Hi all I managed to write another review ready to go on tomorrow and just trnsfered one from DY to C. I have been so lazy this week so must do better this one. My balance did not go up on C not even for 2 reviews I added yesterday confused me a little but only had 4 E's so was not really expecting anything.

Going to do some more rating but it is sooooo quiet on d lots seem to be posting but no one rating:( might have a look around see what i can suggest before tomorrow. xx

Right - for those of you who can't complete the ebay challenge. Do you have any books that you don't want? They don't tend to do very well on ebay.

Savvy has suggested trying to sell them on fatbrains.co.uk - you type in the number on the back of the book, and they tell you how much it's worth. Then you print out a barcode, and send them off freepost. They send you a cheque back.

She also suggested another company called Zapper - none of my books were wanted on fatbrains, but they've done really well on this company.

It's worth a try - go for it.

This sounds good. I've sold a few on Green Metropolis but it can take ages before they sell and they go in dribs and drabs. Must have a look.

Did a mystery shop exercise yesterday, so another £20 made.

Evening all, not much going on tonight so just been doing some rating, I always though the PF was for the previous month too but could be wrong. Must try and write some reviews this week or I am going to run out of ones to copy over, at £35 on c and £19 on dy so could do with a push although on average I need to make £100 per month and so far this month with tomoros C money I have made £106 so a little ahead of myself.

Have book the holiday this evening so need to make as much as I can so normal money can be saved for holidays rather than presents.

Hope everyone is doing well xx

Hi chaMichelle97 - (positive I haven't remembered your user name right sorry!) - yes fairly slow on dooyoo compared to the 'olden days'. Think people seem fed up with the plagiarised reviews at the moment but maybe once all the newbies have settled down, it'll be back to normal? On 22000 at the moment, started on 28th December. I had a look where I am for 'rating' people and I am just on the top of page 2 so I have been quite busy.

I'm opening bets on when I will get my first crown. Been a member almost 3 years and written 126 reviews, 2 of which I felt were crown worthy (the rest aren't) yet nothing wonder if I'll be their longest ever member without a crown ?? LOL

Anyway, been doing well on the site that shall not be named (see first post) but getting overexcited and losing all my points oops. Oh well!

Has Chow got a cash-out limit? Still got £13 there at the moment

Chow is £5 cashout I think hun

Tonight tables have turned got 30 odd rates on dooyoo but rated all 7 pages on Chow and got 13 back hmmm lol xxx

Argggghhhh haha sorry not having a good day today and to top it off my boyfriend put some items On my eBay and they finnished today so he put them back on but changed prices but didn't check the emails I had on there so I went on and had 2 emails about the jeans he was selling not impressed at all!! As one was someone saying if I'd have bothered to reply to email I wouldn't have had to relish them so he is in my bad books and I've been screened out of every survery today although did manage to sell a hat for 15 so that's not bad!! Hope everyone day has been better than mine


Also how do I change my signature on here please I can't seem to find it!!
