    Yay, managed to get logged back in! Been trying for days but it kept saying incorrect password, which it wasn't, but I'm in with the same password today!

    I've had a brilliant month so far, largely through generosity of financial institutions!!

    Halifax have given me a £282.50 'gesture of goodwill' following a complaint I fired off to them at the start of the month about their new overdraft fee structure and the fact they hasn't notified me properly - had been hoping for a couple of months grace on the fees which would have been £60ish, so this was an unexpected windfall!

    And then our good friends at HSBC agreed to reduce the interest rate on my husband's credit card for another 6mths, and in doing so restructured the balance and knocked around £270 off it! Same happened when they repriced it 6 months ago. Not complaining - I'm very bitter towards them after they stole £7k from us a few years back, so happy to claw back what I can.

    I've done £45 of mystery shops too, sold a broken Dyson part that they replaced for us user warranty for about £8 after fees, and had £13-odds in Paypal from various little bits and pieces. Plus £4 luncheon vouchers from a survey and a free product to trial that I'd have bought for £1, and 68p Asda price guarantee voucher!

    Thanks, I guess I will give it a go. Even if it takes a year or 2 it's still £50 I would not of otherwise had. I quite like the more topical surveys as well :-)

    Yes am a Dooyooer, at least I would be if I could organise myself to write more reviews. Haven't posted since June last year!

    Tried to log on last night but the forum was under going maintenance. I'm adding £4.45 in earnings + £7.00 from Consumer Panel. That brings me bang up to target and finally puts me slightly over :T

    my apologies it was another user with a similar name...

    You gov isn't bad it may not be a 'quick win' but they pay...

    £10 to add after hibernating for the last few weeks....

    finally sold some books on facebook.... glad of the space...

    brings my total up to £132.40 - also getting close to cashing out on doo yoo...

    (I have been a bit 'slack' but had assignments due in)

    I'm having issues with fleabay - someone who didn't pay before Christmas has bought from me using another account, and keeps threatening to leave me a negative feedback if I don't remove the strike so I have taken all of my sales off so they can't bid on more... (I'm a bit miffed as I kind of knew it was coming when I saw they lived at the same address so I posted special delivery to protect myself)...

    Ebay will do nothing until it has happened, and even then they won't tell me what they will do, as it's confidential - it's just driving me mad now....

    Stashbuster - 2014 98/100 - 2015 175/200 - 2016 501 / 500 2017 - 200 / 500 2018 3 / 500
