Thanks I hadn't spotted that yet. Some mileage then for me keep going with books and some toys. We seem to have some no-one has reviewed. I'm not going to go too mad though, as I wrote loads of first reviews last time, and presumably any rates there count too.

I added up all of my items in Decembers accounts, and it added up to the total including the £40 extra this morning, so looks like some error adding it up last month, and that is what it is. I made £195 on c last month. Only cashed out £151 though. Wish I had known there would be more to come.

Wow what a great amout £195 is to make, hope many reviews do you do a day to get that amount of money and is that the sort of money you get each money.

Sorry for all the questions, just getting my head around it all :rotfl:

Hi all, last call for s&s, did mine earlier. All decs down and lounge back to normal. Had a lovely stew and dumplings for tea, leftovers from yesterday, have got a day of ironing planned tomorrow, and our fb selling page will be back up and running. I've got a boxful of stuff to put on there or eBay, including some doctor who pics and a rug which I think will sell well. My ds has decided he wants a football themed bedroom instead!
I have been reading and catching up again, so many new names!
We also won £10 on last nights lotto do that is going on the spreadsheet!
The sun £9.50 tokens start next week, a great cheap hol option for anyone on a budget!

too slow again :rotfl:think i will give up lol. I have just written a review to go on tomorrow and may even risk 1 more for the day after while I am in the mood and everyone is in bed so I have peace.

I feel lost with no surveys normally complete at least 1 a day but as it is so quiet think I am having withdrawels :cool:xx

That was for 108 reviews. I had a big headstart as I had 70 already written on dy which I saved to copy across.

I normally get somewhere between £40-75 from there per month for about 10-15 reviews. Some months I can be a lot more bothered than others.

dy i am fairly consistent with putting up about 5 per week. I made £330 from there in 2011. It's not huge money unless you put in mega hours. I had it on several hours a day during December, but I wanted the cash so I just kept at it.

you have to get the balance between people rating you and people thinking you are taking the mick. the days i put 5 on, I wasn't getting as many rates on the 5, so say i got 100 rates shared over 5 reviews, whereas I could post 3 and get 100+ rates. But as i was going for the 50p per review promo, it didn't matter in January.

i am getting there very slowly with the surveys and havent really got in to the reviews but they sound very popular and provide the most money. I have registered for a few surveys and it doesnt state anyway to get the surveys from does this mean they will email them

Thanks for the list of survey site elysia2003 i am slowly wading through them one at a time.

Not done much today just had a friend round and he children so 5 children under 4 you could say it was very noisey but lovely at the same time.

thanks in advance to those who reply x x x

Hi Everyone :hello:

H-A-P-P-Y N-E-W Y-E-A-R

What did everyone get up to?
I didn't do anything, i've been having a bad time lately and at the moment really feel down in the dumps, sort of like a mid life crisis and i really don't know what to do with myself to get out of this big hole im in :mad:

Other than that i have still been doing my surveys i have to admit i'm getting pretty sick of pan*l B and Gl*b*l as i get half way through and then screened out for simple things such as being a bloody woman! :mad:

I listed on Ebay and have a few goals i want to accomplish, i have some drawings mainly on scraps of paper that i want to get drawn up proparly. I'm stuck however on what to colour them with as normal colouring pencils look really pants on the drawings? Any suggestions???

Sorry to bore everyone with my bad mood but i just wanted to really say happy new year and really become a rock solid member of this thread. *kisses* x

Thanks hun. I have been doing the wizard but it's all a bit confusing. I feel I have been repeating myself and I know it makes no difference what I write as it will be not exactly what the tutor is looking for no matter what I do. I think it's because I am trying to catch up on so many missed weeks that it's become coonfusing. The tutor has posted an example submission so I have an idea how to lay it out but I'm sure the wizard lays it out how it needs to be anyway doesn't it? Or do I need to lay it out myself in my own way?

I only chose this module as I wanted more time to choose my specialism but i am regretting it. I'm going to try and get my head around it tomorrow and maybe call my tutor if I really don't get it. I wonder if realistically it's possible to complete the assignment in 3 days?

Wow, sounds like you had an unlucky break with the previous tutor, you must have been so shocked failing the ECA especially after all the hard work put in. I got 65% on my first paper which was disappointing, I feel I am barely scraping by on this one and I am doing an honours degree, well wont be if my marks don't improve!

The wizard is the most awful thing on history, it does make you feel like your tripping yourself up, you do repeat yourself, as you have 1 compulsary and 2 to decide from , although there is a word verison, its easier laid out but harder as the section you have to do the 500 words, whereas on the wizard its broken down into 50 or 100 words.

The wizards lays itself out, so for now just use it as it comes, it keeps the question in as well as your answer.
You did really good getting 65% on the 1st, its not the best of courses.

I did my tma in about 8 hours, but I didn't put heart and soul into it, just looked what the question wanted and waffled away.

If you asked any tutor and they answered honestly there all say the course isn't laid out well, your going here there and everywhere. To me, theres too much freedom, but the course aim is to improve yourself.

I'm aiming for BA Hons Business and BA Hons Leadership and Mgt, I know Im mad, its more from level 2 and 3 that they use those results towards your grading, levels one are more to give you guidance.

The course is compulsary in a lot of courses, i've passed Y159, W100, B120, DB123, B201, B203, B234, and they've been fine,

Send you a pm with my email, if you need a chat or anything I'm about, usually evenings but will get back to you.

Morning all

Whats everyone up to today? I havent got much to do apart from get a bit more sewing done. I cant start putting the Christmas decs away until OH has got the boxes down from the loft so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

I might do a couple of reviews this week for both c and dy, I want to get c up a bit so I can withdraw this month as its under a fiver at the moment.
