    There's two more NV surveys on Viva. Be warned though - they are not crediting, but as they did the other weekend, I'm sure they'll be Ok. :)

    Evening.

    Viva has been ok. I did the one from yesterday this afternoon, and my balance went up £1. I then did another 2 this evening, and I noticed my balance didn't increase, which is a bit annoying as I would have been able to get a payout. I hope it clears tomorrow or Friday, otherwise I won't be able to claim it till we come back. So I wouldn't get it until September which would really annoy me.

    Other than that, I think Rufus is right and a few more people are about on DY at least. I have put a review on this afternoon and got 35 rates already. My totals are slowly going up.

    I'm going to do some more surveys now and rating but only till 9 I think as having some wind down time was really good last night.
  • Evening all, hope everyone is staying safe. Police have been patroling round here alot more too, police car on every other road it seems, it is reassuring as I have a feeling it will spread here before too long.

    Been out all day with lil lady so not much in the way of money making, I saved £10 by asking if discount codes could be added to an order after I placed it, didn't think they would but they were lovely and said yes :D

    Sorry to hear about your gift cards Legend, I'm sure they will still work but it's in the terms they are non transferable, ie you can't sell them. I think you have to be careful with ebay and vouchers as it's a known money laundering technique, they put up gift vouchers, they sell for more than the vouchers worth and then the laundered money can move through accounts and seem legit. I know it's not what your doing but ebay sometimes tar everyone with the same brush and I would hate for you to have your ebay/paypal account suspended for something like this.

    Elysia, my course is going well thanks for asking, I am still waiting for the new laptop to arrive to do my next assignment, I have 12 days to complete it and my laptop isn't due for another week. Shant panic but I reckon a few late nights may be on the cards.

    Hope everyone else is ok, I will catch up with the posts properly tomorrow as my had is really hurting now. Night all x

    Evening all

    I am on my own this evening so decided to get another review done, 14/25 now. Really pleased with myself today. I am off to see if I can do any on Viva as I got screened out of yesterday's.

    I notice that I never get the 85p added from the Web Sourcing 2011- surveys even after several months. The NV surveys at least till now have been added straightaway. Though not the one done today of course!

    Flycatchers - I've had the 85p ones go on in a bulk lot before now, but lately they seem to go astray so I've not been bothering with them. It's the same with the partner surveys on NVista - I stopped doing them because they never paid, but last week I had a load go on at once. If you've the time, it's probably worth doing them, but if you can spend your time wisely by earning more elsewhere don't bother. It's all in this months challenge - you've got to prioritise.

    Rufus - you're on a roll. Woohoo.

    Savvy - I hope your headache is better in the morning. Take care x

    Michelle - I hope you enjoyed your soak, and rest.

    Pink - thanks for the rate - it pushed me up to 'exceptional' - I posted you some tips, I hope you don't mind.

  • I'm awful

    Kept saying just 10 minutes, and now its 11:30. I've still got a load of washing to hang up too.

    Night xxx
  • Morning everyone, sorry I haven’t been around the last few days been really busy.

    Hope everyone is ok after all these stupid riots. It makes your blood boil and like many of you have mentioned they need to be punished. They should have punished there at the scene. My brother in law is in the army and he risks his life for his country for what, for mindless scrum to wreck it.

    I got a crown the other day so really pleased with that. I’m a bit slow on the reviewing at the moment struggling to find tie but will keep going with it. Hope everyone else is doing well with it. Well done on your crown elysia.

    Nickybo, I was put in the higher risk group for my second pregnancy as it didn’t all go to plan with my first. It turned out I had the perfect birth the second time round so fingers crossed for you.

    Raining here this morning so hoping to get a bit done and stay in today.

  • Morning all,

    Well done on your crown claireylulu.

    Woke up to find an email saying my laptop is delayed another week! So fed up about it all now, best ask for an extension otherwise I wont be able to fo my assignment in time. Wish I could just get a refund and buy one today but a refund takes a week too. Grrrr :mad:

    Just hoping the day improves somewhat, I don't think I could handle another awful day, I'm so tired since dd's birthday running around seeing family.

    Hope you all have a good money making day, off to check for surveys.

    Claire - well done on the crown xx

    Savvy - shame about the lap top. Can you make a start by writing some of it down so that you only have to type it up when you get to a lap top? Can you get to the library may be and type it up there and email send it off from there? I know its hard when you got a little one xx

    I claimed a £10 voucher from VO this morning.

    Edit to add, had the voucher already. I have £120 something now and need another £89 to get the three main presents I want to get.
