  • Third time in writing this, keep loosing the post!

    Thanks NickyBo for the tips, will go see if i can find out about the surveys. Wishing you all the very best for Friday. Had my last 3 with sections. i'm sure it's worth it to know that you and your baby will be together and safe on friday.

    Thank you too, elysia2003, will certainly try and save up 3,500 for the Marks voucher.

    Also found details of Rpo*nts, must be years since I did that too. I just logged in earlier but didn't search around. It said i was a gold member, what ever that means. Will go have a play around on there too! mmm wonder what other sites y old file will throw up!

    Thanks Elysia, makes me sound like a bit of a recluse but with the c-section and various problems during pregnancy it meant hubbie I had to take me everywhere for a while. Was nice to get out on my own though, Tabi is still sleeping but am prepared for a few difficult days.

    Nicky you are right though, think I was more upset than her in the end!

    Good news on getting a date, not long now until you get to meet your new little one x

    Managed a m*survey and that's it today, hope everyone else is doing better.
  • Nicky - bet you are relieved now you know whats defo going to happen, sounds like a c-section would be best in the long run, 2 sleeps!!

    No surveys at all today, got a friend coming round for a few drinkies tonight so I don't think Ill get anything done tonight, today hasnt been very productive!

    Evening everyone

    I have been a bit busy today what with OH being off. We went out shopping this morning as we needed to top up our food. I have done one survey this evening for VO, I havent gone through all the other sites yet as not really had the time.

    Nicky - so glad you have a date now, there is nothing worse than the waiting is there. I will be thinking of you on Friday xx

    Is anyone a member of max* m*les and if so, how do you get on with them. Is it worth taking it up again?
    My top tip would be to check out the my account section on maximiles and click on my profile (might get 5 points for each section you fill in) and make sure you are signed up to receive newsletters and surveys. I don't have much luck with other survey sites but I redeemed from this site just before Xmas and I'm already half way towards my next voucher. I just rate the videos, click on the emails and surveys - I've not signed up to any gambling sites or made purchases. Another plus for this site is the speed at which vouchers are sent.

    Emmand5689 - Some of the sites you've got in your list don't have referral schemes. Elysia stated which did and didn't on the 4th post of this thread i.e. on first page. Saves you waiting around.

    Karonher - Thanks for sending me the cereal survey, I was successful so fingers crossed I receive the reward in the post soon.

    Maxi - There was a new video for 5 points yesterday man in purple costume.

    Pureprofile - 60p survey on here when I logged on today - no email notification so it might be worth logging on if you are a member.

    Hi everyone been looking at S*perp*ints, does anyone do this?

    Could I have a referral if so please :) thankyou. Also looking at SB don't know if it benefits you if you refer if so I am happy to receive a referral :)

    I done a lot of ratings on Dooy** today and hoping to get one written up sometime soon as well. Will keep up with the rating at least though.

    With the amount I have spent of gifts I anticipate that the earnings from DY will be more than enough to cover my outgoings for family members which gives me something to aim for and more :)

    Hi everyone -

    I started reading this thread from the very beginning just before Christmas but have been lurking in the background ;). Am doing things like SurveyHead, MySurvey, B*ng0p0rt already but have now also signed up for the postcode lottery, SwagBucks and would like to do Maxi Miles. Not sure there is a referral for Maxi Miles - not mentioned in post 4 :huh: but would be happy to be referred if that makes sense :D.

    Have been good and resisted lots of stuff in the sales I did not really need but did buy some 70% off chocs in Sainsbury's for weekly kid's treats ;).
