    Maybe this is a silly question, but do you visit each of these survey sites every day, or do you wait for an email inviting you to do them? Maybe thats where I go wrong? I really am not too hot on these things. Seem to do some that dont seem to be rewarding me for anything.? I will really have to sort myself out on this lot. But it wont be today I am afraid. Far too much to do, and hadnt realised the time already. Health Visitor coming to do her LAC Review paperwork on DGD. So I need to be up and dressed, not sitting here in my dressinggown with the washing up still to be tackled from last night and DGD unusually is still asleep. Mind you she was tired last night.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Mooloo - I just typed a big reply and lost it. :( When I get a minute, I'll write it in Word and post it on here again. :)

    It would be great info for the first post of the thread, so thanks for asking. :)

    I would contact Ips again, and ask. I hope they are better than T. I've had one lot of vouchers go missing. I contacted them weeks ago, but nothing.

    Here's the challenge:


    Challenge No 6 – June 2011


    1. Take the oath – Promise you will complete every survey on so and so site. Whatever site it is, is up to you. If you’re struggling with any one imparticular, make it that one, OR if one is sending you quite a lot lately, make it that. It’s your choice.


    Fill in the blanks. I, .................................. do solemnly declare to partake in every survey sent to me by....................................... , until the end of the month.


    2. Pay the forfeit – Earn £2.50 a day by any means possible – using vouchers while shopping, surveys, writing reviews, eBay sales spread out over the week, etc. However you like to do it is ok. If by the end of the evening, you haven’t earned at least £2.50, you put 50p in your savings account.


    3. Remember Quidco! I don’t know about you, but I seem to have got out of the habit of using Quidco/TCB when I’m making a small purchase, thinking, oh it’s only pennies. That could be why my payments have gone drastically down. Make sure you use cash back sites for EVERY online payment, and don’t forget your reward cards in store. You’ll soon see the benefit.


    4. It’s Father’s Day this month – instead of buying cards, either you made them, or gets the kids to do it. They are more special then, and the price of some of them in the shops, is astronomical. Don’t go out and buy tonnes of card and stuff, see what you can make from what you have at home. Granddads will treasure a card off the Grandkids, the more glitter the better :D.

    elysia - piney takes ages to post product test and if your accepted and type i agree it`ll turn up. .lol

    right for all you peeps with problems posting things on blogs, shop and scan etc and using ie9 . If you open up Internet explorer, goto tools on the bar below address line. (Tools is on the toolbar, make sure its showing)

    Click on tools,
    in drop down box go down to "compatibility view settings"
    click on it
    and add the website your having difficulty with , it should then work.

    money making seems to be going well, well done everyone.
    I`m waiting on payout from TCB

    and i have 4 product tests....the cone, bumbee, luny, and another i have to wait for them to email cos i dont know who i`m doing it for. lol

    Managed a review on DY and Ciao today, I find ciao harder to navigate, especially rating others, and it really puts me off posting on their.
    thanks for the tip Susan , will give that a go, i think i did that on google Chrome yesterday but will try it on IE too

    With Piney, they only select a few people to do the product tests, I have been with them a long long time and done loads of those 'I AGREE' surveys and have only ever received one product test! however I have been with clix research just over a month and have had five product tests - I love it :)

    Computer back up and running today so I can get on with some serious money making and catching up, and I am nearly up to date with my uni course so I'm able to relax a bit today.

    Think I have had three days so far that I haven't made the £2.50 target but ironically my total so far this month beats all previous months totals and we are only half way through, will add £3 to the christmas pig for the three days I missed the target (I'm adding £1 instead of 50p to encourage me more lol).

    Me and dd have sorted father's day but got the free cards from FP, but they messed the first card up so I had to order a second one, so the first one we are going to get the paints and crayons out and make a work of art for daddy :)

    Hope you all have a great money making day :)

    Knit - might be an idea to contact your buyer and tell them you are waiting for the echeque to go through before you post. I had one a while ago and it took two weeks to clear and then on the day it finally cleared and had a snotty email from the person saying they couldnt believe I had waited two weeks to post their item when they had proof it had been paid on such a such date which was when they first thought they had paid. Luckily I havent had another one but I will contact them if I do a may be they dont realise it will take so long. My OH has a Paypal account and when he pays through it it takes weeks to clear so he uses mine now when he is buying something.

    I had four sales last night, came to about £9 worth and I have two tonight for a couple of quid. I have done one SN survey this morning so past my £2.50.

    Checked T this morning, only had 7 peeps on my opinion so that didnt work lol. Might have to go and do some more on others later on after dinner is cooked. My points have gone up by 4000 though so some projects must have closed. just need another 6000 to redeem.
