I still do McCains and get 90 points per week so can claim a £5 voucher every 6 weeks but I'm saving points up for a different voucher. 30 points from the games, 10 points from recipe and 50 points for pressing the twitter symbol. One week I do it on Monday, then the following week I do it on Tuesday because I don't think the limit resets immediately all the time - think bank holidays have an impact.

Thank you for the help as I didn't know about some of that. How do you get points from recipes?

4 in the morning is not good! please go back to sleep baby!

Mccains is a thing run bu mccain the chip people and you earn shillings for clicking on stuff. not sure can do a link but google mccain shillings and sign up, will just check now in case there is a referral scheme.

Doesn't seem to be a referral scheme!

Another review done this morning so 8/20 done. Think I will go through my Dooyoo reviews and see if there are any that might be first reviews on C that I havent copied over yet and do them.

Forgot to add, thanks for the tips on McCains too Aspella, I tried them out using IE instead of Firefox and the points added this time. I am not sure what voucher to get though yet.

What an awful nights sleep, will try and get a nap later if i can.

Got my first E on chow, not sure it was necessarily deserved but very happy.

Hope you are all ok, and have a succesful money making day.

Have just put my last review on for the 5 for £7 offer on chow and have at least helpful so am pleased wth that. Have emailed them with all the titles so hopefully will get an extra £7 at some point.

Have now got 10 reviews on so have beaten my target but didn't realise I would enjoy it so much, have 2 more drafts done but will now need to think of some more ideas.

Advice needed: How long does it take for surveys to be credited to Toluna?

I have complete 7 surveys so far and none have credited. Some of those were at the beginning of January. I loathe to do any more as if they are not crediting then I do not want to waste the time on them. It's very frustrating as I need 1,800 points to redeem and if they credited my surveys I could redeem and be half way to my next one.

Wishing everyone a productive day.

So here's where I'm at with this months challange

1. For Review Writers - Declare how many reviews you would like to post this month. How and where should I start... as a novice best sites to join, easiest to follow to get me started etc


2. For Everyone - Make a special effort on Tolun@ (or any site you wish). Do sponsored and quick surveys daily, and attempt every survey you are invited to (not just the high paying ones). Make an effort to write your own polls and opinions (100 points each), and answer other peoples (where you will be paid 100 points if your reply is over 80 words). So far I have responded to every survey email invitation I have received and have made a conscious effort to look out for surveys, polls etc. Any tips for creating my own polls, or is it just a case of pick a subject and go for it


3. Make a special effort to use as many coupons/special offers as you can, and put the savings you’ve made to one side for Christmas Food/Treats etc. Perhaps buy some Christmas savings tokens/stamps with it, so you can’t be tempted to dip into the cash. You can find the discount codes and vouchers board here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38 Will have a look at vouchers and work out whats needed for my next big shop, I have started an Asda Savings card so what ever I save on coupons at the till I am going to put straight onto the card at the same time

4. Now for something a bit different - as it’s been a long, dark winter, and with Valentines this month - make some time to love yourself too. Enjoy a little ’me’ time and have a treat that doesn’t cost anything. Read a book you bought a while ago but didn‘t get around to, have a long, luxurious soak (no kids allowed), Google recipes for a face mask/foot soak/body scrub using ingredients in your kitchen cupboards, or get OH to give you a relaxing massage. Anything! Just as long as you don’t spend any money on it. I have lots of lotions and potions for hair, skin, hands, feet etc and they rarely get used plan is to set aside a few hours an have a mini pamper session all to myself, throw in a book or good movie too
