    I have got 4 watchers on one of my items now :j not really sure why though as it is a buy it now item :rolleyes: :D

    They'll be seeing how well it sells at that price for when they put something similar up.

  • Hi Benben

    I didn't know where to post this question and I know you have joined these surveys so I thought you might be able to help me.
    I ahve joined Yougov and there have been no surveys only the £1 joining survey and nothing since? Is this normal?

    Also I joined onepoll and I have done all the surveys including the competition ones (except the over 60s ones not relevant to me), so how long does it take for them to put more surveys up?

    Don't worry if you can't help just thought I'd try before posting a new thread or anything.

    Thanks

    I only joind onepoll about a month ago so not sure how often they send surveys, yougov send them to me about once a week, often 50p ones but i had a 75p one today, have you checked that you've filled in all your profiles?? I have had one payout so far from yougov (£50) it took about 2 years to get there though :eek: but was a lovely cheque eventually ;):D I think i'm up to about £7 again at the moment :D

    Hi Benben,

    Hope your first day back went OK.

    How did the yorkie puds turn out yesterday?

    If I can make yorkies, anyone can :o Just remember, always plain flour (I once used self raising and they didnt rise - dont understand that one :confused: ) and get your tray hotter than a hot thing before you put the batter in, smoking if possible ;)

    Glad your first day back was OK. Our kids were all very exciteable to say the least. Must've been the wind ;)

    Well done on the NSD. A bath and early bed sounds like a blimmin great idea :T

    I only joind onepoll about a month ago so not sure how often they send surveys

    some of them say they are only open for that day on one poll so I check every day just in case! not had many new ones for a while but hoping that was because of xmas, sometimes they don't make sense though eg. have you done x in the last six months, never is an option then they go on to give a compulsory answer to a question about how much you spent doing x and 0 (cos it never bloomin happened) isn't an option. I feel like getting in touch and offering to write surveys for them because theirs are rubbish! sorry rant over...:o

    Hello all ... after work I went to the bank and made a £700 overpayment on the mortgage :j :j this was due t be paid at the end of December but I've faffed around a lot and have only just got to the bank to do it :rolleyes: :D It still felt very nice though if a little scary :o

    I also took a jumper back that I bought as a spare pressie for my Mum before xmas, but decided to give her other stuff so thats another £15 in my account again :D

    I haven't earned anything yet today towards the £10 challenge although I have booked another mystery shop for 1st Feb so that can go towards the start of next months challenge :eek:

    I might try and get some more ebay stuff sorted out tonight once ds is in bed, but I feel shattered again tonight :o so it may just be a bath and then vegging on the sofa :D

    Today has been another no spend day, oh no it hasn't actually, I spent 50p on a flapjack :o , well nearly was then ;):D Still not doing too bad though I think. I picked up the tickets today for ds school trip to the pantomime on January 19th ... we're right in the middle in the second row ... I'm looking forward to it, I haven't been to a pantomime for years and years :rotfl:
