  • Just got that swag code, and did my first hour of the new thing and got a grand total of .....57p. :o Which was for 19 questions. I was finding it a bit harder than I had when i did the test, and I will see how I go on. Not committing either way. They sound like they have a good referral programme though.
  • I think I'll have a push for the last 20k points then, thanks for that info Elysia. No need to rate back, was only passing some time while DD was watching in the night garden (drives me crazy!!). I don't think I've ever had a charity survey on OW, very strange!

    Oh dear Michelle, maybe once you''ve got into the swing of it you could get faster (if thats how it works) and earn more, hopefully!

    Bunbun - the Amazon voucher works out slightly better value, but I think we're 50/50. Some go for paypal and some voucher. ;)

    How are you doing hun?

    I am fine thanks.

    I am spending hours in the garden with the dog - then he comes in and goes to the toilet in the house:mad: I see what you mean about the springer! it will be so much better when we can take him out.
    he is a fab sleeper though - goes to bed about 10pm and wakes up at 7.30:j

    OH's radio has just sold for £69.89 plus p&p so we are :j:j:j:j:j

    I have enough on swagbucks for paypal so might just go for that. how long has it taken me to get there:rotfl:

    Morning all

    I have done a review already this morning, I couldn't sleep again so was up early. On Friday, YD charged up her mobile phone in the morning as I said she had to take it with her while BF hadn't got a new one sorted so we could get hold of her. I remember unplugging the charger after she had gone out as she had left it switched on, but I can't for the life of me remember where I put it after. Now we can't find it at all. I had all her room out yesterday and its not up there. Bloody nuisance what with her starting college tomorrow so I can get hold of her or her of me. I had it going over and over in my head all night trying to remember where I would have put it but my mind is a blank.

    I had a SN survey this morning, thats two over the weekend if they both track ok.
  • Morning guys. I have just got off to a good start for the morning as I requested £20.75 from survey network.

    I also managed a GTM survey, so i am back at 140/1000 there.

    Hope the rest of you are ok on this fine morning. I am going to be a bit busy this week I think. DHs birthday on Thursday. We go to centre parcs on Friday till Monday, and all the back to school stuff for the 2 of them too. I also found it hard to nod off again last night with all the stuff I keep thinking of that I need to be doing. It never ends.

    cha went ok yesterday. I was a bit slow, but my balance is up to £2.50. Payout is not till £50, but I could do that in 20 days, so it would be ok if i did that. I don't think i'll reach that before the 20th though when they send it out. We'll see.

    I know it's time consuming but thinking about it Michelle - I've rated on DooU and Chow for four and five hours before and only got 20 rates so it's more of a money maker when you think of it that way. Wow - You've got a busy week. I should get a few early nights or your not going to enjoy your break at the weekend, you'll be too shattered.

    Rufus - tell me about it. If I had a brain I'd be dangerous. At the moment i'm missing my epilator, my kindle, and my ipod charger lead, oh and my electric toothbrush, I had to go out and buy another. 90% of the time, I'm missing my purse and house keys too. I told you I was bad. :( It'll turn up when you're not looking for it. Well done on the other review.

    DD2 goes back to school tomorrow and her name labels still haven't turned up. It looks like I'm going to have to label them with permanent marker. :(
