    Hello everyone!

    Ive been AWOL as it was Pips 3rd Birthday, took him to build a bear and he loved it :-)

    I sold 1 thing on Amazon and another on Ebay, 2 things end tomorrow and both have 10 watchers so I am hoping they get bidding soon! SBs still coming on nicely and I love Vista, makes it so much easier to have lots in one place. Getting fed up with Tol una as it seems to be taking forever, there surveys take so long and you dont seem to get very good point amounts, think probably better directing my time elsewhere once I am back to work. SP is slow too as I have no friends, Elysia I did really well on the spinny thing this morning think I got about 30 points so you will have a bit of a boost when you log in next!

    Have a good evening everyone x x

    Well done on the sales PipsMum. I do Toluna and find it really good. I do the quick polls and sponsored polls etc and quite a few times they take you to a survey too. I check it a few times a day to see if there are any new ones. I have had at least one £15 voucher every month for well over a year now. They dont add on the survey points until they finish getting all the results in etc so sometimes it takes a while but then they might add loads of points in one go. I had over 50,000 points added last week in one day, and then another 30,000 today all from surveys that I had done over the last few months.

    Thanks Rufus, will stick with it then. Maybe once I get a few of them add on I will feel a bit happier! I did do them ages ago and got a Sainsburys voucher but it took forever to get. Will definately stick it out, as those are some fab amounts you are getting x

    Yes well worth it, they didnt add many points over the holiday period so that might be why they added a big chunk last week. I was only on about 20,000 and now I have redeemed again and its back up to 20,000 again.

    Pips mum its not just you who struggles with it I have many a time. When I did put the effort in for a few months last year I got a couple of redeems but then I gave in. On 63000 so giving it a good push on there this month.

    * forgot to mention I got a shiny hat today. The first in a while makes it all worthwhile so pleased - its the small things!

  • Lots of posts since I was last here!! Well done on the effort everyone, doing fantastically :)

    I haven't been on the laptop the last couple of days so I really need to up my game. No real plans for the rest of the week so I should have a decent chance to get some done before the mania that is next week, (wee one starts nursery and I get the books through for my course I shall be completing along with my current OU course. I must be crazy!) I also had my job interview yesterday so fingers crossed something comes of that but we'll see.

    Off to find some surveys I might have a chance at completing, I haven't been getting through to many the last week.

    Legend thanks for the group hun. Just a thought on your missing sun voucher, have you thought of popping into a local pub they usually have the papers or the barbers?
