oluna), Bzzz, Ips(os) and MyS(urvey). There are more too.

I've had nappies, sweetener, margarine, washing powder and conditioner, lots of crisps, breakfast cereal, pastry, toothpaste etc. What I really wanted (OH really) was the 3D TV and an Ipad. :rotfl:

S&S - oooh i oughta - - I had to let the company romote assist on my computer, IE it crashed, FF it crashed, but with google Chrome, when they did it through my comp the barcodes up loaded on google chrome, all was well, so i thought i would scan my shopping from yesterday to see if it would work for me, and no such luck. They wont transmit, arghh looks like i will be callign them again tomorrow, but at least one set f codes have registered, and i managed to upload a pic of my reciept

Thanks Elysia.

A quick question for anyone really. What is Ipsos like? I signed up to it long before i was serious about surveys and often get emails through for surveys which i just ignore. I just wondered if it is worth doing thought I might give it a proper go if any of you have had good results with it.

I find ipsos really reliable personally, have had a steady stream of vouchers from them. They are very fair and give you 10 points even if you don't qualify.

Onepoll don't seem to like people without children so I keep getting screened out :rotfl:
