Diary of my new life !!!

benbenandme

I gave up with Toluna ages ago when they started messing around with the vouchers they paid out in, I think I might have another look at them in the New Year though. The ones I use most are:

Global Test Market, Ipsos, Yougov, Valued Opinions (not so much anymore), Panelwizard, Lightspeed, Its Your View.

I also use some others which I dont get that many surveys for but are still ok:
Ciao, Pureprofile, Opinionbar, Response Panel, Onepoll, My tns, Home of Research and Opininonate.

It does look a lot but a lot of these dont send surveys very often.
Its opinionbar where I reached a payout level last night, which has taken ages as they dont send many surveys.

Hi Benben!! Happy post Christmas!!

benbenandme

Hey Hypno, glad you and yours had a good Christmas!! :beer:

Today is a big clear up day, the place is an absolute bombsite :rolleyes: I have my niece coming round later to pla with ds so at least he'll boccupied so I can get on

hypno06

Yes, I need to do some fly-lady type stuff today as well - OH's brothers and their families are popping by - probably this afternoon, so it needs to be reasonably presentable by lunchtime......giving me time for another coffee or two to wake up first!!

My kids are taking advantage of a lay in.......they have been SOOO tired this Christmas, and need desperately to catch up on sleep before they go off to France!

Ds and I didnt wake up till 8 today which is pretty good for him :rolleyes: I've got a vague plan for today and the rest of the holidays (back to school on the 7th Jan) .....

Today I'm going to move his presents into his room but not attempt to tackle them yet. This should allow the lounge to look fairly normal and I can then tackle it and make it look presentable for my brother coming round

When ds goes to his dads this weekend I will blitz the place and re-organise all his toys and books in his room, gutting them to make room for the new ones.

Also, at some point before we go back to school I need to: organise new spreadheets and update all my financial stuff before the new year, finally get round to my tax return :rolleyes: , buy new bedroom drawers for my room, make my final mortgage overpayment of 2007 and generally get organised !!!

hypno06

generally get organised

Think this is my new year's resolution for 2008!!

Mine too, hypno. I've got a big birthday coming in May 2008 and I want to be settled and organised by then. I'm starting the big organise on January 1st and want to sort all areas of my life out once and for all.

Good luck, maybe you should start a thread for it.:rolleyes:

Just found another survey site I'd forgotten about ... panelbase ... checked my balance and it is £9.50 and they pay out at £10 :j Have updated all my interest profiles on it so hopefully they'll send me a survey soon

Hi BenBen,

Glad your having a nice christmas.

I have only just hit my first voucher target with toluna after 6 months :rolleyes:

And you can't order any until January as they say they are out of stock of everything!

I am gonna claim it then quit i think.

benbenandme

Right, I can feel my motivation coming back .... today I'm gonna check all my accounts and get a completely up-to-date assessment of where I am with one week left of this year. Then I am going to spend this week on a mission to get all my accounts back to zero (I'm assuming they're not :rolleyes: ), ready for the start of the new year. So that means every survey I can get my hands on, lots of ebaying on their cheap listing day, and generally catching up an getting sorted!! Off to get showered and dressed first then I can start clearing up and then sorting for ebay
