Thankyou
I will be hopping on the ebay wagon this weekend.
I'm going to have a look at Mccains too, and some survey sites. I've tried loads of survey sites before though and they always flop, can anyone reccommend any good ones?
Also, I had a look at shop & scan, how do you get an invitation code to register?Oct £10 a day challenge £225.19/£310Sept £10 a day challenge: £272.13/£300Debt £1951.97/£21540 -
Well, nothing to add to the total today. Didn't spend anything, but also didn't earn anything either!

A very good friend has sent me a voucher for 50 free prints from photobox that he got when he signed up to their website, only have to pay for postage and they are delivered to the door. I'll update when I know how much the p&p is and how much i would have spent on photos that I've been meaning to get printed for ages.
I've also just done McCains, thanks for the heads up. I don't have a printer though so couldn't do the recipes section and only managed 310 shillings. I've seen they are only redemable when you reach 1000 and you can only add 30 a week with the games so I'll be getting the voucher next February! :rotfl:October £10 a day challenge £51.00/£310

littleboop - I don't even hook up my printer when I print my recipes
I click print, and when it comes up, I click on print again, but it goes nowhere... and I still get my 10 points
plus add the recipes to your favourites... another 10 points or the 10 points
and do what I said on the list every week, you will log in one day and your account is up by way figures
and you won't know why but who cares, as soon as it reaches 1000, cash out! unless yo want M&S or Amazon and it is 2000. 0 -
Thankyou

I recommend Pinecone, if you can get an invite and get taken on by them.
Valued Opinions, Crowdology and possibly Ipsos.
I do a lot more than this but am now whittling down to the ones I am more likely to get money/vouchers from and will stop the others once I can cash out.
Shop and Scan, you have to apply on their website and they will let you know if they accept you. Link on first page, volunteers4panels.0 -
