I've been trying to do c and dy reviews, I have managed to set 2 files up of reviews ready to drop across when I get writers block! Back to the OU again next week.... no peace for the wicked.

Hope everyone getting sorted for mothers day - not till the 18th, (no need to panic yet!!) xx

I'm struggling massively to find time this week. I got 2 new reviews written today - worth 60p plus rates on dy, and one lot of 50p for ciao. I need to get my backside organised. I want to have a big push so I can have some time off over Easter when the kids are off if I can. I am so tired all the time, and I think I need it. I'm at £43 on d again, so I want to push that and get cashed out at £75 if I can so it can go off my credit card. It's hard keeping motivated as I feel so skint all the time, and it doesn't seem to be making us any richer. It must be making some difference, but it is hard to see the woods for the trees.

I've got an opinion topic on tolly if anyone can comment on it for me to take me over payout there. I need some amazon vouchers to try and sort out DS2's birthday in May. The weeks are disappearing. I'm about 6000 away from getting a voucher on there.

I'm rating as much as I can, but it never seems like it is quick enough. I've worked on the laptop while watching a film with DH tonight.

arrrghhh my email has been playing up this week and after finally getting it sorted I have plowed through the 198 emails to find not one survey still active :mad:

Morning everyone

I've been at Center Parcs all week so have just caught up on a weeks worth of posts. Thankfully it seems to have been rather quiet or I'd never have caught up!

Today I am going to write a few Chow reviews for the 50p promo. I want to make the most of it this month in case next month's promo is rubbish!

I just checked my Ebay items. I have 6 things ending tomorrow - 2 have bids on and all have watchers. A boy's body warmer I'm selling has 9 watchers and a tankini has 6 watchers. I hope they turn to bidders soon! To quote Miss Hoodie - it's not watchers we want, it's bidders

hello all - apologies that i have been lurking rather than chatting. I just don't seem to be organised. I've been really low and finally picked up the courage to get some tablets from the doctors today to boost the start of a long overdue weight loss. I'm hoping this will give me a motivational push. I have started swimming etc and managed to lose 5lbs without changing anything else.
I've invested in a slow cooker which is fab from ff points, i'd lost my password so had over 7000. DD1 also needed a duvet inner so got that too, As i'm very broke this is all lifting my mood. Cashed in my welcome to ss for a cd the girls asked for for ages which i could not justify buying so they are smiling to and halfway to another already
a bit late in the day but the only way is up!!

Please can people PM me their c dy names or is there a list as i am not reviewing. Note this is something alien to me and is taking me a while to get into!

Hi all been very quiet on here, sorry. Busy busy busy. doing really well on most sites ets. Everyone is doing so well. Question for anyone who searches using SB, how on earth do you get 50+ SB? I get 8 or 10 occassionally but never 50 or 59, has anyone twigged what prompts that type of payout?

Even better when it doesn't have the taste of pennies, I love our slow cooker.

(bit cryptic) - go via the thriftygifty facebook group, there is a document there!!

Just that before when there was a bingo promo and we all put on user names on the thread, it resulted in a mass kick off of the bingo site, xx

I have no idea!! To be honest I think it is just totally random. I have had 16 sb for searching cupcake recipes and 10 for searching random letters! I have found no pattern at all to what gets bucks and what doesn't.

odd really, I tend to spend 5 or 10 minutes looking thru the bbc website for names and get 1 or 2 hits that way but otherwise I haven't a clue how it works, do you think because its american then the american news might get a few hits?

I got 40SBs the other day for searching the first thing that came into my head...................Hippos! I never seem to win on an actual search but if I type in random words I seem to win 10SBs!
