Hey everyone!

Not posted for ages but still plodding along with the money making. My Ebay things are not doing great and my surveys have dried up a bit again as I didnt have time to do a few hoping they will build up again soon though.

Have a great weekend x x

Pips Mum, I find the surveys come in fits and starts. I get a run of them from one company and then they seem to dry up and then I get a run from another company. I went months with none from YG, then had about £15 worth in a couple of weeks but they have stopped again. Ip*os I hadn't had any for months on end then had quite a few over the last few weeks again. Only one I find is really regular is Tol. I can usually find a couple to do on there most days.

I got to payout on Maxi yesterday, taken ages to work up to 3000 which is just a £10 payout, I know every little helps but this seems to be taking too long to do now they have cut back on the videos, plus I don't seem to be getting many surveys from them anymore, just the odd one now and then.

It's ages since I've posted on here, too. I feel like I've spent all of today rating on DY & chow - a bit of an exaggeration! Just about to cash out on chow @£20 so pleased with that. xx

Sounds like Sw**b*cks i about as slow as Z**mbcks is at the moment. Very few videos. I keep thinking about quitting that one. From what I can gather the 2 sites have similar videos etc. You can get Amazon evouchers in US$ on Z.

Gosh it has gone so quiet on this thread, where is everybody? I guess it doesn't help when things like SwagBucks are not providing the earning potential anymore like they were a few months back . Anyone still doing SuperPoints? PM me if you want to join, I have a referral code for 25pts for both of us . Getting through my clicks most days, sometimes delegate to one of the kids whilst I do something more productive, like cooking dinner . They went from 30 a day to 100 to 200, all from the beginning of this year! Getting close to another payout, yay . Anyway, keep up the good work if you're reading this and good luck to all .

Perhaps a bit of a glitch on SuperPoints today? I had 200 clicks available to me this morning. Clicked my way through the first 100 and then the screen said I had 100 of 200 clicks left, but underneath it said 'Sorry, you have run out of clicks for today.' Oh well, will see what tomorrow brings .

Yesterday evening I was able to do another 100 clicks, so did get 200 in total for the day, weird! Today things are back to normal, just 100 clicks to do. Did anyone else have extra clicks at all or was it just me?

We are around poundinbucks, been a bit of a busy time for most of us I think, I haven't been well and with uni courses and money making I don't have a lot of time to post on here.

Thursday was a promotion on superpoints for double the usual amount of spins... not that I got that many from them lol.

Not much to update here, bought another present for dd's christmas presents, an innotab for £54 after discounts and quidco factored in. Thats her pretty much sorted this year, I have about £100 in mothercare/elc vouchers for a kitchen and play food and £40 in toys r us which will buy either storio books or innotab games etc. Just the Disney Christmas PJ's and an outfit for Christmas and then that's her done.

Ummm spent a fortune getting the car fixed for MOT, but on the bright side that is absolutely everything sorted with it and it's a reliable car. Now I'm concentrating on making enough money to carpet the hallway and bedroom and then enough for a holiday as dd's nursery wont allow us to take her out of nursery for a holiday when she starts in Sept so a deposit for that would be fantastic.

Bit all over the place at the moment.. hope everyone else is doing well, have we all been making lots of money this month?

It has become very quiet, I think a lot of people have lost their mojo I Know i have this month! Work has been really hard with a lot of changes afoot - there have been lots of meetings and its taken a lot out of me. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and I will get back to money making ways in May. I really need to start denting the overdraft :-(
Fortunately I have made enough money in the first three months to fund my son's birthday with all his presents bought, and also for me to go on a girlie weekend in May and the family holiday to Cornwall in June so I'm not panicking yet!
I'm still ebaying, not really got too much to sell at the moment, but am using the free listing weekends to relist what has already gone on and I might take some pictures and write some listings up this afternoon ready for the next one. I figure if I sell at least one item from the relist it is one less thing in the house!
We have had a couple of pay outs just recently - the shower and vacuum broke so have had to pay for new parts, although oh has managed to fix the vacuum himself.
There is a new bingo site I might consider joining up to but not till next month, I like Rufus have played through all the bonus money and not really won a lot in April, and frustratingly items haven't tracked on Quidco either so I've got a couple of claims going through too. I will get paid out from them this month, and am determined that May will be different! Got to pay out at the dentist on Wednesday and also ds needs new school shoes - argh it never ends!

Hi everyone, have been doing lots of reviews and rating and lots of SB and SP. Had loads of surveys too this last week, it has kept me busy. OH is off this weekend which is nice.

Sorry I have not been having time to pop in either. I have had so much to do and not enough time. This time of year is always busy anyway - stuff like opening new ISAs.

I've also been doing loads of knitting as my mum asked me to make two cot size blankets for someone she knows. I'm being paid, not a lot but a bit, but it is really really time consuming.

We've also been trying to get the garden veg patch sorted for the summer.

I don't know how I used to do all this stuff and work. It is getting harder I swear.
