evening

elysia hope you feel better in the morning x

nicky i hope you are cuddling your newborn right now :j

savvy fantastic news about the house , think of all the lovely things you can buy for it

hollieinbloom wow what beautiful dresses, and a beautiful girl, your daugher is a very lucky

joe have a fab weekend :beer:

charlie how annoying !

legend i hope they all work for you , i seem to be plodding along quite nicely , just joined swag and seem to be doing quite well on it

redmel i would try gumtree and the local paper 1st , just because it would be cash on collection , and it would be the safest way

if you list it on ebay you can do local pick up, cash on collection too , but you will get lots of people asking about postage , which if you wanted to do you would need a courier and its going to cost because of the size and weight of it , also if you local pick up only make sure they don't pay by paypal state it's cash on collection or you risk being scammed
so try local 1st then if no joy , local pick up cash on collection on ebay
thats what i've done in the past
i'm an ex pushchair-a-holic :rotfl:

Thanks for the referral Emma - any tips for spoints?

Looking forward to hearing news from Nicky

Had a good day today, £3 viva, £2 vo, been invited to a mystery shop web thing for £20!

Got to viva redemption level now but its telling me my paypal isn't verified although I've had £60 off them already - anyone else had this?

Glad we are all having a good survey day - it's all picking up again!

I had this earlier also had over 75 from them had to allow them access to my PP which I was little worried about

I have put 2 reviews on today which is good for me and still have 2 sat waiting for dy when product suggestions go through. I am still finding it slow with rates would have thought everyone and their dog would be on as its slow for surveys maybe there just posting and not rating

really please with today done around 8 surveys and lots of opinions topics on T 2 reviews posted and my house has had a spring clean not sure where i have got my energy from maybe nesting but at 18 weeks sure its too early lol :Dxxx

Sparklychel - Yes I would prefer cash on collection so will definitely give gumtree, or maybe netmums and preloved a turn before ebay, especially if there is a chance of scams with paypal. There is also NO WAY I am posting it, it is a whopper of a buggy lol. Thank you x

Thanks mum2three, brill code x

just sat rating reviews on chow! im so tired i need to sleep!. did another review on a toy so a nice and easy one. will attempt another in depth one to get some more E ratings at some point.

thanks for the SB code. my partner is 21 next month (then I turn 22 the month after!!!) oh gosh.....Hollie turns 3 in April! :O
anyway, enough of my panic, i need some amazon vouchers in time to get him some things he wanted. ive got £20 sitting in there already.

Anyone use Toluna? it's so slow on there and im constantly screened out. end up just voting in the polls and the mini surveys. getting 80,000 is a huge task!!! xx

My points just jumped on T only at 40 000 so halfway there xx


I also find it hard work and surveys extremly long for pennys they pay I find writing on other peoples opinion topics a good earner as long as you write 80 words plus you get 100 points for each one although they like surveys also take ages to be credited. also if you do this and they return the coment you get points for your opinon topics think its 500 points at 21 replies and then jumps up each 21 replies you get xxx

I rang Sky not too long ago, said that V were offering a much better deal, they basically gave me a 25% discount for 12 months, so am paying £15 less than I was until November. It is definitely worth phoning them, but I think it depends who you speak to, and from previous experience and reading the Sky thread on here if they don't offer you anything and you go through to retentions and still end up cancelling they usually come back to you with a few days to spare with a deal, and if they don't then you just ring them and say you've changed your mind and although you won't be saving anything you won't be losing anything either. Does that make sense?

I've just sold my first fb item of the year so £3.50 in the tin. I also emptied my purse earlier and all the £1 coins went into the USA fund.

To all those who are up for the ebay challenge it is free listing weekend.
I have a couple of errands to run, now the washer man has been and fixed it (yay!) and when I come back I am going to do a bit of photographing and getting ready to do some listing on Sunday.

Still trying to get to grips with swag, missed that code yesterday :-(

well done with sky, and like the sound of the America fund, thats on my to do list.... Next one is Lapland Fund. xx

Just pasted and copied, it looks like we can't list with a normal computer, don't know if theres a way of telling the difference???

But thinking I don't want anyone to list expensive items then get caught out as not used their links etc. xx
