The Olympic Challenge Take Two

Sea78

HURRAY!! I am finally off the starting blocks! I've just got my ipsos panel id number and checked how many point I have - loads! So just ordered £30 boots vouchers Won't update my sig til they arrive and I swap the money over but well pleased Also got bids on a few of my Ebay items and sold a DVD on Amazon that I need to post today. This is really helping me at the moment and has given me the motivation to turbolist a few other bits and pieces

Hi All :wave: ,

I wasn't sure whether to PM Gemmzie or not as I've made absolutely naff all progress this week.
To be truthful it's been a little tougher this past week or so, as we're meant to be moving house (well... meant to have moved two weeks ago!:mad: ) so everything's packed, including all bits that could be potentially ebayed/amazoned/green metropolissssssed.
Which is frustrating.
Still keeping up with the survey sites though, and still living frugally in order to save up for Christmas anyhoo...
It's meant to be at ours for the first time this year!:eek: :eek:

Having said all that though, when we're unpacking you bet anything that doesn't fit in with the new place is going straight on ebay... and God forbid the previous occupants leave anything behind...!:rotfl:

Another day another £20 to the challenge from my Mystery Shops, did another 2 on saturday, fingers crossed there will be more. Still awaiting my GreasyPalm cheque. As for Xmas I have planned out my budget & trying to get it under £300 this year. Last year I spent £600 as a guide. Will be making up stockings with freebies I have received this year.

I haven't started thinking about Xmas yet :-$

I have got a lot on this month so have got it earmarked for the beg Sept (not Xmas - the thinking about it...) I intend to make as many of the pressies I can (baskets with HM bath bombs, HM shortbread etc...)

I also want to start doing table top sales to help raise money for this challenge but cant find any advertised locally.

Jet - the table top sales sound good as I don't really have enough stuff to sell to justify a whole car boot expendition, but enough for a table top.

I think I'd prob be able to shift what hasn't sold on ebay at a table top sale too coz I need the space under my stairs back!!

Goodness knows!:o

As mentioned previously, I'm with GfK, and do their TV/Radio/Internet questionnaires everyday. You get entered into a draw if you do so many a month, and then entered into another draw if you do so many months on the trot.
I'm also part of their consumer panel, which is just a matter of letting them know whenever you buy certain items, like CDs, or upgrade your phone. Again they have a monthly round up.

I know some people think the questionnaires are a waste of time, but I fit them into my work lunchtime and I also enjoy telling people what I think.

Another good one for that is ciao. They don't just give out questionnaires, but you can also do reviews of things, and depending on how good your review is, depends on how much you get paid. I'm a novice, I've only done 10 reviews, but there are people that have done loads, and of course the reviews keep earning for every feedback you get.

Sorry... bit of a long answer for a short question, but if it helps anyone I'm a little over eager to share!:D
