    Hi Fairy
    Yes I will give it a go. I am not very good with the site though as the only thing that seems to add bucks are the videos.
    Rosie x

    hmmmm i wonder why thats happening!! Do you do the daily poll? and the NOSO? they credit everytime for me. The searches you need to do maybe 3 or 4 before it credits or more sometimes on a bad day. I can always manage to earn 2 lots of points on this.

    How about we aim for an average of 50 points a day on the site? That should be doable! So by the end of next tuesday we should have 350 extra points. I suggest we post what we have done (if i do this it should help you to learn how to use the site better too :) )

    If anyone else wants to join in then feel free of course :D

    If you are not using swagbucks yet and want to join please ask for someone to refer you because extra points can be earned for referring :)

    Swaggers challenge day 1

    searching #1 - 7sb
    daily poll - 1sb
    NOSO - 2sb
    sb TV #1 - 3sb
    games #1 - 2sb
    games #2 - 2sb
    games #3 - 2sb
    games #4 - 2sb
    games #5 - 2sb
    sb TV #2 - 3sb
    sb TV #3 - 3sb

    Today i completed a task called answer a few questions about a website (i don't often do tasks these days but thought i would for this wee challenge just so i can show you different ways to earn!) 30 sb


    So thats 59/350 so far :) will probably get some more later with searching cos only got 1 lot of sbs for this at the mo.

    Thats me at 623 sbs today.


    My tips

    * log into swags site before any of the others you use, type the name of other sites in the search box, visit your site and do whatever you do, once finished go back to swags page and search again for the next site you do (it doesn't need to be different sites all the time to earn) - you can earn random amount of sbs twice a day by doing this.

    * for NOSO just click on link in sidebar, click on red button to start, each page with an offer on it go to the bottom of the page and click on skip or next offer button, end page just type the words in the box

    * sb TV - open a new page, go to sb TV page, click on any vid, let it play while you do something else on the other page (my fav thing is to do a survey on other page, or to do the sb games) every few questions go to swags page and click on new vid. You should see the meter going up - earn 3 sb for every 10 vids you let play

    * games - if you are using chrome close the message about difficulties, Click on play now for whatever game you want to play (i play zip zap but i think it works the same for other games too), choose play for free,
    play the game - don't worry about getting good scores but you do need to play a bit at least, at the end of the game submit the score as a guest - DO NOT create an account for game scores. You will earn 2sb for every 2 games you play (it might skip paying sb out if you aren't actually playing the game for long enough). You will earn a max of 10sb a day for this.

    * check trusted surveys page - for quick 1 sb if there is a survey choose none of these option on screening questions. Otherwise complete the survey if you can - it will give you a great boost in points. Points will not be added straight away.

    * tasks - I don't do too many of these - some of them are really dull and long. Its worth having a wee read through them to see if its something you wouldn't mind doing. open the task and see how many pages there are and how many times you have to do it. If its too many, or the instructions are hard to understand then skip it. Once you do a few you are happy to complete you will be able to keep an eye out for those ones again in future. Points will not be added straight away.

    Yesterday, applied for jobs and sent a cheque to Virgin CC as part payment to clear the debt (mum gave me £2K as a gift, she will pay the remainder next month which is £2115.26 then it has gone). In an attempt to get debt free, my parents have given me tons of food and offered me a bed so that I can put my stuff into storage and go back home to live with them.

    Today, admittedly dealt with a vile man on the phone (look matey you cannot have what I haven't got:mad:), rang up about a cleaning job - may or may not get a call this afternoon (not holding breath) as I went to their offices today and was told that the job had been offered to someone this morning who would let them know by 4.30 today. Looked for work, posted an ebay sale item, made 25p on a card purchased from an art shop as she undercharged me:cool: Booked a hair appointment for next week (mum and dad have paid for me to have my hair done).

    Did a pyne kone survey to net me £3 and a Valued Opinions one to net me £1.50. Must remember to update my blogs and add banners because I know that I have a banner for a survey company amongst other people and hopefully people will start buying and I can earn some commission from doing nowt.

    Oh fingers crossed for the job!! you never know :) and well done for getting all that done today :) you must be delighted to get your cc paid off - parents are great (at times anyway :) ) I don't know where i would be without mine at the minute!

    .
    So I have had a really good day but after 2 glasses of wine and an Irish coffee I can hardly keep my eyes open. So its of to bed I go.
