    I have $7 so I will cash out.

    I've noticed that the Paypal rate has dropped slightly, it was 0.59 instead of 0.60 per $ when I cashed out the other day :(

    I had a thought about this yesterday.
    Paypal's conversion rate is slightly lower than the exchange rate, use www.xe.com

    My thought was, can I pay $$ in to my bank account and have them exchange it at a better rate than paypal ?
    I'm with HSBC and I think I can, providing the amount is less than $100 each time.
    So I'd build the amount up in paypal and then transfer it to my bank, will paypal transfer $$ to my bank ? that's another question.
    I need to go into the bank and actually ask someone about it though, as would prefer to ask than do it myself and it goes balls up somewhere.

    I have an account with HSBC also but when I try to withdraw from Paypal if I have a $ balance it converts those to £ when cashing out I believe...

    Please let me know if you can think of a solution :D I would happily use my HSBC one for it if I can save a few cents or whatever :)

    Hmm, never thought of that.

    I've got a ton of 8c investment tasks, are they broken or am I just lucky ?
    Need a cuppa first before attempting them

    They are not broken, although at first they seem to be.

    Some of them are missing a second 'click here (nothing happens) button'. Just click it before you do the 30 second bookmarklet part and it should be fine, I did them all fine but seen lots of other people complaining they weren't working.

    Yes I had the same tried the task twice and it did the same so I just submitted a support ticket so hopefully it should get fixed and will get paid for it.
    It is worth putting in a support ticket as when I have done that before I did get paid for the task.
    Blogging and earning online.

    Totally killed my task earnings today with having such a fantastic evening last night

    *side note* I did see that Japanese translation task but it was on InstaGC so I swapped to Google Chrome, CF asked me to log in but wouldn't accept username/password. Just been on Clix now and logged in to CF fine.
    Strange,
