skiergirl : as the others have said we will be thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts your way.

Well I got my 15 things listed on ebay. Took advantage of it being free listing and put everything on for a few pounds. No problem if they dont sell will just put them on for 99p when they finish. Got them on 10 day listing so will finish a week on tuesday.

Well done Giggles. Hope it all sells now.

Just wrote an email to chow. Basically I wrote an review for their competition this morning. I just noticed that another member has used my review and someone else's review to get the ideas together to write their own one. I am a bit cross to be honest. All I can do is complain I guess, and not bother reading/rating that member again.

This is the downside to doing this isn't it.

Well Duw Duw! Where are you all???? I have just made a lethal mistake! Got the new Argos catalogue and now I want everything in it! I want to re-furnish my whole house, well maybe not the kitchen, but everywhere else! God damn you Argos! Looks like I will be requesting Argos vouchers from all sites from now on! I have done all my Sony points so am now up to date on everything except S&S so once that has uploaded I have done all I can for the month of July!

I've kept checking in and not seeing anyone legend so not posting. I'm trying to make the most of chow's last day of the promotion. I think Emma is too. Elysia's about over there too.

I need to do S and s photo, so thanks for the reminder. I had a survey for 50p from them on Friday too.

I also need to work out end of month totals, which are nowhere near last month unfortunately, but next month's is already looking good with what I have requested.

Lol at you with the argos book. I used to do that a lot. I tend not to look in there now very often. Book of dreams eh? It's like when I see it I know I need it, whereas I didn't before. I do that with reviews too.

Legend - thanks for the reminder about s&s. Have you done the tissue one?

I went to the shops but forgot to pick up my catalogue. Durrrr. I'm hopeless. Mind you I did have a sneak peak online yesterday but the site was so slow. DD wanted a Monster High lunch bag, I told her to wait until the new book came out as it might be in there, but it wasn't; so I ordered it off ebay from America. She's costing me a fortune being off school.

Sorry to hear about Chow Michelle - I hope you get a reply soon.

Giggles - well done on the listings - I hope they are successful for you.

End of the month is here - I'll post my totals in a minute, when I work them out.

Michelle - i must have been typing when you posted. I'm in a dreamworld at the moment - so much to do and so little motivation. I was on Chow this morning, I need to do a couple more reviews this afternoon.

JULY'S TOTALS - A not very impressive £124.60 ~BUT~ I have made a good start to August's - a cheque for DooU is around the corner, and I have a payment of £25 off Chow due. I just hope I can get the last £6 on NV. Anyone need a referral??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just been doing totals, and a little better than I thought, but not that great.

Extra earnings from July: Mysurvey - £6, SB - £8.02, ciao - £24.90, vivatic - £9.80, Bp - £10, ipsos £10, crowdology £4.16, maximiles £10, PC - £3, shop and scan - £10



Total = £95.88


I have taken my eye off a couple of balls to get chow going, and it is showing, but then again, is that better?

I have already requested £50 DY, £72.47 and £5 SB that will come very soon, so August will be better. I have also managed to refer a few people here and there. SNW is 10% i noticed when I have had someone on there doing surveys. I get 8p for every 80p one they do. I'll probably hit payout there soon, but might wait to claim till the end of August.

No response back as yet from chow, but i didn't expect to over the weekend. The person in question sent a message back saying she had no idea what I was talking about. Surprise surprise. I did ask someone else's opinion before I over-reacted, and was told I'm not the first to complain, so please be careful yourselfs not to get the same done to you.

I've just done another 2 items. I am going to do some more in a bit. I can't not. I don't want to have just my reviews on one page though like some others, so I might do a couple more in an hour or two, then see if I can squeeze some in before bed. Currently I am at 24/35 for our challenge, and I wrote 3 book reviews the other night before sending the kids library books back, which were not on DY and I don't want to put on C yet while it is more profitable to do promotion items.

I don't know whether I want them to run a new promotion now next month or not.

There are only 3 entries to the review of the week comp, with 4 prizes of £5, so fingers crossed for me for that tomorrow.
