    Hi Lynz

    You could put on your auctions that you are away until Thursday and will answer all questions & despatch BINs when you get back.

    I have done that in the past when going on holiday.

    I hope your head is feeling better now :o

    Just done some more questions on AQA, not sure if I'll have time to do a survey tonight but I've got until Friday next week to do them so I can complete them tomorrow/Sunday.

    My updated totals are:

    AQA - £90.00
    Change - £8.00
    Mystery Shopping - £4.70
    Quidco - £38.45 (one of the offers got declined :confused: )
    Ebay - £151.00
    Other - £4.00

    Total - £296.15

    Nearly at the £300 mark :D

    Will post again tomorrow night, off to the boyfriend's now!! (not more flat hunting :eek: !!)

    Take care

    Lynz I'd wait untill you get home to do the ebaying, just so you're there to answer to the fussy (and sometimes paranoid) ebay bidders. :)

    Ehallett, which one was it that got turned down? *corsses fingers it's not the big one*

    It was the £4.80 magazine one, the 3 issues of an Italian food magazine for £1. Not sure why it was turned down.

    Been doing a bit of AQAing tonight so I thought I'd update before I hit the hay:
    • Quidco: £137.05 tracking/validated - no change
    • AQA: £45.30
    Making £182.35 so far. Gonna try and finally get around to having a go at Ebay tomorrow. Got loads of junk I could sell, just having trouble motivating myself into getting it listed :rolleyes: :o

    Dammit, my Lovefilm entry has been declined by Quidco, which must be cos I canceled the account with them, which makes sense, but I was hoping it would still go through.

    That also means my money for the subscription to The Week mag will be rejected too, cos i emailed to cancel it and deleted the DD when it appeared in my DD listings online. Not sure what will happen about that as I am meant to pay the £1 for it at least...!

    I bet you had the same thing as me - I did a 3 issues for £1 (think it was something like Marie Claire) and also did the Business Magazine. It was 2 seperate things on quidco but actually through the same company (the magazine group) so only got one tracked and the other declined.

    Only had time to do my daily clicks and sign up to a kodak thingy on greasypalm today so i'm lagging behind.
    Did manage to sell a £7.99 cdwow voucher for £6.55 on ebay though, rather have the money so woohoo!!

    P.S. Just checked my Ciao account and I have made £5.65 this month in surveys, nice surprise!

    Hi everyone

    Well my boyfriend has finally found a flat so at least I won't have to spend time viewing any more!!

    This evening, to make money I'm going to:
    • Answer 100 questions on AQA (£30)
    • Complete 1 of my surveys (£5)
    • Add another item to my Ebay pile
    • Enter the internet comps closing tomorrow
    Will update again later this evening when my total will hopefully be pushed over £300 :D
