    Don't you just love how oh takes no interest in your moneymaking/saving or complains that you are forever on the laptop and then looks at you in disbelief when you tell them you made £100 today. Yeah that happened to me yesterday!
    Don't think he'll be so quick to complain next time!

    I know exactly what you mean although I don't let on now what I am making as it will all be spent before I get it if I do. I find I can save it up to pay for presents to come etc if I keep it to myself. OH can't save a penny, it burns a hole in his pocket.

    The only thing my oh knows is that the money i'm making has been paying for presents, he doesn't know how much i'm making he just knows there is a stash of presents under the bed!! At over £50 on c this morning, the last of my 5 reviews has been added so hoping the £7 bonus goes on quickly. If I get £55 off c then that is everything paid for up to the 5th of June which is my daughters birthday although I have already got some things put away for her but would like to be able to give her a birthday party too so need to keep going with the reviews for the extra cash. Hope c has another good promo next month

    But look at it this way, ok you haven't redeemed in Feb, but ur have a head start in March.

    Hope everything settles down soon, and you take things easy. xxx

    Morning all

    I am winding down on the reviews for this month now, have done all that I wanted to do and pleased with the results. I have one more suggestion waiting to go on C but I think I will redeem on there today and then any extra will start me off for next time.

    Had a few surveys later on yesterday. Had some points added on T, close to a redeem on there, will be the first month I havent redeemed unless they add a few more.

    OH is out today so I might go and do a bit more sewing instead of sitting on here all day. Just getting SP and SB done early out of the way.

    Catch you all later, Rufus xx

    Edit to add, C have added my review and T has added some points so I have been able to redeem on there too.
  • Afternoon! Gosh today was a mission!
    Went to the council and made them let me see someone instead of fobbing me off.
    Hopefully it sounds promising and rent will be paid! phew.


    Got another £3 luncheon vouchers aswell as a paypal payment. must have messed up there on Pcon£.

    35 points away from redeem on Ips0s and VO will get a redeem soon! woohoo. xx

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Hiya, just a quick question lol! Am I right that reviews need to be minimum of 120 words for C and 150 words for DY?? Do you need people to 'rate' your reviews to earn or do you get points just for submitting?

    TIA
    Sadie xx

    Hi Sadie, yes you are correct about the word rate, on dy you get paid 10p, 30p or 60p for the actual review but on c you don't get paid for the actual review unless there is a special promo on.

    Just cashed out on viva just a shame it takes so long to get the money. Joined up to fab bingo today and won £10 so ended up £20 up but won't add that to my totals until it hits the bank
