Had a good spend at Boots, had £50 of vouchers, collared £20 from dad, at last he has finally seen the sense to buying in the 75% sale... I added £20, just under £90 and should have been £360.

Got mothers day sorted, my mates hubby and her 2 boys for xmas, got a wack of other presents to allocate - theres safe in the shed, done the list ready, need to update the xmas list 2mor. Should make a massive dent in the present buying. xx

Morning all

Up earlier today as DD got preschool later and DH had to go into work early. Well done to all getting bargains in Boots sale, I might pop into town later for a quick look if DH parcel has arrived.

Can someone refer me to maximiles?! (Think thats what its called). Haven't done any reviews, but ebay junk did well. Just got to post it all today..... think the money will be being paid off a monster credit card bill but will catch up next month

Hope everyone has a good day

Good idea Aspella about letting others know about SB and SP. I had another person join up with my referral yesterday so I have two now but the points go so slowly, hardly any vids on there and I am only getting 1 ot 2 points from spinning the wheel. The ones cashing out two or three times a month must have referred loads of people.

I much prefer SB, I have been trying to make at least 50 points a day on there if I can. I get the three points from doing daily poll and NOSO, then I check the vids and keep checking them through the day if I get a chance, also do a few searches through the day hoping to get another 20 points or so if I am lucky, then I try to make it up with the sbtv on in the evenings if I can. I dont always manage it as I have other things to do most days but if I am on the laptop anyway then I try. I dont really play the games much, there only seem two on there that I sort of like and I get bored with them easy lol.

Hope everyone is well and Elyssia has had a lovely birthday.

After no writing at all over Christmas and New Year it has finally started again this week so at least I know there is something coming in.

Not sure if I am doing the right thing but I am putting together a business plan with the local Enterprise group to set up as a company rather than just self employed. Not sure what difference that will make but it might work.

Hiya Legend, go to Earn, Special Offers, then select the SuperSonic tab and then select Videos. I have 18 to watch at the mo, some with 2pts some with 1, so am clicking away like mad, doing little jobs in between and earning quite a few points today . Hope it works for you too, good luck!!

ETA Congrats Mum2three, so glad it went well!!

Superpoints - You spin the wheel, and watch the videos If you check back several times a day, usually there's new ones (same as swagbks, Zooom and Maxi). You can also (just like swagbucks and zooom) work down the supersonic lists, matony and payment wall. There are things there that will earn you points if you click, there was a jobsite one for 9 points, and it took 10 seconds, there is a sim card you can apply for, it will earn you 50 points. I've not been completing any offers that cost me money, or I have to download anything - there are lots of things to do if you look.

You really do need to get referalls - I've been saying all along. You're saying Michelle and I must be getting to cashout because we have loads, which is sort of right. I have 9 referrals - some off here, and some from the referrers board. If you are only getting 2 or three points per day that means I'm only getting 2 or three points off you, so my points don't just come from my referrals as most them aren't even bothering. I have 7 referalls on SB's, but only one or two play everyday. Earning is not just down to doing searches, or referrals, it's a combination - but you also have to put the effort in.

Boat is redeeming on SB every week because she works hard at that one, Michelle is working hard at SP and is able to redeem every week there: whereas I'm plodding along trying to do a bit of everything to keep the redeems coming in regularly.

None of them take too long - even if you get no referrals you'll get to payout eventually, and as it only takes minutes per day it's worth it and it mounts up in the end. You have two choices - not bother and lose any potential earnings or stick with it, as every penny you earn is one extra penny saved for later. It's up to you.

Congrats Mum2three. Two of each - how lovely.

Pounds - thanks for helping.

Legend - get watching those vid's. Your points will shoot up then.

Sorry I had to edit - I came on here originally, to thank Claros for posting about the Alba trials. I got chosen for both of them. :beer:

I'm a bit miffed I had to go for the over 40's face cream though. :eek: I'd have rather gone for the 20-40 one. Being 42 probably had something to do with it. :rotfl:
