Hi Kneill and Josielouh

Have a read of the first page of the thread there are some tips on there on post 1 and 2 I think. A for Toluna, we mostly all do it still, if you stick with it you can get to redeem once a month if your'e lucky. The vouchers have been coming in about 2 months after you redeem so once you have waited your first 2 months you then can get a voucher just about every month.

A lot of us write reviews as well as surveys for sites like Dooyoo or Ciao, some do both. I just write for Dooyoo and that is not bad, you have to put some work into it and rate other people's reviews as well as writing your own but its worth it.

Hiya Josie and Kate. I see you've been looked after very well. You're most welcome to join in - get comfy because you might be here a while

As well as being quite hard work, it is very enjoyable and very addictive too.

First site to join is Viva(tic).co.uk - and do whatever surveys you can - then after 5pm they re-new them, so you might be able to get a double whammy today Like Michelle says - don't do too much at once, slow and steady wins the race and every penny earned now is one less you have to find from elsewhere.

Knit - snickerdoodles sound yummy - can I have a recipe or is it just bung it all in? I've just been to whs and I've been lusting (drooling) over the Hummingbird Cake days book. I wouldn't buy it because I'm trying to do Weight watchers again.

Pablos - thinking of you. I hope little one behaves itself.

Legend - OH buys me presents but they are either what he wants for himself or totally rubbish. I got a gadget to give you an electrical face lift once. :eek:

That made me laugh Elysia, if my OH bought me one of those I know where I'd use it lol, not on MY face either!!

Anyone who does Maxi***es they have a lot of new videos on there, I have just earned quite a few points watching them.

Thank u all for the warm welcome. Since I have been off work I have had a clear out, it has been slow but have sold stuff on eBay and so made a few pence there :T. This week I have set up a Facebook selling page and joined lots of local swap it sell it groups and have already scooped up £40 with another £18 of sales to go through so that's been a good start. After reading some of the tips here I have found some vouchers to use on my shopping so made some savings there too! About to tackle some of the surveys now . . . Wish me luck

elysia2003

Good luck hun.


Legend - apparantly CPW has has another delivery of TP's today. None by me though - as DD want's one now.

Well I'm back, baby was in the same position again! face down, hands up, had to sit in the waiting room for a while and then luckily it had moved enough for her to see the heart and everything is perfect! soooo relieved!!! She couldnt tell if it was a boy or girl though! so..being impatient and wanted to knit, I've just booked a private gender scan for Sunday afternoon - no way could I wait until February, I want to start my knitting!!!
I feel so relieved now, going to have dinner and get my head down for some proper survey trawling.

elysia2003

I'm relieved for you hun. What a weight off your mind. I'm sorry you didn't get the sexing of the baby though. Good luck with the surveys. xxx

Pablosmummy - I'm so glad everything is fine with your baby. It's such a relief when you hear that everything is as it should be. Glucose test - I was also told to take some food to have after

Welcome Josie and Kate, lovely to have more new people joining us!

I was having a half-hearted tidy up of my stock cupboard at work today and found some textbooks that I thought I'd given to the charity shop ages ago. They are all in really good condition and are not that old so I think I might have a go at selling them on Amazon. I'll try to remember to bring them home with me tomorrow as they are still sitting in my cupboard!

I'm going to steal the idea of making a list of sites to visit every day. I had actually forgotten all about 1poll and haven't been on there for a couple of months. That's mainly due to the fact it's gone a bit rubbish there though.

Hurray, lots of newcomers!

A very warm welcome to you all, I hope you all enjoy the thread, it is a fun, friendly thread and everyone is lovely and so helpful, without them I wouldn't have stuck with it and wouldn't have made anywhere as near as much as I have. Big thanks ladies xxxxx

Had a good day, went to tesco and found the barbie school set dtd'd so it was free, and the waybuloo nara playset for £7.50 and used giftcard. Pleased that another few presents for dd are put aside, can't believe all the bargains lately. Oh, couldn't find the sewing machine, went into a different tesco and the staff were very cold and unfriendly

Kneill, I found since I joined a facebook swap group I have not only found lots of stuff that I could sell or swap, but I have swapped lots of new unwanted items for lots of new wanted items, have sorted a lot of presents for dd for Christmas, vouchers to pay for hubby's Christmas items, picked up things I had budgeted for for next to nothing and got a few luxury items for me I also found items that I thought wouldn't do well went quickly and the others have done great on ebay. It's worth trying it as one mans treasure is another mans trash xx

Glad baby is ok pablos, and I think that your little bundle wants to keep it a secret! I hope the private scan goes well xx

Hope everyone has been doing well, what have you all been up to today?

Pablosmummy

Thanks!!
Just redeemed on viva woo! Also finally got round to signing up for mcains although I'm a bit confused - is it just play the games each week?? also I just did the survey for 200 spud shillings but they havent shown up - do they take time or have I lost them? the points for the games came up straight away so I'm not sure.
