  • All good, Emz:j Keep at it. I hope you are feeling better now your new drugs have had a bit more time to kick-in.

    Just done another Pinecone survey (my 3rd this week:eek:) after not receiving an invite to one for about a month.

    3 of the books I listed on Amazon on Sunday have sold already:j. Just going to post them in a mo. Won't make all that much after Amazon fees but at least there is a relatively quick turnaround on there and the same books could go back and forth to several carboot sales and not sell at all so I'm happy.

    Hi CBC - still feeling a bit ropey, damn tablets. Glad you've sold some stuff. I expect you got more than you would do at a car boot.

    I'm up to £10.90 on 63336, which is just rubbish. I'll try and do some more tonight.

    I've done quite a few surveys this afternoon, but can't redeem for anything yet. I'm also getting some chocolate bars to test from Bzz Agent and I've got 80 Nectar points from Adpoints.

    Morning :)

    Already made a start today and have reached my Swagbucks target, answered a few questions (am now on a massive £11.65!!), done all my surveys from overnight and won £10 on the free JPJ game.

    Got to drop OH off at the station in a minute and we're off to the cinema tonight to see What If.

    Okay, I've given in and have applied for 6 jobs today. They are all part-time and are all based in the shopping centre down the road from me. Two are for new stores that are opening next month, one is with Next, another is with a quirky little store, one is with Boots and the other is with a toy shop (temporary for Christmas).

    Even if work did pick up on 63336, I wouldn't be able to earn what I was, so I need another source of income. I don't want to work full-time as that may damage my health, so I'm hoping part-time is a good compromise. I can then top up my money by doing bits and pieces online when I'm not at work.

    Fingers crossed one of them gets back to me soon. I'm sure there's lots of money to be made in the run-up to Christmas.

    Thanks for the good luck messages everyone - will keep you all posted :)

    I've turned my back on 63336 - it's just way too hard to earn money on there at the moment. I'm struggling to even make £10 a day on there right now.

    I've gone back to Textbroker. I've just done an article that took me around 45 minutes and I will get paid £3.70 for it. That's the equivalent of at least 15 questions on 63336, and there's no way I would have been able to do that many in 2 hours right now, let alone 45 minutes.

    I like that they pay weekly too, which will fit in with my part-time job, which will also pay weekly. I've just picked up another article, which I should be able to earn a similar amount from.
