My 1st day on Swagbucks is not going well. Not sure if this is because I don't like it or because I don't know what I'm doing :huh: Either way it has taken up too much of my time today (as if I wasn't unproductive enough already)

I'm not a fan of swagbucks either Mags. I signed up, read the stories of how much you have to do and unsubscribed the next day!

I don't get it :huh: I only have 102 points after yesterday and today but there must be some reason why it's so hugely popular on here. I need more Amazon vouchers but I can't exactly work full time at earning them :mad:

A €25 bottle of cellulite cream from a twitter giveaway is on its way to me :T Brightened up my evening

As usual I'm not doing too great with all this MSE stuff. I've been tracking everything I've been spending and it's not great really. I intend to post some figures at the end of the month if I'm not too

I made my (now annual) trip to the Boots 75% off sale today. I'm not even sure how much I spent as I went to a few different branches so it's not all on one receipt. I'm thinking about €40 but I might take some things back as there were a few impulse buys and I don't want the extra clutter.

Onepoll is a £35.20 but Swagbucks is only at 187 points. I've not been spending much time on surveys, just dabbling a bit.

I've done no mystery shopping yet in 2013 and I've only done 3 NSD's so far.

Just read your entire diary, you're doing really well!

I'm using swagbucks a lot but it also took me a while to get into it. The surveys (daily ones and on the offer pages) are the best way to get lots of points.

Hi Mags,

I'm overdoing it on the heating these days but it's January, it's cold and having the heating on is quite comforting. This is yet another area in which I'm finding the MSE lifestyle difficult.
