    Wow well done mummyofonechild - Just noticed that you have just become mortgage free - Congratulations.

    As for one poll sorry no tips or advice - not a member (as of yet!)

    OK little things done yesterday 23rd June '11 for me were :-

    1/ Emptied car of rubbish (there was a lot - hopefully should save a bit of petrol!)
    2/ Persuaded hubby to take school raffle tickets into work to sell to save us having to buy all £10 (he sold all £10 so now only have to buy a couple of books to keep my conscience clear!)
    3/ Printed free Rice Infusions voucher (found from MSE - thanks)
    4/ Survey completed on Disney rewards for 50 points
    5/ 3 competitions entered (fingers crossed)
    6/ Made a few items for craft fair booked for this weekend (luckily already have quite a bit made & ready to sell)

    I find onepoll really good.. They don't email you any surveys so you do have to keep popping in and out to see if there are new ones available.

    I work at a computer all day so i check first thing in the morning, at break time, lunchtime and just before i go home for the evening.

    I don't think they release any surveys at weekends but i may be wrong on this one...
    Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.

    Ditto!

    Also, if you have the time, set up accounts for other members of the family. I've found that you get some of the same surveys and if you get screened out of one, you can usually manipulate the other. :o

    I really like OnePoll - I've signed up with Valued Opinions but I'm not enjoying it as much and I'd rather have the cash :D

    With Op, i find i log on as frequently as i can during the day, and i seem to get loads. They don't do new ones at weekends, and mornings are usually easier as the pages load quicker. Also, try and refer some people as the bonuses are good from doing so. You get rewarded when they join, when they hit a tenner, £25, and £40. I've referred about 7 people.

    I seem to be motoring at the minute. I don't know how or why really, and i have actually been away from the computer a bit more than usual.

    Today I:
    • got £1.10 from shop and scan
    • did 4 surveys on vivatic for £1 each
    • Got enough swagbucks to claim a £5 amazon voucher.
    • received another £5 voucher for amazon for another site
    • Received £3 paypal for PC.
    • done 2 surveys for synnovate
    • cleared inbox of all survey invites
    • received 2 sachets of coffee for free in the post
    I also need to do a review on DY of my washing machine as they are running a promotion where if your review is the 1st for that item you can get £1.20 instead of 60p. Great stuff.

    Since I last posted I have earned 1 free weekend stay in a Premier Inn and after next week I only need 1 stay to get two more. You can earn a total of 5 so need 3 stays in July but I might well do that otherwise its 3 per free night. Means less cash back on Quidco but well worth it.

    Sorted my short term gym problem out bought 12 bootcamp sessions for £24 thats £48 saved via Groupon they are very local and quite flexible as they do 4 sessions a week. I was paying £21 for 3 sessions with the personal trainer but should hopefully be just as good. New gym might be taking over old one so Happy TG here.

    Cheap day out at the Maine Coon show, entrance £1.50, diesel free (company car) and lunch £5.

    Zumba tomorrow morning (free) and Golf there after also free.

    Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday night.
