For free stamps or free gift cards,apply to one of these two postal survey companies and see if you can get onto the panel.
Unex
https://www.ipsos-unex.de/whati.asp
TNS Postal Survey
https://rmselfrecruit.research-int.com/Questionnaire/qstIntroductionPrivate.aspx
It involves receiving and sending letters. With TNS sometimes you have to send parcels and pay but they reimburse you with love2shop vouchers for this.
Worth signing up if you can for the free stamps.
Bargain haircut for 50p!!! :j:beer::T
6 sheds! wow! how long does it take you to garden?
we need 1 decent shed as this current one is full of spiders, has no felt on the rooft and is way too small!
I need to win one.
It's a huge garden (about half an acre) but not a tidy/organised garden at all. Remember, we live out in the countryside down a lane/very narrow road. In the days this house was built, long before our day, even the smallest of homes had lots of space around them.
It's a bugbear really, we need to keep the front tidy but most of our garden is at the back so not on view;). We've lots of mature trees, including a clump of poplars which are about twice the height of the house now. We planted then as 2-foot high saplings when we first moved here. We also like to encourage wildlife so leave a lot of it to nature (that's our excuse and we're sticking to it:rotfl:). The actual 'lawn' at the back can be easily cut by OH in under an hour (and that's including traipsing back and forth emptying the lawnmower grassbox). He only has an old (like most of our equipment) normal petrol mower, not one of those sit-on ones.
As for the sheds, they've been added over the years and are pretty much out of sight behind trees/tall shrubs. All of them have had a lot of TLC over the years, such as new felt/roofs. They aren't all in a row or together like some sort of shanty town:eek:. OH couldn't believe the cost of new ones these days when he saw some at the garden centre, even small ones. He wasn't looking to buy another one by the way, he only went there for some compost. Good luck with winning one:beer:.
About 25 years ago OH and a friend built three of ours from a sports pavilion that a local cricket club (now long gone) was getting rid of. It was free to anyone who could dismantle and take it away, even then they were the only ones interested. Took months for the pair of them to recycle all that wood into 3 sheds but they've been worth their weight in gold over the years. We even had some wood left over to pass on to someone else. Waste not want not eh?;)
brilliant! you should apply for your recycling badge from Badger! That is recycling at its best!

Today I have completed some prolific academic surveys totalling £5.67 and already have £2 cleared. So when that clears will be withdrawing it.
I just completed a pinecone survey for £3. Waiting for that to be paid.
Nearly there to my £10 a day :j
Unfortunately this won't happen everyday but its a good start.
I also checked my tesco clubcard account as wanted to change my email and am looking to make £50 in clubcard vouchers to buy a Merlin pass.
Found a tesco voucher expiring at the end of this month :eek::eek: luckily I was talking to customer service and they have renewed it for me so won't expire at the end of this month.
I am also going to download the https://www.payqwiq.com/ app and go and earn my 500 free clubcard points, equivalent of £20 if used in boost. It all adds up!
Anyone looking to buy a now tv box? buy it from Tesco for 500 clubcard points which can be converted in boost.
I am also running swagbucks apps in the background. I missed out on my daily bonus yesterday as fell asleep and tablet charger fell out and tablet switched off.
But it all helps. There is a current swagbucks challenge on too. A star wars themed one. If you are in the winning team you will get bonus swagbucks.
I cannot stop talking about this board. I was on it earlier looking for the shopprize (android only app) thread and spotted a referral thread for something that I ALREADY do. It hadn't occurred to me to post my referral on there!
I know you may only get one, but one is one more than 0. Also if you are on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, don't forget to post your referrals there too. You will be surprised who signs up.
I know a few ladies who post their referrals in Facebook selling groups and they get quite a few people signing up and making them money! :eek:
so get your referrals out there!

I was kicked off the TNS panels (all their postal surveys) last year after one of my test letters split open in transit and TNS suspected my cover as a panellist may have been blown:(. All very cloak and dagger but I really miss the surveys and the stamps/vouchers that I used to get:(.
Edit: wonder whether it's worth trying to sign OH up for the TNS panels. Not sure if it's me personally or our address/postcode that has been barred. I'd be doing the surveys myself anyway and keeping the vouchers and stamps.
I still do the Quotas ones (German) but hadn't heard of Unex unless it's the same company by another name as they too are based in Hamburg. The page that your link took me to mentioned one of the rewards was Amazon but Amazon aren't shown on the list of reward options shown on the 'what do I get' page, just things I've no use for:(. Do you do work for Unex and do they offer Amazon as a reward option please?:(
I don't just reapplied. I did something different a few years ago with them. I got paid in love2 shop vouchers as that was the currency.
on the page with the picture it says some of the retailers so am sure amazon is on the list. you can use love2 shop vouchers to buy amazon gift cards I believe in supermarkets that accept them.
