Gosh, you are all so motivating. Reading the posts earlier about review sites, I think that is something I could do and possibly enjoy, so if someone would like to refer me for a few that would be great, also possibly Toluna as that is one survey site that sounds good that I'm not on yet. Heres to a great and thrifty 2012!!

Rufus - where do you spend your luncheon vouchers? I've got a few but haven't used any yet - I've swapped to payment to paypal now.

Morning all, I am 29p off £90 on C so one more review and I have reached my target for the month so really pleased with that.

OH has managed to cable tie the light fitting and used araldite (sp?) to glue the piece of the wing back in so hopefully it will hold for a while.

Really can't be bothered with work this evening as I am working with a girl that has only been there a couple of weeks so she is pretty slow and doesn't know how to handle some of the residents just yet so it is gonna be a long tiring night!

I have worked out for all birthdays, xmas and all the xmas stuff in the sales (cards, wrappings etc) I need to save about £1200 over the year which is actually really quite scary but hoping by buying in the sales etc I won't need to spend this much - this is the list culled as much as I can!

Hope we are all doing well xx

Hi everyone. I would like to join you all again this year. Have pmed for new spreadsheet. Great info threads elysia. I fell by the wayside a bit from about September but still worth it. I had a really stressful full time job with a long commute but still managed £20-£50 a month with just a half hour to an hour surveying every couple of days. I tended to stick to certain sites which didn't throw me out or were quick surveys. So for those who work full time it's just a question of trying them all out and then sticking to a few which suit. BP also a good one for full time workers. I didn't really have the energy for the reviews but about to start new job so hope to do a few of those.

I usually give mine to YD then she used them when she is out and about, usually in McDonalds, then I put the money aside but you can use them in Tesco and other supermarkets. I have just used them at the till before along with my shopping.

Morning moneysavers, hope everyone is well.

Thanks Chel, think she enjoyed Christmas, by boxing day though she was getting very grizzly, just think the whole time was overwhelming wth visitors and mess. We are back to normal now and Tabi seems to have settled again. Not gonna bother doing anything for new year as we don't want to unsettle her and really can't be bothered!

With s & s it took a few weeks for them to get back to me, I then got an email and got all the equipment very easily. You just need to wait for a gap.

With pi*e co*e, I am receiving luncheon vouchers and struggling to spend them. How do you switch to receiving Paypal?

I had an email giving me the option after I'd been with them a bit. Have a look at your personal details to see if there's an option there or email them and ask to change and see what they say.

I've managed some surveys on T this morning and some on GTM as well.

Morning all! Just a quick question for Savvy or anyone else who is on Sony! What is going on with the point system now! I have completed loads this morning and only got 19 points! Have they changed it all again! I am so going to struggle t hit 50 points by tomorrow on 3 accounts if its only 1 point per quick thoughts and seems brainstorms dont get you any points? Anyone fancy giving me the low down?

Morning everyone and welcome back fellow "fallen by the waysiders" like me!!

I used to do Pinecone, nice easy surveys normally, but they got less and less and now I havent had one for months.

Made it into the Sales yesterday and spent £81 in Boots, I had got a £10 love to shop voucher so used that so spent £70ish and managed to make a massive hit in the Birthday and Mothers Day presents for the Year. Also got a few more presents for £18 in M&S and used a voucher so didnt pay anything in there

Because I am not so organised as you lovely people I think I am going to have to spend the money and then pay myself back with my earnings from Surveys and such IYSWIM. I suppose it doesnt matter if I do it that way round as long as money neutal is the result.

Have a good day everybody x
