Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh, I think I may be addicted to RewardTV! Just sepnt about an hour on there when I really should be cleaning!
Already up to 30,000 points which is awesome. I dont understand the shopping spree thing though can anyone explain it better as at the minute it looks like I will never be able to redeem them????

Thanks Elysia, didn't want to miss out if it was just me being blind.

Just redeemed on SB, only did it last about 3 weeks ago so pleased with that. Since finding the videos to watch on the supersonic bit i have made 200 sb in 2 days and you don't even need to watch the, I just load as many as i can at once and let them play and just open another Tab.

Thanks for the referral pip's mum, have just joined populsive

Thanks It really does make me feel better hearing from people who have had a tear first time then everything fine second time. Nobody I know has had even a little tear (lucky things!) so I have nobody in 'real life' to ask!

Just getting to grips with the money saving ideas and click thrus when i came across your comment.
My two births where as different as you can get, i had low aminotic fluid [15%] since four months and then found a heart problem so was induced and had pain killers etc so if needed she could be whipped out so to say, was torn [or cut] can't remember now but it went so fast that when it came to my second i did not even know what labour pains where LOL! Second one was due on xmas eve and popped out in Jan meaning no drinks over Xmas which i reminds her about and she replies that she was making the most of the warmth inside me! Not to be out done she was all for me having a c section but the ventouse sorted here out at the last minute.
Both are complimented on how bonny they are and above average at school, they are sat here eating and watching Shrek 2!

I am off to have a good look at the challenge but have decided the 1st is when I start going at it along with the diet and a painting certain rooms in the house! Connor isnt back to school till the 10th but will then be mornings so 3 hours of peace instead of 2 which is nice!

Hi everyone!
Lurked for a bit last year but then things went mad busy with a house move so everything kinda fell by the wayside!!! Am hoping to keep up this year and also find time to post. Am already a member of a few survey sites, swag, maxi, McCain but always looking for extras!!! What is Sony???
Am working a 12 1/2 hour night shift tonight so might not be too focused tomorrow for money making, but I'll try anyway!
Elysia, I know you've been inundated with requests buy could you pls PM me the spreadsheet when you get the chance hun, I'll PM u my email add in a mo.
Might not get back on before tomorrow, so happy new year all & here's to making money in 2012!

Pips mum - don't put too much effort into Reward TV just yet.

For the shopping spree, you see the time of it on the site. Say it's 1pm, you watch the time countdown, and then a button appears at the right time. Another page opens and you add all your details where it has to be posted to. I don't even get to fill in my details before they are all claimed - my internet is too slow (I only have 10 whatever it is - the best on Virgin is 50) so I'm not fast enough.

It might be better (if your connection is slow like mine) just playing along and going for the auctions - but you need millions of points for those. It's easy enough and fun, but you won't really get a lot for your time if you see what I mean.

Bevally - Lovely to see you again hun. PM me, I'll send it straight away.

Don't you worry about trying to do it all, with work and everything. Just do your best - that's all anyone can ask.

Well, I've thought of one thing to eBay at least. It's been a long while since I listed anything so can anyone tell me if Boden or similar clothing for kids still sells ok? Used to sell well...

I've been asked about the bonus ball competitions on cashback sites so thought I'd post about them on here as some of you might find it useful. You have to be an active member - I just do the daily clicks which are few and far between and come and go. You can earn more if you do the no purchase offers i.e. request brochure, sign up to newsletters. The sites mentioned below are all free to join and don't charge an admin fee however it can take between 2 and 3 months for clicks to confirm.

Getpoundsback - Wed bonus ball competition, pick a number between 1 - 49 on forum. Minimum prize £2.50 goes up every week until won. (Prize doubles if you have earnt £5 in last 30 days).
Payment threshold: £10 Bacs, Paypal. Daily clicks: 25p

Crunchcashback - Sat bonus ball competition, pick a number between 1 - 49 on forum. Minimum prize £2.50 goes up every week until won. (Prize doubles if you have earnt £3 in last 30 days).
Payment threshold: £5 Bacs, Paypal. Daily clicks: 7p

Cashbackxtreme - Wed & Sat bonus ball comp, pick a number between 1 - 49 on forum. Minimum prize £5 goes up every week until won. Spot prize - post any where on the forum and you could win 20p. There are 3 x 20p random prizes per day and I usually win 1 per week.
Payment threshold: £15, Bacs, Paypal, Cheque. Joining bonus: £2.50 Daily clicks: 5p

Themoneybacksite - Sat bonus ball comp, pick a number between 1 - 49 on forum. Minimum prize £5 goes up every week until won.

Loyaltyshopper's weekly competitions.

• Sat bonus ball comp, pick a number between 1 - 49 on forum. Minimum prize £2.50 plus further £5 if you've made a purchase.
• Participate in the word games on the forum and you could win £1
• Predict football scores for various football matches and you could win £2 if you are top of the leader board. I know nothing about football and stick to 1-1 for all matches and have won a few times.

Payment threshold: £30 if you get the starter bonus and £15 for subsequent requests. Starter bonus: £10 but you have to complete 3 out of 5 offers on the day you sign up. Daily clicks: approx 10p if you just stick to the searches.

If you've never used a cashback site then have a read of Martin's article for the pros and cons.

Thanks so much Aspella - I'm a member of the top three, but if you still have my pm, could you refer me to the bottom one? I'd really appreciate it.

I'm just popping out for an hour. I'll be back later.
