Savvybunny2009

Oh dear, soundslike you have had a right old day Elysia, hope the car is ok now and you are at home relaxing, fancy sending a guy from London though lol. Thanks for the heads up on viva, did one pop, looks like I will be able to redeem again tomorrow loving viva at the moment.

Rufus your cushions are gorgeous, I bet they will be snapped up quickly.

I did it, I reached pay out on the starry one Not sure I will be doing it again 350 pointy shiny things takes ages.

Foxy - I enjoy viva but I think they have good months and bad months, when we first found it I was redeeming every three days, then it all went quiet for a few months and I didn't really make the effort. The last week it seems to have picked up for me again.

The money making almost justifies the money spending today bought some dress up costumes for dd tangled, cinderella, peppa pig and belle from beauty and the beast for £20. Very pleased as we have wanted to get the peppa pig costume for dd for a while good price and nicer than the cheaper versions and the belle costume will go nicely with the Beauty and Beast dvd we have put away for the Christmas eve hamper. Oooh I'm all excited about Christmas lol

Sounds as if most people are well and truly up and running for Christmas. Hope you can all keep it up.

I have been looking through some of the new sites and they certainly have a lot to do on them.

There are a couple of writing sites if anyone is interested in doing that. I am with Freelancer and Zemandi - Zemandi is a pain at the moment as they are trying to update their system and it is taking ages.

I am not associated with them other than getting some work from them so dont want it to sound like I am pushing them, but if you dont mind a bit of research they pay about the same as a survey.

Thanks for the heads up Karonher. I think I have enough on my plate at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind. It might be something Michelle might like though.

Savvy - wow - you got come fab bargains there. 4 for £20. Bargain. I used to pay £30 plus each for DD's from Disney Shop. When Woolies went nowhere near us sold them.:(

Just been invited to another panel on ms. I'm supposed to start it tonight but can't face it now. I'll do it in the morning.

Hello, I've just joined dooyoo and swagbucks and am interested in ways to make money or vouchers towards Christmas, which I know I have left it late but better late than never

I went through a referral for swagbucks, I'm happy to join other sites if you have a referral for me to go through, but only if its worth my time IUSWIM

I'm also going to do a bit of knitting miniture Xmas decorations to sell on Ebay or Etsy (well, that's the plan!),

Am broke and if I don't do something Christmas ain't gonna happen, there's a new baby in the house and he needs pressies, but I guess at that age I could MAKE him something......................:p

Hmmmm, homemade Xmas presents....................think I need to read this whole thread

September - you're in the right place. We'll all help. Have you read through the first post with all the sites on? There are more we can tell you when you get the hang of it. If there's anything you fancy joining just pm someone on here and they will refer you. We're not supposed to post referal links you see.

Viva would be a good one to try first (no referal just join). There are surveys nearly each day, but you have to go on the site, rather than be sent an email. Payment is at £10 by paypal, and usually only takes two weeks, so it's one of the better ones.

With a baby in the house just do what you can and when you can

Just done 3 surveys on viva and managed a redeem. I seem to be getting one redeem a month which is great. I don't always get time to go on but I quite like their surveys.

Feeling really tired, spent all afternoon visiting family my eyes are really hurting just looking at the screen.

Well done on Viva.
You go to bed then Claire. Night night x

Hi guys.

I have moved from the holiday place in Kent to the ILs house in London, so not quite back up to speed, but I did make the most of proper internet connection tonight and did a few viva surveys. I'm not going to get a lot done while we are away, but I will do a bit now we have internet again.

Great news while i was away I got a crown and the premium fund was absolutely fab. I got £47. This was for about 100 Es, so i am starting to think maybe they also look at how much you have rated as well, seems though it is more than others got. Or perhaps how many things are newly added to the site. Who knows. I was in shock at that, and I just kept saying to DH i don't believe it. Crazy money.

My BIL let us borrow his internet sign on, so I did copy across a couple of reviews to DY, but i see Elysia has already grassed me up for that. :rotfl:I only popped in for a short while to see if I got a crown, and that is how she repays me. :rotfl:

Sorry to see Foxy and Elysia have had such bad news this week, and I also hope cornish is now feeling better from her cold.

I am hoping my totals for this month won't be too behind with having a small break. I must confess to also doing a couple of surveys, but it is in a good cause, and it was only crowdology and GTM which are both close to payout and quick to do. I also did plenty of reading, knitting and film watching, so a rich source of material for reviewing.

Welcome to the thread september, you are definitely in the right place to make some money for Christmas we will get you on the right track. As Elysia mentioned, have a look through the first couple of posts and sign up with some survey sites, viva is quite a good one but there are lots to choose from. Do as much as you feel comfortable with, as the lovely Elysia would say - every penny will be one penny less you will need to find at Christmas

Hope you have a good rest clairey.

Well done on the crowns and fund payment michelle, even with taking time out your doing very well. Hope you are enjoying some R&R hun.

Feel better after having a good sleep. Just wish the littest one would have given me an extra half hour in bed to wake up myself! Oh well I can dream!

Wow Michelle that premium fund is fantastic well done, you deserve it after all the hard work you put into it. Hope you have had a lovely holiday so far and feel refreshed.

Wise words savvy, sometimes I think i'm not doing as well as all of you but every penny does count and it will help come Christmas time. You get what you put in, I don't always have the time to put as much in so my totals are usually smaller but it still helps.
