Thats ok Legend, I have had a look through all the ones I think are on here who have open topics that need help.

Elysia has one on 18 so she only needs three on that one. Michelle has one open on 10, Susan has one on 20 so she only needs 1 more on that one, not sure if there are any others on there who post regularly on here these days. Might help if we can give each other a push for this month xx

Helping each other out is a good idea Rufus. Remember when we did that towards the beginning of the year? It really boosted our points and got us to payout much quicker.
I think I'll have a look at people's older topics as well in case there's any of them that are needing a boost. I have a couple that are close if anyone would be kind enough to add a comment - one about cake recipes and an older one (not on my front page) about Mother's Day gifts

I always forget Toluna. Must try harder with that one.

I just ordered some bits off amazon using up my vouchers. A couple of computer games to put away, a slushie mug for each kid for the remainder of the summer, and then a computer cable I needed. So nice when it is all 'free'.

going to be going out in a bit with the kids and my sister, so I will definitely spend some time on tolly tonight. DH is working, so no excuse not to.

Just received my capital bonds voucher from IPSOS and I didnt realise how many places it can get spent! Definately always have them as payout from there now! Have done a new poll and opinion on Tol and will definately have a good look on there later and do all of the above opinions! Right off to buy DS's first school t shirt and jumper! So scary!!!

Legend - It's scary, they grow up too fast! My ips vouchers arrived too.

Knit - I don't work so I should be fine. I hope Nicky won't mind me saying this - I'm using her as for an example - as she works, she doesn't have the time to put into it, and so doesn't get so many redeems, so it wouldn't make too much difference if you see what I mean. You should be ok.

I did see details on the Mystery shopping thread, perhaps, if you're worried, you should take a look.

Rufus: Thanks so much for pointing mine out - I promise to make time for T over the weekend. I'm going shopping now, and I need to write some more reviews, and it'll be Viva and surveys again this afternoon I hope. I only need £1 to redeem on Viva.

Nicky - Well done on your review - we need one on the castle itself now.

Well done Michelle on your Amazon purchases. I was looking last night, to treat myself to a Jam making cookbook - I just added a couple to my wishlist - I'll choose later.


I'm at 13/25 on DooU, but have done 20 on Ciao. Getting there slowly and surely.

Off now - I'm running late. See you all later

Just a couple of quick questions for all the ebay sellers:

When is the best time to start putting my son's winter clothes on to sell. Going to do them in bundles and hope to get a little bit for them anything is a bonus.

When is the best time to put children's toys on. I know it is best to do it for the xmas buyers but when does this start

elysia2003

Claire - I'm no expert but in my opinion the end of September/end of Oct would be best for both. By that time the kids have got all their school uniforms (which make people skint) and people are thinking about winter and Christmas, with only two or three months to go :eek: - also try and time it so it falls payday (ish), so ending around 25th to 30th, or so.

I hope that helps.

I have done both your old ones Nicky, I have done the other one already xx

Just checked Viva - nothing new yet!

NickyBo_2

Rufus - thanks

Claire - I've been wondering the same thing recently. My son has far too many toys and doesn't really play with quite a few of them. With the new baby on the way I was hoping to make a bit of space so might have a clear out this holiday. Then I can gradually start writing up the descriptions and taking photos (it takes me ages!) and I should be ready to list them all in Sept/Oct. If I leave it until then to stat thinking about it then I know it won't happen as I'll be too busy then

Elysia - thanks for the advice about Ebay, I'd never thought about having items end on common paydays! Hehe, I've just seen you made an example of me . I think that's right about the tax thing, although I do pay tax because I work, I doubt I earn enough through surveys etc to need to pay any extra. For the people that put more time into it and earn far more, I think they'd still be below the threshold for having to pay tax. Just my thoughts though, not based on any real information!

Sorry Nicky - that's what I meant - did it not sound that way? I know what I'm trying to say in my head - it just comes out wrong.

I've just looked at my emails, I'd been busy doing other things since teatime. I had loads of surveys and got screened out of all of them. I'm taking it, no more surveys popped up on Viva? I'll go and check, and let you all know if there's any.
