    Right, I am going to pledge:

    I will up my reviews from 35 to 45.

    I will meal plan to use up some of the food stockpile we have in the house rather than buy more, and try to spend as little as possible over August (not including food we buy on hols though.) I set a budget of £100 max for what works out as just about 3 weeks.

    I will focus mainly on reviews, but I will also try to remember maximiles, toluna, GTM and survey network as I think I could get a payout on all of them in August if I try.

    ETA - I pick cornish chick to come up with September's challenge, as being a relative newbie she might think differently to the rest of us and help us see something in a new way.

    Thanks for the new challenge Elysia. I will stick to 15 reviews, will review some parts of my holiday and some of my toiletries before the end of August - I really need to be in the zone to review and I'm still in holiday mode ;)

    I pledge to push myself on TL, YG, OW, VO and Viva this month as they are my best payers. I have already claimed £20 paypal this morning so a good start to this months coffers :j

    Cheers for the swagcode Michelle :D

    Good luck for August everyone!

    Just got a washing machine review up on chow. It got me crown of the day, so I am definitely going to pace myself this month and go for quality and not quantity. I will see how it goes, but I am thinking a week at least to get good ratings. Two Es already. :money:



    I keep looking to see if I have had a response to my email and if they have chosen winners to the comp, but nay to both. My F5 button will probably quit in protest. :rotfl:

    I may not have had an email back about Mrs Unoriginal but I think it might have got noticed. 4 prizes for 5 reviews, and only one person didn't get one. Phew.

    Congrats Elysia. :D Pat on the back for me and thee :dance:I guess I might have made my point. :D:D:D:D

    Thanks for the code, I'm usually too late but that one has just worked for me :D

    I'm glad the copycat didn't get the reward and that they seem to be taking it seriously. Hopefully that should stop her now.

    Evening all!

    I pledge to do the £2.50 a day challenge from tomorrow! I also pledge to make more of an effort with T and any sites that payout in Argos vouchers! I will also start meal planning and writing a list and sticking to it when shopping!

    Right off to check what I have missed all day!
