Haha Michelle - What took you so long? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've posted my pic. I even figured out how to get the logo on it - ohh get me.

Michelle - you've got the luck of the Irish lately, so I'm just following behind you hoping some of it rubs off.

Morning Ladies! Hit my target already today as had a Piney this morning! So £3 for today so far! I have just checked TCB and I have £70 waiting to clear and once that has I think I will put it towards new furniture for Living Room. Its going to cost £150 for me to get storage and shelving under the stairs so thats my next mission! Checked Amazon last night and I have 149.19 thats without the £15 in process from Surveyhead!!! So think I really need to choose some other payout forms on some sites! Right off on a survey hunt!

Edited to add what a DIPSTICK I am! Just had a survey from IPSOS for 500 points and I stupidly clicked the wrong button when it asked do you agree not to disclose info about this survey I said no so it ended it!!! ARGH!

Morning guys.

Hope we are all well. Do you do shopandscan Legend? I don't know if they still pay out in Argos. Soon adds up too on there.

And to Elysia, Do you really think it is luck hon? I am more inclined to think we are spotting opportunities and then working at it. After all, the odds of winning 1 of 4 prizes with 5 entries can't be that high. I think there were only 10 or 11 in the fortnightly one. I just think I do the right amount of sucking up in the right places, I write well enough, and I'm not in one of the cliques of pettiness, so I do tend to just fit in with everyone. Universal appeal. I don't really believe that much in luck. Now if you said Karma, yes, I believe what goes around comes around, and I am nice enough to deserve a bit of good karma.

I got 4 swagcodes in the end last night. I gave up after the TV one and went to bed in the interests of winding down and did sleep better. Sis is coming today, so I might not get a lot done till tonight.

I also wanted to thank everyone for looking after my SIL. She is definitely finding her feet and improving in confidence, so I really appreciate all those who took time out on my behalf to help. :A

Thanks Michelle and Elysia for the double act

Morning everyone, lovely day again today with clear skies and lots of sunshine

Caught up with the survey sites, not far off payout on most of them, does anyone know where you find your pending credits on VO, or have they taken off that bit? I'm sure I had some outstanding and did two £2 surveys over the last few days but can't see anywhere to view the credits to be added.

Have have looked back to see which sites made most money with least effort, sony and viva are up there so I will be concentrating on thoses, I'm giving it a big push this month as next month we will be doing lots of spending.

Need to order a laptop today, but I'm sure I can save a fair bit of money on that then I can get listing on the bay again.

Legend - S&S. MS and VO do argos vouchers, I'm not sure about the others though. I find the S&S ones mount up quickly for such little work, have two vouchers to claim, think they will be going on pc world vouchers.

Happy to oblige Nicky

One shiny hat. Whoop. Still early though, so we'll see. I was hoping my medibee one would get one as I really went to town on that one. Just shows you never know. I'm kind of hoping I get one more as I now have unlucky 13. :rotfl::eek:

Well done on the crown Michelle - I rated that one today, as I must have missed it somehow. I do believe you're right about working hard and being making the most of any opportunity - I was just joking about having the luck hun.

Your SIL writes really well - so It's a pleasure to read her work. I nominated her review she posted last night it was brilliant. I've got a similar kettle and have some of the same issues with mine - I might try and do that one later.

I posted another review on DooU last night/ this morning at 2.30. I must be mad - I'm only 24p off my cheque now, so I hope (fingers crossed) to get there today.

Savvy - was it a laptop you were after or a netbook? There was a good deal on a netbook from Carphone Warehouse on the Grabbit in the past week. People were buying several each for pressies.

Well done Legend - on meeting your target. It's great when you have something to aim for, it makes it easier to focus.

Nicky - did you post a photo hun? Only takes a couple of minutes. If you use photoscape, you can get the dooyoo logo on the photo.

After the reminder about shop and scan on Sunday - I still forgot to do it, so I sent them both yesterday morning. I was too late for the photo one though, as I received the same email Bunbun got last week, saying I'd missed out. Don't they try and rub it in? Pity though, I'm only 400 points off redeem. Oh well, there's always next week.

Morning all

I spent the morning on T, did all the quick polls, did an opinion and wrote on lots of others. I didnt have any surveys today that I qualified for.

I will try to get another DY review done later on if I can.

I was up early, so warm last night. I went in and did some more sewing at 6 this morning lol. Have three shopping bags nearly ready for the shop. They just need some hand sewing done on them later on tonight. Going to have some lunch and then get on with some more sewing and try to get some more bits finished off up there.

Well done on the reviews, not far to go now Elysia!

I'm looking for a laptop hun, my netbook needs a new screen so should only cost £30 to replace when I get around to ordering it and fixing it. Was thinking of getting a dell from pc world but oh has been sayng how awful dell are, ironically I was thinjking of getting him a new netbook for his birthday but the grabbit was dell so that was a no go. Expansys have some netbooks around £120-£160 on clearance at the moment, less than half price and better specs. Laptop hunt continues though...

elysia2003

Our first two laptops were Dell, and couldn't fault them. Where they used to be superb, they have really lowered their quality of late, and I've heard them being nothing but trouble, so you were probably right not to get one Savvy. I didn't realise it was Dell - I didn't take too much notice, not being in the market for one myself just yet.

I hope you manage to find something soon.



I've just done a £2 NV so £4 to go to redeem, on there.
