    The fact that there is a demand for your stuff at increasing prices is fantastic news.

    Have you tried AQA or 82ASK for work? Plenty of people on here do stuff for them.......there will be threads on the "up your income" board about them.

    Also, slice the pie - don't remember if you have mentioned doing this before, and it can be tedious, but they pay into paypal without any hassle, and it soon adds up!

    I have to say the response on FEE-bay has cheered me up somewhat, gives me a bit of belief in myself. Cheers :D

    I've applied to AQA and 82ASK, a number of times and I keep failing :p
    I'm still a slice the pie member but untill you mentioned there I'd totally forgotten about it! So I'll get stuck back into that whist waiting for replies to the text jobs.
    Ehm... I've been using the survey sites too, that's adding up. I withdrew £40 from one not so long ago and I'm halfway to a withdrawl on another (all survey monies go to bills). Pigsback is still getting clicked, although I really dislike the place now. Hardly any clicks ever. been stuck on 1545pts forever, or so it feels like.

    (I'll get my signature updated with totals for clicky things and whatnot ;) ) x

    Yesterday was 'almost' a NSD.
    £5.70 spent on 5 small critters (utterly essential)
    £7.00 to power meter in the hall
    £2.00 for some sunbed time :rolleyes:

    I've got a couple of excess supplies here that I'm trying to shift on for a few quid, and I'm thinking of doing a big sale on a livejournal community I'm on to get the pennies in from clothes/footwear/books/dvds I can live without having right now.

    Right, clicky things are as follows:
    Consumer Pulse: 15500pts
    Pure Profile: £4.60
    Pigsback: 1536pts
    Lightspeed: 60pts
    Onepoll: £19.55
    Valued Opinions: &7.55

    Yesterday I:
    *Registered with the royal mail postal survey. I've just this moment recieved an acceptance email, so that'll be stamps to use/ebay.
    *Applied to be a boots product tester, my medical forms will be in the mail today so hopefully I'll get accepted for that and be able to save ££ on not buying cosmetics
    *registered with pinecone research, so fingers crossed they take me on!

    I'm going to ask around my friends to see who'd like invites to survey sites etc, letting them know (obviously) what I'd gain from a referral and what they can expect to earn from surveys too.

    Today I'll be working on a project to put up on ebay on Thursday, then tomorow I'll be doing another to list on Friday.

    At the very least, I expect to be paying £10 to the rent arrears this week but I won't be able to know for sure untill the crossed postal orders clear in my account.

    I think that's all for now. Going to head to bed and catch a few hours sleep then get on with todays gubbins. A propper update on what will be getting paid will be on Friday and then Wednesday next week.

    Righty:

    Consumer pulse account has been closed, no reason given and 15500pts down the pan. Ah well.
    Pureprofile- Completed a survey. £3 earned - £7.60 total
    Pigsback - 20pts - 1556pts total
    Lightspeed - 0 new surveys
    Onepoll - 2 x 10p surveys - £19.75 total
    Valued opinions - 0 - £7.35
    Pinecone - 0

    The person who was enquiring about buying the supply item I dont require just now hasn't gotten back to me, so I'm prodding her today. Wrote out my selling post for two pairs of trainers, looking to get £12.50 per pair to cover postage costs, and I'll be offering ALL my old jewellery for sale too. I got a mouse completed too so that'll be up for sale this evening.

    No news as of yet about text work and I've just registered with two clinical trials websites to look into the healthy volunteer studies.

    That's my lot for tonight/today/this morning. *checks time* Oops. Bed time!

    Och I know. I sent them an email asking why and aparently I'd signed up via a link on a website which wasn't authorised to have the link in the first place. Maybe another time then. And I'll be going to bed within the next hour tonight, honest :p x

    mini update (propper one later)

    Righty:
    Pureprofile - £7.60 total
    Pigsback - 1556pts total
    Lightspeed - 60p total
    Onepoll - 2 x 10p surveys - £19.85 total
    Valued opinions - £7.35
    Pinecone - 0

    bit slow on the old survey front today. The things I slung up for sale via a LJ comm didnt gain any interest, so I think I'm going to have to find and convince someone to take me to a car booty one weekend soon. I won't mind if things go super cheap, it's all money to the bills at the end of the day.

    The mouse I worked on yesterday is now up for sale, one bid made an hour after listing *yay* should be a good result for that one. I'm finishing off another before heading to bed and that will be listed at 20.30ish today.

    I need to move a few quid from my BOS to Halifax to cover ebay fees today, then work out how much I can pay to the rent arrears and make my first update on that total. Virgin bill needs paid on Weds to avoid a £10 late fee *flicks vicky at virgin media*, but aside from that, things seem fine :)

    So, got one critter up just now, I'll have another at 20.30 tonight plus I'll do one more later today to list on Saturday whilst I'm away. Operation get rid of rent arrears is in motion :T

    toodles for now x
