STEPMUM!!! You just made me heave! Bleurgh that is just plain URRR!

Stepmum - Erghhh Yuk. Mind you I do know someone who's like that - OH. :eek:

Great results everyone - you're all doing so well. Stepmum you are too, despite what you think - imagine if you didn't have the Christmas money you'd saved put away, what would things be like then? You've still got six months and every penny helps. You just do what you need to do for now.

I did the challenge yesterday despite not coming on later - Earned £18.50 on one item on ebay that didn't sell last time. I wouldn't mind but last time, I put it on BIN for £5, but put it on for 99p this time.

I also had a piney, and quite a few other surveys, but didn't tot them up.

I've not done too bad today, although I've been screened out of about £10 worth of surveys - Don't they know I could have done with them? :rotfl:

It's been quiet on here today - I hope everyone is OK. See you later.

Hi elysia. So sorry. I posted on the other thread the other day. No wonder I could not track back to my last post here lol.

We have ditched one car and gone down to one car between us all. Which hubby takes to work. Hence I am now walking every where with the kids. Hope it shifts some of the chubb off me. I have reached 15 st. That is just silly. I am 5ft6 so not massive but a lot bigger than I use to be.

Just claimed a tesco voucher from VO for Tesco. Used one from my Xmas fund for my stepdad on fathers day. I had no idea what to get him. So feel like I am down a tenner now.

I am feeling really torn between concentrating on my crafts and organising them and earning on line. I find I am so whittly about it I don't do enough of either.

Very quiet on here today.

Yuck, yuck, yuck stepmum that is disgusting made me chuckle though!

Well done on the eBay sale elysia. Having a bad day today money making wise. Don't seem to have any surveys just doing rubbish. Not made the £2.50 yet. Done another review on dy so will hopefully get a bit there.

Hope everyone else is having a good day.

I am so annoyed with Ciao, I tried to log in 2 days ago to have a message appear to say my account had been suspended, so i emailed them to get an email the next day, to say it was breach of terms and conditions, other explanations, so I emailed again asking for clarification, to say i had copied a review, again nothing else said, So I emailed back to ask which review, can they clarify, to which they sent another email just stating what thy had sent before.

So this morning i emailed asking for clarification, as all my reviews are my won, and I want to know which review are they referring too, to which i just got this reply

"Dear Sharon,

Your account is active again. We would like to express our deepest apologies for this inconvenience.

In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,"

again no explanation - nothing - very annoyed. Plus it made me feel real crap, and I have not posted on here, because I felt really bad. makes me not want to post on there now

Knit - thats not nice is it, did you have one that was on DY and Chow? may be they saw it on both and got a but humpty until they checked it out and realised they were both yours.

Still nothing on T on the sponsored polls, just signed in and only one poll, something strange happening there.

Only have one sale tonight and no surveys so crap day money wise although ExMil gave me two black sacks full of tops, most from Bon Marche that I can either have for myself or sell on (havent told her about selling them). Even if I only get 99p plus postage would be better than nothing. I will have a good sort out tomorrow and see whether I want them all or not.

Might try a DY review for a bit while OH is doing the housework lol.

Rufusdog - yes I had the surveys on both - what got me was the abruptness of their emails and even though I have asked they have still not given me an explanation - ahh well

anyway I have sold a book on Amazon today for £4.14 after postage I will prob make the £2.50 mark

just got an email that there is a £1 survey on viva

Don't let them get you down Knit. I had a heart attack too today. One minute i was looking and my balance was nearly £25, and then the next it was zero and saying i had written no reviews at all. Maybe they have gremlins?

Poor customer service definitely, but don't let them deny you an earning opportunity.

Will have to check out Viva later. I am so hot and sweaty after spring cleaning my bedroom earlier i need a shower, so i am going to have one and then bath the kids. That way i might end up in bed at a decent time tonight.

Kirsty – that’s excellent about the make-up workshop, good for you.

Clairey – don’t worry, I’m also put to shame by the huge money making that goes on here! I aim low and then I’m not disappointed J Some people’s monthly totals are my yearly aim as that’s all I’ve got time to do, but it will still be a huge help at Christmas (especially with a brand new baby for us this year!)

Legend – I also got 2 books from the Radox freebies. I got the Ukranian tractor one ages ago, then about a month ago I got Got you back’. I didn’t think it was my type of book at all, but I read the first page and couldn’t put it down!

Stepmum – well done on winning the talent show, and EWWWWWW at the bird poo story! How could anyone do that, surely it could make you ill?!

I definitely didn’t make my £2.50 yesterday as I went to bed so early! I was exhausted after work so went to bed shortly after DS. Hopefully today will be a bit better.


I had my scan today !! Everything is fine and there is only 1 baby. They have changed my due date to 27th December, so getting even closer to Christmas! I'll have to buy it a Christmas present just in case :rotfl:
