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

My friends are like that too and when I told them at work I got £100 cashback from Quidco for my car insurance, effectively halving my car insurance, they are said they wouldn't try as it sounded either "too much hassle" or "too good to be true". I suppose if people want to throw their money away you have to let them!

I can hear myself turning into a bore to my friends as all I go on about is how great this site is, and dont get me wrong I know I am addicted to this site as my favourite bar says it all, but why shouldnt I be since finding this site I have earnt quite abit through quidco and pigsback and survey sites. Have heard about freecycle. and got a refund through amazon. Got quite afew freebies. and for the first time in ages I have some money saved in different pots for certain occasions. And to acheive this I have everybody on the mse site to thank.:j

I got some vouchers from a well known pizza place because I complained about the service, hygeine etc (it was sooo bad) anyhow I was just as excited to get the vouchers for my sealed pot than I was to get result from complaint. How sad is that??

Hi, sorry, that would be me that didn't add you to the list! I do apologise and have done it now. Welcome and good luck!

Lol, I think we become slightly obsessed (but in a good way)

98sidney, I am exactly the same as you. I had never realised there were so many ways of making / saving money. Before I found this site I'd paid £3000 off my debts in 8 months. After finding the site I paid the remaining £27000 off in 17 months. If not for MSE I would still be severely in debt, not beginning to save!
