    Evening all, we;; finally managed to get a survey from Toluna which i didn't get screened out of, of the plus side i have 120 invites to their prize draw in November:) The second survey i am in the middle of completing is now stuck and not loading the next page, really getting hacked off. Don't know if Toluna and swagbucks are worth it, i never seem to get through the surveys on swagbucks. I have no problems with valued opinions, ipsos, crowdology or one poll, so don't understand it. Oh well.

    Nothing doing on ebay at the moment, can't wait til next Thursday when it's payday:) Looking forward to seeing some money in the bank finally.

    I decided a while back that survey sites were just not my thing due to the screening out. Review sites are tedious yes but if you invest 10 minutes of reviewing or rating per day you are guaranteed some sort of money whereas with surveys it is not guaranteed that you will be accepted. I'd rather put my limited time and effort into something that guarantees me some pennies (even just a small amount).

    I too am looking forward to seeing some money in my bank in approx 26 minutes. I may even be sad enough to watch it go in at midnight :D

    Well? How was it for you :cool:?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm well chuffed with myself actually. I have been doing surveys and cashback sites for ages but having a goal of an amount per day is great motivation. Also i've never really added up how much i've made before, just counted the vouchers coming through the post. But now i see how much money i can earn by really focusing on it i think i will set the same goal next month.

    Right...a weeks worth of cleaning in one day...i've got the girls coming tonight for a pamper night with Temple Spa products, so it'll be wine o'clock, but need to make sure my house is a welcoming lovely cosy place, not a bombsite...luckily my bathroom is downstairs so noone will have to venture up the stairs so going to concentrate my efforts on the dining room, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
