    Zangels with the cone one (we don't mention it's name) it is an invite only panel that gives you £3 paypal or lunch vouchers (was £4). You get 1-2 surveys a month with them. Next time I get an email from this panel I will email the link to anyone that wants to be referred. They are VERY secretive about the panel and ask that you discuss it with no one outside of your household!

    Sneaky peaky talk over, how is everyone's day going?

    Just thought I would post regarding sealed pots/piggy banks. I was going to use an old jar to save spare cash in but chances are it will be dipped into and I noticed on grabbit that Hawkins Bazaar have terracotta piggy banks which have a little hammer to break open and comes in a wooden sty with shredded paper for the straw. It's in the sale for £2.50 and there is a free delivery code, you can also pay with paypal. This piggy sells for over £7 elsewhere.

    I had to buy one as they are too cute and very practical, hope it helps someone x

    I have just ordered mine as I did have it going into a small cardboard box! This is much nicer. Thanks

    "To help keep tabs on how much you earn/spend/save you can download a spreadsheet from ..... (Thank you Jamtart06)"

    Please help - I cannot get the spreadsheet to work, even though I have not typed in the red areas. I put amounts under original cost and price paid, but the spreadsheet does not then calculate Money Saved. Where am I going wrong :(

    Hi all,

    Have had £19.52 from TCB :j

    Toluna, I have almost reached my max points of 15k on polls and topics so will have to carry on doing 80 word opinions for another 5k and hope to get some good surveys. I am at 46k on there at the mo. But they has took me a lot of hours!! Cant do my personal survey to complete my interest surveys to get my 2k extra, keep trying grrr

    NV I should be at £49 but one survey I did yesterday said survey closed when I got to the end. i have sent them an email to make sure I get it as it was £2

    Had VO survey so am up to £13 on there with only £8 cleared.
    Ebay is at £22 :j

    Am about to go shopping and know I will save on half price stuff but this doesnt go on the receipt tho.
    Dont think I am going to do surveynetwork, dont seem to be accepted on all of the anyway.
    Have took all my decs down now and all looks bare!

    MF new target Dec 16 REACHED!! :j
  • I didn't realise the coney one had upped food vouchers to £4, I always opted for paypal as when I asked for vouchers they sent me £3 per one and paypal is much handier.

    Twinklekat - Hope work isn't too bad, it's just getting back into the swing of things again isn't it.

    Susie - Think I may treat myself to a pair of your earrings hun, had a lovely dress that I had ordered for my Birthday/Christmas but didn't get areound to wearing it as I didn't have any pretty jewellery so would be perfect for valentines.

    Esmer - Hope you feel better soon hun, relax and have a well desrved rest tonight, those surveys will be there tomorrow and your health is more important.

    Piglet - Well done on your savings, your pot will be full in no time.

    I've got 3 x £2 coins too. I have another sealed pot on the go - rather like what Savvy posted earlier - but this is for a trip to Rome for my sisters 40th in 18 months time. I have bits of money all over the show. LOL

    I've just gone on Toluna and checked all my surveys are cleared now, so I was up to 71,000. I made a good effort for the last hour and managed to do two for 2,800 and one for 1,800 so I need another 2000 survey roughly until payment.

    Twinkle - I'd like a 'cone' referall when you get one please - I've been trying to get on to them for about two years - I don't think they like me, but they might like my 19yr old daughter ;)

    See you later everyone - I've promised to play on the wii for a bit with DD2. Take care xxx
