how do you get on the forums please??? do you have to do the surveys 1st then get invited???

Yes, I've got invited to participate through surveys, but the 2 I've been on have both been through toluna. It's nice when you get one and a good amount boost too.

just wondering does everyone use a diary???? im guessing to record what money theyve made etc

Lemmings ...
in answer to your question ... I use several "types"

a) A good old fashioned A5/A4 day to a page jobby ... Line down middle - LH Side I list any money earned (eg £7 MS/Company/due) - RH Side I list any payments due to be paid (including wages etc)
At the bottom I also list any outgoings due out.
This is my "back-up" incase my pc has a hissy - but I also use it to check I've not missed anything when updating my spreadsheets :cool:

b) A spreadsheet for each company / Site - listing each task / job etc, the amount (points or pennies) and when due for payment / Redeeming.

c) An income forecast spreadsheet - wot it says on the tin really -
1 page for each month plus an annual overview one. This is worked from the two above.

d) Similar to "C", I also have a cashflow one which sumarises money in & out each month - an expected column & an actual column. Then I can see where I need to tweek budgets.

I also have a couple of others that do variations on the spreadsheets. May sound tedious to some, but works for me. Hope that helps :A

you are not alone in doing this lemmings. I know several msers who do exactly the same thing, and it really works! And what they love the most, when they go to the envelope and there is money left over, for whatever reason they managed to save money :money:

Well done to everyone who has carried on making cash over the festive period!

I'm just checking in to say "hellooo". I'm not making any cash, BUT, i am trying SO SO hard not to go and spend any money! Caved in today and HAD to go to Mr T's for bread and milk. Needed potatos too and managed to pick up some bags that were reduced from £1 odd down to 38p I also managed to resist going down the "sale" bit which believe me, is a HUGE acheivement!

Bye for now.... Keep on going!

Just at my Grandmother's exchanging presents, she gave a £30 book token. :jGiven how much I spend on books that's practically cash to me so I'm adding that to my total. This brings me over my target for the month:D, so will have to see how much I can get as a total.

I also got an extra present.... my Mum and I both bought her the same book:rotfl:so Mum gave me the copy she had bought as an early birthday present, rather than sending it back. It is convienent when you like the same type of books as your family.
