Legendmum

Exactly same as mine rufus! I have been waiting months to build up a good amount to cashout but have given up now so at least I can put the cash aside and count it towards this months totals! Was going to get Amazon voucher but I have about £150 in there so really need some cash so I can spend elsewhere if bargains come up!

Savvy if you are there I forgot to tell you I posted your parcel yesterday! Will pm you now!

I just did £1.10 on P*r* Pr*f*le and 80p on SN so thats £2.20 so far today, not much more to go and might do that with ratings on DY.

Morning, just managed £1 on viva, got screened out of 3 others on there so hopefully other people will get them! I've had £8 in a week on there now, its a shame they changed the payout amount but nevermind!

I just need 30 points on mysurvey - so close! I also have a few watchers on my ebay items, they dont end till sunday so hopefully still time for proper bids!

Here the Paypal info guys

Simply keep the money you receive through selling with PayPal in your PayPal account and, rather than withdrawing your funds, use them to make purchases to the value of £30 or more before October 15 2011. We'll then refund the seller fees you accumulate between 15 September and 15 October up to the value of £10.
To qualify, you can make as many purchases as you like to make up the £30 but all purchases must be made using only the money you receive through PayPal from selling. Any funds that you transfer in to your PayPal account using your credit card, debit card or bank will not be eligible. You can make the purchases on eBay or any of the thousands of websites that accept PayPal.
If you qualify, you should expect to recieve your refunded fees in your PayPal account by 22 October 2011. Happy shopping!

I think I should get mine back as I made abround the 50 mark and have just spent 40 as I ordered 2 Wii remotes from Ebay!

Good morning all :wave:

Sounds like the oney making is coming on nicely, not many forfeits - well done everyone

Michelle the gym sounds like a great idea, do they allow you to just pay for the pool per visit? That could work out cheaper if you go a few times a week. Glad Murphy has settled in well you sound very busy!

Sorry to hear about your car incident, I think depending on how deep the scratch was I would have fixed it myself as it would probably be cheaper than the excess and the cost of losing no claims if worse case scenario happens. Hope it all comes good in the end, motorway driving is awful with lorry drivers, I remember coming back over the dartford bridge and having an artic pull out in front of me when there was no space, luckily it was a nar miss but lorry/truck drivers are ruthless on motorways.

Elysia, I would never have considered a £150 outfit for dd but I fell in love with an outfit, £35 is reasonable for the amount of use it will get and we plan on having another photoshoot seeings as little madam was having none of it on holiday. I would be lucky to spend £50 a year on myself on clothes, I only bought myself clothes for holiday as I had vouchers, dd tends to get alot but at her age they grow so quickly you have to lol. Saw a gorgeous cashmere cardigan in Tesco today for £50, I love it but I just can't justify that much

Thanks Legend, was wondering what it was for the paypal refund, will order a voucher for £30 and get my £10 fees back free £10 for me then. Does that count as money making? Thanks again for being so lovely to send me the parcel hun, I am very grateful xx And well done on your totals, need to chase up a few myself I think.

Hope everyone is having a good day today xx

Savvy - It's all money making, no matter how you do it. Go for it. I don't think £35 to pay in the end isn't too bad really. It's just the full price that's :eek:

Legend - thanks for that. Last time I had £11 fees, and that's without the 30 items that end on Sunday. I've been spending it here and there, so £10 bonus for me too.

Rufus - you're doing well. How about trying on Chow again? - post your hair dye/shampoo reviews over (or any other beauty ones), and you'll earn 25 p each. Just post a few over per month when there's a promotion that you're interested in is on. You can redeem at £5. If it's 25p per review - that's 16 reviews even without rates, and you've already written them. It won't take too long to do a few rates here and there. Have a good afternoon. I should have left my purse at home this morning too. I only went for some potatoes, £25 later I had to struggle home with three full carrier bags.

Afternoon.

Been a fairly busy one again. Murphy has been out for his first walk/carry down the street. Took a long time to get him to stop shaking, but by the time we got home he was scampering along. Got him registered at the vets, and they told me about a plan they do, where you pay £15 a month to them, and then any treatments, vaccinations, operations, routine worming is covered for the year, microchipping and neutering if I want it done. I had been considering petplan insurance at £13 a month for him. Although it is a lot, one of the pups got hurt the other week and mum got charged £500. Another thing to think about paying for.

School also collared me for helping this morning. I offered to help in their foundation unit, but they have obviously been talking about me in the staff room, as what they want is to get me helping out with the older kids in school with a reading programme, and also volunteer in the unit as well, and get involved in the PTA. I don't know how many hours they think I want to give, but I don't want to be there for 3 hours a day or I'll never get anything else done. I'll be skint. Fair enough to use me properly, but I need some time without the kids around too or I won't feel any benefit. Next year will be different again as I will be able to use some time each day if they need me but still have a few hours free to get my stuff done. I'll have to be strict.

Not got lots of money making done today, but i was on Cha till 1:30 this morning, so I think I will let myself off, and the pup then had me up about 6:45. DS2 thankfully is tired and will probably snooze this afternoon, though I might join him.

Michelle - I know how you feel. DD's school always single me out too. I was asked on Friday to put myself forward to be a parent govenor. I certainly haven't enough time to dedicate to that. I don't mind helping out at school but sometimes they don't half take advantage.

I was really going for it yesterday - but today I can't be bothered.

I feel the same - both can't be bothered, and also it's always me. It's my own fault in a way, as I don't mind helping a bit, but there is literally no-one else who does it. They are disbanding the PTA as it is poor, and trying to start afresh.

I will watch though, as though I don't mind using my skills, particularly if they can really help make things better for kids in the school, I won't be working there all day every day for free. I bet they had real fun - ooh, we have a parent who has a teaching qualification and wants to help - ooh, where can we put her to use. It sounds a fab project, and I fully support the idea of helping the weaker kids with reading, but when she said they are absolutely desperate for helpers, I did think hmmmmm. It's a shame more people don't find the time just helping their own kids rather than thinking school can do it all. Now if they love me and want to offer me a teaching assistant job, I would not be complaining one bit.

I thought you were in bed early last night. How come you can't be bothered? It's part tired for me, and part the miserable day. It's so windy here.
