Afternoon all, just a quick pop in, iv just been on the next sale site and they seem to have put a lot more items on there. Managed to get ds school shoes in next 2 sizes and dd boots for next winter. Also sandals for this summer for her! May be worth a look!

Thanks Foxy - I posted that they had put more stuff on yesterday, but I didn't actually have any time to look. It's quieter today, with people going back to work, so I'll head over there now.

I've just had a couple of redeems come through, just waiting on a couple more vouchers through the post, and one from Viva in the next couple of days.

Surveys are keeping me busy today, but I'll have to find time to write a review at some point too (thanks Cornish). Having posted about Rufus's username this morning, I remembered there was a big hoo hah this time last year, about dooU and clicking cartels, so If you want to know someone's username, can you pm them? It will keep all names of this thread, and no-one will be any the wiser ifyswim.

I'm coming out of lurkdom. Have been a member of most of the mentioned survey sites for a couple of years but never thought to make a note of how much I've received from them.
Going to make a determined effort with ebay as well this year. Have a lot of items in the spare room that need dealing with.

Well done Smartcat - you are most welcome, we'd love to have you join in. As you know what you are doing, I can send you a copy of the spreadsheet to keep track, and also a list of all the survey sites I'm on. Most of them you will be on already, but there may be a few you haven't heard of. Could you pm me your email address? Don't worry - I'll delete it afterwards.

Thanks Elysia I am rosaliecullen6 over there - had a Twilight fad when I signed up for dooyoo and thought it best to keep the same name to be recognised on Ciao. Regretting it now of course as I can't bear Twilight haha!

I will have a look into the Formatting, thank you

That's great JamTart. I'll got look for you in a sec. It's great that you have older reviews that you can paste over. That's what Rufus did. You can get the best out of the promotions then. I've done loads of book reviews for chow - but they are only worth 10p on DooU at the moment, so I'll keep them there until the levels get swapped on DooU. That way we can all get the most money from them.

How did you get back on BP? I thought you all got banned? I've tried getting back on but it won't allow me.

jamtart6

Do levels get swapped on Dooyoo now? that is good, hard to keep reviewing kitchen appliances for 600 points!

not sure to be honest, just logged in and there was my account.

Good afternoon

Don't get too close *cough cough* I am pooooorly

I have filled out the spreadsheet, but it looks a little bare! . Could I please have a copy of the survey/review sites please, so I can sign up for a few more.

I hope everyone is lookng forward to 2012 and thinking about their new years resolutions:p

Evening all, hope your all ok and have your spreadsheets in check and have joined some of the sites ready for the new year. Will you be doing the January challenge soon Elysia? I won't be carrying on with money making until the weekend but hope to squeeze in some more earnings for this month if I can.

Just a quick note to say I have received my extra 2200 points from S&S today. I usually swap my S&S for next vouchers to use in the sale to buy dd's clothes, just spent £160 and another £60 of vouchers worth to kit her out next year I think I am going to faint! I will have enough after next week to redeem £30 of vouchers so that will be a kickstart to the clothing fund.

The thread is moving too fast for me so I wont be posting as much until it quietens down, hopefully the moneymaking wont dwindle because of it.

Really want to join in, but very worried I won't have the time for surveys etc. Working F/T and have a lot of other stuff one. Any suggestions as to quick wins on this?! Thanks x
