susiecm3

not been on for a day or 2 and had 6 pages to read lol

Got my first decent bingo win today so up to 6500 so hopefully get a redeem on Sunday, only had one ipsos and the t one never wants me for surveys, also surveynetwork seems like you fill loads in THEN they say they dont want you!!!

onepoll has never shown any for me yet :-(

Having actually needed to do a shop this week, only want for fresh bread and veg and spent a total of £15 we usually spend over a £100 so saved on this :-)

I did a mystery shop once - I felt like James Bond - this message will self destruct in ten seconds. LOL

I got paid £7 and had to pay for my meal, and busfare there (total cost £8). I didn't do it again, as someone local to me kept getting all the nice jobs with no travelling. Grrr.

Susie - keep trying with Onopoll, some days there's none and others there's 3 or 4 every time you log in. Well done on the shopping saving - I went to sainsburys, tesco and morrisons yesterday to get the best of all the bargains. I usually just stick to tesco.

Well done savvy on £30 Amazon - I've had £20 and just put some of it to use, to buy DD boxset of Vicar of Dibley for her birthday. Another present off the list. Yay.

Is everyone keeping up to date with their spreadsheets - don't forget to add the money you've earned and saved to it. Hopefully you should be seeing the totals getting bigger now, as money starts to come in.

Just a question but can I use the money I have saved in a pot, unsealed so far, to pay for a present now? Its just they are down from £30 to £7 and might get 1 for DS birthday and a spare for any parties? Ideas ladies???

I would say of course you can, we are all moneymaking to cover the cost of Christmas, and if there is a good deal you should go for it. If we had to wait until December it would cost us alot more to buy presents, make use of the sales whilst you can x

Thanks Elysia...Baby is better today and slept all day!! Typical! lol. She's only 11wks old & had bronchiolitis already...so just hoping it the sniffles!

How is everyone doing today? I haven't managed to do much today as had a friend round this morning, and was discussing money saving techniques lol. Then I had to go for my eye test (no prescription change so I didn't have to fork out for new lenses wohoo lol). I had to pop in to the card shop for DH's Nan...brought her 2 cards which came to less than £2....and she gave me £5 for them & wouldn't let me give her the change.....so I will put the whole £5 in my sealed pot

Just about to get on and do some bingoport & surveys etc whilst children are watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory xx

And on a negetive note , the misfortune continues, :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I shouldnt laugh really. The central heating is behaving strangely, the plumber been here all day and is returning tomorrow. And the strange bit is he asked did we have a foot pump as he needed one to sort it out , the mind boggles....

Might just have to do the odd post here and there and when way over 10000 (which will take ages then), play my 2000 points that week.

That's how I do it too. I don't have enough time to go on Bingoport every day so I just post when I have time. I'm not playing any of the points now, but will wait until I have 12,000. Then I'll play my 2000 the way Elysia has said and redeem. I may even win a bit playng the 2000 and that will give me a head start for the next voucher

With bingoport I tend to do my posts all in one go,before I play bingo for that day. The posts take about 10 mins. I normally choose one section of the forum and work my way down the posts. One night m=newbies, next winners etc. I always look at the first post and make my reply relevent to that.

I play every night because I enjoy the chat and I find over the week I win far more than my 2k points I have bet!!

If on Thursday after I have redeemed I have less than 700 points I spend those in the slots, if I get to less than 200 pts I go on wicked wheel until I have more than 1000 pts, then I post and start week with at least 2000 points.

In the past week I have won 3400 pts on Bingo, so I think it is worth playing daily if you have the time.

Stressed xxx sorry for long post
