    6. I made a huge pot of lentil soup - so economical and tasty too :)
    7. I sold 17 things on ebay today - whew thats a lot of packing to do tomorrow!
    8. completed training for a new MS assignment option
    9. booked a new MS assignment

    Although I haven't officially joined this thread, just reading it has given me some inspiration.

    I have vowed to at least attempt the surveys I get sent although I do get screened out a lot of them, I have re-joined T0luna after a long time and also the Mccain spuds thingy.

    Can you tell me a bit more about some of the other things you mention such as the b!ngo sites as I always thought you had to put money in before you could play on them, even the free games.

    Regards

    Hi there Emma, nice to hear that the thread is inspiring you :) we would be happy to have you onboard 'officially' you know ;) if you are not sure why not try to do just 1 thing a day to start with, you will soon get addicted too :rotfl:

    The free bingo one that i use is woohoobingo.com you don't pay for anything on there and can build up stars to get real prizes like vouchers etc :) I haven't had a chance to look at the other bingo sites yet though! LOL

    Hello ev1! Gosh what a busy day its been for me today, and i haven't even started my surveys etc yet :rotfl:

    Adding a few things to start me off today anyway:

    1. I completed 4 mystery shopping assignments today :D
    2. I bought 2 signed books at the charity shop - i don't know if they will make any money or not but i only paid £1 each for them so thought i would take the risk!
    3. I got some new Avon books to sort out and get out to my previous customers with fingers crossed they haven't gone elsewhere :eek:
    4. I sorted out some more things to go onto ebay while waiting for another free listing day ;)
    5. I sorted out £20 worth of change to lodge in my debt paying account

    Right then i'm off to do some more bits and bobs! I will be back to add everyones :) and my other steps - Rosie if it helps you with swags i will post what i do today?

    Hi Emma

    yes, you do have to pay to play some of the bingo sites. But if you go through cashback sites like quidco and topcashback, you will sometimes get your deposit back. What i did with JPJ and sun b1ngo, was to deposit my £10, play the free game and then withdraw my £10, but keep playing the free game. You do have to play some b"ngo games with your winnings otherwise they will not let you withdraw.

  • Just a quick note for dfw321 - checked out about 14 cds tonight on Music Magpie. It's strange - you're right, the newer, more popular ones tend to be about 30p and the older ones are more like £1.80 - £3.00.
