    Hi Tattycath,
    You can go on to www.nescafe-pickmeups.co.uk it will explain all. Just keep collecting the beans from the back of jars which are converted into prizes with a small(ish) post & packing fee.
    I have started to be a bit naughty and I steal them from the jars at work. I ahave just sent off for slipper & towel sets - will let you know what they are like.

    Lol, OH used to do this, plus he would be quite happy about taking them off jars when he visited relatives.

    I've received cheques from Mutual Points (£20) and Home of Research (£22.25) so will add that to signature. Seem to have loads of surveys in the last week when I haven't been checking my emails. Lots of them had closed but still been able to do plenty Toluna ones - OH is about 2000 points off a voucher. Still haven't heard anything about the £12 voucher I redeemed with them on 8th January - any ideas how long it takes? Plus, I am a measly 5 points off getting a cheque from GlobalTestMarket and 7 points away from a £10 IPSOS voucher - very frustrating!

    EDIT - got 5 more po9ints from GlobalTestMarket so should receive a cheque from them in 6-8 weeks!

    hope all the savings going well guys! i have £7.27 in cashback rewards, im amazed because i barely use it! (last time was aug) is it £25 on there for a payout does anyone know?

    Onepoll is excellnent - cant reccomend it enough and I have 20000 toluna points so a third of a way to a voucher.

    Also managed to convert my boots vouchers into m&s vouchers by buying stuff for OH and him paying me back in vouchers - so mothers day present sorted at no cost. :D (£35 too!!)

    Hello to everybody. I have had some more surveys this week. Sold 2 things on Ebay. Got free Mills and boon books which I can give somebody for xmas, and free alex rider book which according to my mum my brother will love.

    Trouble I am having is I am telling my friends about this site, and what surveys sites to join, and have even written a list down on what things to sign up for, using quidco and pigsback etc, and not one of them has done it so I am getting annoyed. Just get the reply you must have too much time on your hands to find all that out. Lets wait and see who has xmas all wrapped up by Dec 1st.:j
