Just sold £11.23 on ebay so good start to the challenge, I would actually like too earn £100 this month if I could be will start with the equivalent of £2.50 a day and then put my total up later if I think I can do it, don't want to set myself up for a fall lol!

You won't set yourself up for a fall Emma - Instead of doing normal reviews, try and concentrate on beauty ones this month to make the most of it. I bet it's toys next month A few reviews here, a review or two there, plus a bit of ebaying, you'll soon get to £100. If you feel yourself flagging, let us know and we can help you.

Savvy - That was a lovely thing to say. We are all in it together - We're a team!!!

Michelle - I agree. I couldn't do this on my own. I don't know if you knew, last year there was only a handful of us here, and no challenges after March time. I made £900 all year, and it was blooming hard work keeping myself motivated. I beat that target by End March/early April - with all the help from all you lovely ladies. We all need you, just as much as you need us.

Just to say - there's a code for a free card on Funky pigeon. Type in the word FUNKYRETURN don't copy and paste it.

I didn't know there were less of you last year. I did some surveys last year, but I started doing more because I set the challenge on my diary to pay £10k off the mortgage this year, and Pammy told me about surveys she did, and you guys. Then I popped over to find out for myself, and I am so glad I did. That wasn't till quite late in the year though, was it? I can't even remember when I started to join in.

Well, let's be grateful we found each other then, as we all kick a bit of !!! this year. I earn enough to be like a part time job.

I'm aiming for close to £400 this month myself. Only because I'm expecting cheques and i also have chacha.

I think I joined just before Christmas last year! Was already doing bits on my own but with all you lovely lot I have got so much stuff for Christmas, Birthdays, unexpected bills and furniture! If I was soppy I may have started declaring my love for you all! lol

Elysia random question but do you hear from Esmer, Ddraig or Zangels nowadays? As we are reminiscing (sp~?) I thought of them guys!

Well I got a DTD today, first one where it was genuine, I have never done them intentionally before so this was my first one besides a double scan, got 4.44 back so item cost me grand total of 53p
Also got a payment of £11 and a few pence from quidco, first one from that too so quite chuffed :beer:

Now going to go through all survey sites do those so I am on target for the challenge. Just wondering though if you earn more on one day does that cover for another day?

Michelle - The lady who run it before, got married and couldn't find the time to help. This is my first year of running it, as I asked if I could take over. I'm so glad I did. I'm usually quiet and shy so it was totally out of character putting myself forward for something.

How are you doing on Chacha hun? OK I hope. Have a good weekend, and win one of those bonuses.

Beki - well done on DTD. If you want anything over £2.50 to roll over to the next day, it's up to you. I would try and do £2.50 every day though and then anything over £75 odd at the end of the month is a bonus.

ETA: I've been busy today, but I've put it on my to do list tomorrow. I need to find the spreadsheet.

Beki, if I can find it, do you want me to send you a copy too? It'll help you keep track of what you've earned each month. There is also a page, for writing your presents, who you need to buy for, and how much it cost, etc. It helps when you buy presents in the sale in January, come December you'll know exactly who you bought it for

Does anyone know how long it takes for the amazon e-vouchers to get sent out with the survey sites I use (posted I think on one or two pages before), wanting to order some as I have seen some very cheap things and want to use them but knowing my luck the price will go up before I get the vouchers! I know I used some last year and some were quick but some took ages, I think one took 2 weeks!

RE: Spreadsheet, If you can then yes please

Also forgot I earned a free £2.50 in clubcard vouchers with the free voucher they sent haha. Good start I reckon.

Beauty review numero uno is done! plus bonus is I did a perfume review and its worth 2p per rating and I am the first one to review it!!

cornish.chick

Aww ladies, feel the love going round tonight!! I was the same as most, already a part of most survey sites, but with everyone here wanting to earn as much as possible I think it pushes everyone just that little bit more

Beki - It varies depending where you redeemed from, some can be a week some can be months

It sounds like alot of people have made a fab start to the month already! I've just redeemed a £20 am voucher from DY, might try and get another one before the end of the month. Got a few surveys waiting for me so I must crack on!

1/15 reviews done

Just shows how a bit of love and an idea can really grow then. We've certainly nurtured it this year. I can't actually wait to get to December and say, actually, this year, I earned ...., and then next year, see what else we can pull out the bag. We have so many talents between us.

The amazon vouchers - dunno - depends which site you are using. Which one and we might be able to help. Actually, thinking about it, when we update the thread for next year, info about how long a redeem takes in there would be really useful as I can never remember. Swagbucks is one week. Ipsos was nearer 2. Dooyoo is also around 2. Anyone any idea for WH bingo? Or am I one of the 1st to redeem from there? I joined on the 17th of July, so probably fairly good going redeeming on there already.

well done emma on the review. Bonus being first as well. All helps. It might be a bit less than you think though. one pound sign = 0.5p, 2 = 1p, but first review, so every rate will get you 2p.
