1 x viva today and about 4 on T although I dont like to add up how much the measly 1000 points really are in pence as it gets me depressed lol just added another L'Oreal review so glad they have gone up to level 1 as there are so many I can review :j away to do my daily posts and maybe write another review up ready for this evening and going to do my rounds rating and answering opions on T loving the survival hamper ideas think I might look into doing a few hampers for xmas this year so simple yet personal and think they will be well recieved so thanks all xx :beer:

S&S everyone and tissues legend and elysia, and foodie for me. Just done mine so don't forget ladies.

Have decided to split the jewellery, I will get some of the star items for my sister and then some jewellery for neice as it comes in gift boxes it would look far too much if she had it all. Decided the strawberry bracelet, some rings and a necklace would be perfect.

Have done £1.85 on viva today, plus S&S and foodie. Going for a lie down whilst I checkover chow and see what I can do

Hi guys,

Just getting into my Christmas bits and bobs. Gonna have a go at Snowman soup and am dabbling with ebay! What is Maxi and what are worthwhile survey sites to sign up to? I've never had much joy with them before!

Happy dabblings!

Love Bec xxx

Well done Rufus - it seems pointless giving up halfway. You need to make the most of these promotions. I've just added three suggestions to DooU, and neither site are accepting my fourth suggestion yet. I've just got 4 tickets to the new film The Help, so I wanted to get my suggestion in first, otherwise I might not bother for 100 points. I do think current films should get paid more. Don't you?

Savvy - What items did you choose in the end? Sorry Savvy - I was typing when you posted.

Juliejim - well done on Maxi - I've never redeemed as it's the one site I can't really get on with. How long did the £50 take you?

Pablos' - I third the suggestion that you post pics. You sound busy. Make sure you rest later.

Mum2three - I agree, best NOT work out the points on T. Just let them tot up, until it's time to redeem. Well done on Viva - I never go on there over the weekend. I really must make more of an effort.

Michelle - I'm glad your power nap did you good. I'm starting to flag now.

Nicky - good luck with your ebay items. I have my fingers crossed for you. How's your sore throat today, and your pains? Did you here anything about physio yet?

Can anyone remember (without me checking back) when that paypal promotion ended? I think it was 15th Sept - 15th Oct, with money being paid on the 18th but I'm not sure. Good luck for that everyone.

Right - going to find my camera now, and then 40 winks.

Hi Bec - welcome to the thread.

The best paying survey sites are on the second post of the first page. Maxi - is maximiles - it's a bit like quidco with a difference. Instead fo earning cashback,you get paid in points instead - which you can convert for vouchers or items. You also get points for filling in surveys, and watching adverts etc. Swagbuck5 is a similar one - but they take a while.

If you sign up to some sites now - you might be able to redeem on a few of them before Christmas.

Thanks for all the ideas, I love the survival kit idea and am trawling ebay on another page as I type!
I will try and post pics once it is all done x

I have bitten the bullet on chow and joined, found you elysia and have 'trusted' the ones I know from here. I go to my group of friends and none of you are there I am the mandy one that has trusted you. It's going to be a nightmare finding you all again to see your reviews to get a feel for the quality I need to be doing. Off to see if I can find you all again, what a palava.

Can anyone tell me what the 1000 points I need is all about, I can't seem to find any info on it, do I have to write some reviews but not get points?

Just to add about Maxi - there's a surprising amount of free points you can earn. I have recently redeemed for a £10 voucher and haven't done a single cashback type transaction on there. All my points have come from surveys they email me, watching the videos (5 points each for paying ones, but you can watch each one 3 times) and the occassional free sign up to some newsletter that I just send to my junk folder Oh, as well as clicking on the almost daily emails they send - most of them give you 5 points just for clicking the link. It soon adds up and doesn't take long at all.


Elysia - I'm not too bad today, thanks for asking. My throat is already feeling less painful, not better but at least not like razor blades anymore. I've got parents evening tomorrow night so we'll see how it is after all that talking! I've not heard anything about the physio yet, hope I do soon. Ooh, I've not checked my Ebay for a few hours, I'll go and do it in a minute!

Got a bargain earlier on, I think I saw it on the Grabbit board - on the Superdrug website they have lots of Andrew Collinge hair stuff as reduced but then also buy 1 get 1 free. Perfect prezzie for my husband's sister who is pretty hard to buy for but loves posh hair stuff. I got her 5 things (and myself 3 ) and even better, they take Paypal so I paid with my Ebay earnings - all money neutral, woohoo! Oh, and delivery is free too :j
