    Hi everyone,

    Sorry not been on in a while but have been lurking :D I wondered if anyone uses E-rewards (think that's what they are called) it says you need to be invited. i wandered if anyone could send me an invitation if it's possible.

    Also i wandered if anyone has any DU tips. I am doing reviews and trying to do a heap more this week and currently im on just under 14,000 points. How can i get this up?? I go and review everyone who does mine, I go onto new people, go through my circle every week and my points just don't seem to be adding up to much? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I really need to make money quick (within 4 weeks) our brakes just went on the car and it's my sons 6th birthday party at a soft play centre local to us. His invites are all ready sent and i am so worried that were not going to have the money to pay for it ... Eeekkk :eek:

    *hugs to everyone* x

    With DooU, I've tried a new way of rating today and it seems to work well. I was getting fed up of the number of new member reviews in the 'new reviews' section. Nothing against newbies, just that a lot of the reviews I was reading weren't very good and also many of the new members weren't rating back so it seemed a waste of time. Today I have deliberately searched for members who seem to spend a lot of time and effort on DooU as I figured there was a lot more chance of getting a return rate. I went to the DooU Community then clicked on 'writers and reviews'. I then went to 'members with most crowns' but you could also try 'most ratings made'. I only had time to rate 8 reviews in there, but only 2 hours later 6 of them had already returned the rates :D. For me, rating reviews like this will be much more time effective so I will continue like this.

    Thought i'd best check in - i'm suppose to be revising for my science exam tomoz and am doing everything but revising. tum te tum..

    another exam thurs and mon.....also got a module due in for my degree on 31st - i'm swimming at the gym on the way home as well to reduce stress other wise the kids will be shouted to death.. DD2 keeps following me round doing her tricky words and singing as she's too young to understand exams.

    even the ironing is looking more tempting than revising!!!

    Hi everyone. Sorry I can't catch up with posts.

    Having internet probs today. :( Most of the time, it's off, but when it's actually working it's going too slow and I keep getting timed out. Have only done two OP surveys today. SP has taken me ages, and no chance on Swag. I did managed to paste a review over on DoU earlier, and thats it - all day. :(

    Hopefully I'll be able to catch up properly tomorrow. I'll be back to check up on you all ;)

    Take care everyone - have a nice evening. Julie x

    No reply from the food diary so I will just do what was done before and put details on the back. I will split the people who have asked with Elysia. Is there anyone else either doing it that wants to refer or wants to be referred?

    I would love to be referred if possible.


    Still no Internet just jumped on here on my phone for a quick look at what everyone's doing. Hope the new router comes tomorrow as I stayed in all day waiting for it......
