  • I don't think i managed to do 10 things today - i've had some health appointments and been designing my OH website most of the day!

    What i did manage to get done:

    1. I updated my survey site records for most of the sites i use with my current earned balances
    2. I completed a survey on vivatic - now at £5.85
    3. I went looking for coke zone bottles/cans and found 2 :)
    4. I checked my bank balance to make sure i'm not going to end up in the red over the weekend
    5. I watched some videos on maximiles - now at 520 points
    6. I updated my profile on Gratispoints for extra points - now at 920 points
    7. I completed a survey on Mindmover - now at 725 points
    8. I clicked on my earning emails
    9. I completed enough searches to get a free lotto ticket

    hmmmm just one short - i'm sure i could squeeze a few games of bingo in before i go to bed! LOL :rotfl: so i'm off to do that now:

    10. Completed some games on Woohoo - 118 gold stars

    Right bed time for me! Night all, sleep tight :)

    Yesterday's:

    1. YouGov - completed survey for entry into prize draws.

    2. Maximiles - completed free signup offer for 200 points; watched videos for 15 points (72p).

    3. Websites - bought book at charity shop that has info I can use on one of my websites.

    4. Swagbucks - only earned 20 SBs.

    5. Amazon marketplace - mailed CD that I sold. Checked prices of two others I have, but decided to try my luck on eBay with those instead.

    6. Valued Opinions - tried to do a survey, but got disqualified. I suppose that doesn't count, but I needed to make up my half dozen :D

    ooo, thought of another one:

    7. Juiced enough apples for 3/4 gallon cider. Am going to try to make 12 gallons this year... only made about 8 or 9 last year, ran out a few weeks ago and have had to resort to bought cider. Cider is ridiculously cheap to make, only about 50p per gallon (about 11p per 500ml bottle), so will save a bit over the year.

  • Its great to see everyone doing well with the challenge even though i haven't been - LOL! Bit AWOL there for a few days - the old depression causing some problems for me this week :( i have been doing bits here and there but hopefully will be back up and at it again!

    So far today i have managed to do:

    1. Calculated my profits from ebay sales
    2. Resisted the temptation to spend my ebay earnings........so hard to do that!!
    3. Up'ed my woohoo gold stars to 134

    Ummm thats it for now hopefully i will add a few more later :)

    Oh thats great Rosie, thanks for joining with my link :) I should get a few points as you earn on the site too! It usually takes about 15 - 30 mins for updates to be added to your account via survey stuff and tasks i usually do a few searches or something like that while it updates - you do need to refresh your page to see the updates sometimes too! Hope you enjoy the site and do feel free to ask me anything :)
