    Just popped on while madam is eating her tea, and I realized I've got my first crown :D:D:D I came on earlier and was totally oblivious to it!! (thanks for the nom elysia x)

    Pennies - You don't HAVE to rate other members reviews BUT you won't earn much from your reviews if you don't, you'll only get the 600, 300 or 100 points per review, which isn't really much. I found after I first joined people weren't rating my reviews much, but now I've been doing alot of rating I get alot of rates back and that makes each review earn alot more. That way if you don't write a review one day but carrying on rating other peoples you will still be earning some points with people rating you back. It's defo worth it :)

    Claire - I havent been doing the 85p ones either. They seem to be alot longer than the others and with iffy payouts I'd rather spend my time doing something else!

    Hope everyone is having a fab day

    Well done Chick. I told you it was a good 'un. ;)

    That's what I meant in a roundabout way. If she wants the money to keep rolling in, she needs to rate.

    If you wanted to add Pennies to your circle the clues in the name. :)

    How are you feeling now Chick? How's little one too?

  • I was so surprised, the feeling is great! I'll go and add her :D

    DD is better back to her terrorizing ways lol, I'm getting chesty now instead of snotty, which should mean I'll be getting a better nights sleep tonight. Nothing worse than lieing on my side with the blockage running from one nostril to the other lol, sorry that sounds rank!

  • Hi everyone, hope you are all ok and doing well with your moneymaking. Hello to all the newbies joining :wave:

    Sorry i have not been about but been poorly again for a few weeks. Got pleuricy back again and ended up in hospital. Better now but just hope it doesn;t come back.

    I've still been plodding along with the surveys, not looked at loony in a long time though. Must try and get back into it again, just not enough hours in the day at the moment.

    Really cross with the youngpolly. my son got enough to redeem over 2 weeks ago but when u click on redeem it doesnlt work. I wrote to them and they were like oh yeah we know it isn't working but we are looking into it, dont see why they cant sort it manually.:mad:

    Cornish hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.

    Catch up with everyone tomorrow.take care xxxxxx

    Sorry you havetn been well Twinkle, shame about Young Poll. My daughter gave up on it ages ago. I think the whole site has gone down hill over the last few months or so, One Poll that is.

    I am out this morning so wont have time to do much, I didnt have any surveys in my inbox anyway. I will try to get a review done tomorrow. We dyed YD's hair last night so I am hoping I can do that if its on there already. She did my highlights too so I look a lot lighter this morning. May be that's why my headache has gone lol.

    I have had £9.84 payable on TCB for a few weeks now, I was waiting for it go to up to £10 before redeeming but just thought about the Amazon vouchers as they pay you extra on there and I have managed to claim a voucher for £10.33 instead. I have just under £40 left on there now that is completed but not yet payable so I am hoping that will become payable in September.

    Morning everyone, hi to all the newbies hope you are getting the hang of all the sites and everything. All I will add is that you just do what you can, everyone understands about work/life commitments and just work round it. I am on Toluny but haven't actually done any polls for ages, so need to start concentrating on that a bit more. Do what you can, and we will all encourage you as much as we can!

    I've had quite a productive week so far, despite being at work (first day off today woohoo!). I managed to sell the concert tickets, and also got my winnings for the Dream Team. An item I bought at a market for £1 last week is selling on ebay for a lot more than that, and still has over a day to go. Bought DS his new bed at a knockdown price, think we will be selling his old one on so hope to be money neutral on that. He now wants his room redecorating and new bedding (which he has seen in Next!) Might have to get him the duvet and curtains (when I've saved enough), but he'll have to wait for the other bits. Its new in so hopefully will be in more than one catalogue.
    Got the food shopping to do today, fancied a change so haven't had T delivery, I'm going to try Mr M instead.

    There is a new site my OH has found called KGB deals (similar to groupon) and there was a good one on yesterday for an A3 canvas print for £8.49 so am going to order one of these. Don't know if I get anything for referring. Another one is Wahanda. I get £5 for referring you and you also get £5 off a deal, so if you are interested in joining this one please PM me your email address and I will send you on the link.

    Well, best get on, will check back in later today

    Twinkle sorry to hear you have been unwell, glad to hear your a bit better now.

    Legend - do what you did before and put it on ebay - for all countries though not just england. At least then you'll get some money back. I had my redeem for paypal.

    Chick - glad little miss is feeling better. I hope you do soon too.

    Twinkle - sorry to hear you've been unwell. I hope you're on the mend.

    Foxy - wow well done you. It's sounds like you have everything sussed, and everything's going to plan.

    Claire - well done on the extra review. I know how you feel, it's OH day off too, so I'll be going out in a mo.

    Rufus - I'm due payments on TCB too - I've been waiting months for it, so I can claim it all at once - I may have do to what you have done. You'll have to post some pics of your new hair do's on FB. :)

    Savvy - Boots paid up - so I just redeemed £51 odd of ILCB. It was a bit of a bother sorthing out the redeem. I had to get onto Live chat - but got there in the end. Even better news, paypal paid instantly. I'm not sure if I'll use them again, but I'm chuffed to bits. :D

    Right then ladies, I'd best get dressed, and off out. See you all later. Byeeeeeeee
