The long road to being mortgage free!

Hi BookWorm - Onepoll is slowwwwwwww. I've been doing it on and off since 2006. I'm not bothering again as it takes an age to get to the £40 pay limit. Others like it though so don't let me put you off.

Oh dear doesn't seem like adpoints will be too lucrative this week :eek:

Off to do the first food shops of the new month, hopefully I can stay within budget and stick to my list.

PS. - I did get back to sleep at 6am until 11am :T

Glad to hear you've got some more sleep! x

I'm a pitiful 47 points on Adpoints this week too.. maybe they've realised they're losing too much money with us lot!

I've received only 25 points this week. I was thinking that with Christmas just around the corner, there will be lots of ads to promote sales, but I'm mistaken.

Oh yes a whopping 9 points for me too :eek: :rotfl: Better than nothing but seriously tight from Nectar!

On £10.50 with DY, been rating quite a bit and wrote some reviews when I was awake through the night so that'll keep me going for tomorrow. It does get quite addictive when you are writing for level 1 categories, just a bit rubbish writing for level 3. Hopefully they keep makeup in level one for another week

£20.45 spend in Mr T's and £12.48 spend in Aldi :T:T Pleased with that as I've stocked up on a few things there and got a few reduced veg bargains too. Hopefully won't need to go shopping at all for anything until at least next week which is December!

My adpoints not good too. I have nada to collect and checked earlier and nothings changed.

I havent joined DY as seriously should be studying (although clearly im not) and doing the vista etc is boring enough. I can hardly bear it but keep persisting although have had no surveys available virtually all week.

Cant wait to relist on saturday. Its like a fix that im missing!

No new adpoints today either, very poor outing!

Joined Consumer Pulse on Unhappy_Shopper's recommendation, seems quite good so far, bit repetitive but aren't they all! Points mount up fairly quickly too, particularly as I've bought so much lately! Think the vouchers will help towards next year's present buying fund.

£11.65 on DY.

Bought something off eBay a couple of months ago, had an email today off the supplier stating that they had a new website launching and if I wrote a review of the product for them they'd give me a tenner in my Paypal account.

Easiest £10 I ever made! Luckily I was happy with the product so could write a nice review. DY need to take tips from this company about amounts to pay people to write

Ammonite, check the adpoints, I was able to get to 104 just now.

Thanks US - just got 165 points they must have been feeling (rightly) guilty about last week's poor points for me! Not many questions to answer much more about the watching of the ads which is fine - only took 15 mins!

Been quite dedicated on DY the last couple of days - now on £13. Need to keep up the good work

Have just hit £100 in Boots points too. Extremely happy about this Bought some baby-related stuff there that was the cheapest online anywhere and they give 10 points per £1 back plus all the bonus points lately for Christmas so haven't actually spent that much to accumulate that amount of points.
