Hi,
Just went to Pigsback and had 2000 more points than I did yesterday:j Not sure why - I wonder if I have won a competition. Anyway have ordered £20 of theatre vouchers from them to go towards paying for pantomine at Christmas. Off to update my signiture.

Brilliant - did you win the crossword comp, maybe? I think that is 2000 points. Whatever it is, what a nice surprise!

I still can't get much out of Pigsback, must be doing something wrong.

Since my sig is too long this challenge is AWOL from it at the moment but we have:
£30 in misc. vouchers (from shopandscan)
£20 in cash (from dad's tips)
£18.50 in tesco vouchers
£10 in misc. vouchers (from valued opinions)
So £78.50 already

hi guys :hello:
i got my first tesco voucher through yesterday for £7.50
and i've ordered my first voucher from sainsburys for £5 off toluna. I was going to wait for more points for a £12 HMV voucher, but ive heard bad things about points dissapearing after a while so thought id order while i had the chance!

still doing the free bingo-ing although not been on it for a few days due to feeling like death warmed up ("arrrrr.....") unfortunately what ive made so far will now be needed elsewhere, but if i make anything else on there im going to use it towards cmas now.

Hi all

I haven't posted for a few days due to ds bday yesterday. Anyway started the bingo-ing and won 12.94 so far from 4 sites so i am pleased with that:j

Have done a few clicks tonight and think I might need to get into doing surveys/mystery shopping as an extra source of income, anyone got any guidelines of where to start????

Off to bed - am shattered. Will endeavor to update sig tomorrow so I can chart my progress. Nite nite

All those of you who have shop and scan, you're very lucky and I'm v jealous! My SIL has it and they get loads of vouchers! I thought the other week that I'd been lucky to be invited to join a scanning site, and whilst I do have a little funky scanner, it's for i-scan and their points and prizes aren't so good! Oh well, it all adds up!

Getting there with pigsback, but it's slowed up a lot compared to all the points you used to be able to get! But hopefully will make it up to £20 for Christmas at least!

Hiya I've not posted much as we have had a few other priorties, had to break into the sealed pig for some change cos ds needed to go to the hospital and didn't know how long we would be so took enough for lunch as well but didnt need it so put it back (only needed 3 pounds for the car park), Now I know how much is in there it is tempting to put it in the bank but keep a record somewhere of how much I put in and then use at christmas time.

Have ordered 2 sainsburys vouchers from toluna, a cheque from globaltestmarket and a voucher from valued opinions and have 950 piggypoints so I am getting there but its slow going. I have ordered a cd from ipoints for OH birthday but already nearly have enough for another one so might get something for my little brother for christmas.

I also have 7964 nectar points - i really dont know what to do with these, been saving them since Adams stopped taking them. I think I'll either use them with the 5.01 voucher I have for argos or at sainsburys off the christmas food shop but not sure. Anyone got a better idea?

Hi,
Just wondering what shop and scan is?

Have had a few more wins on Bingo - no more sites left but total profit of £250 - so very pleased. Also have ordered £6 from Lightspeed. I have a few things to Ebay - have photgraphed them and will try to list tonight.
Cannot believe I actually have money for Christmas in Febuary. Thanks to OP for the inspiration.

jess, i think you can set up another alias on the bingo sites by using a different email address to register. so if you have another email address you can go through the whole list of sites and register again.
I'm going through each site and registering twice using my 2 email addresses. I'e made about £80 so far and have done about 6/7 sites with both emails. I've told my mum and shes quite up for the idea as well, so I've got to show her how to do it properly tonight... :rotfl:

I'm thinking about ways to increase my income, in order to be able to put more money away each week towards my Christmas stash. I've thought about ironing at home for a while now, and as I've been browsing my way through the Up Your Income board, I've seen a brill thread on the with tips on how to get started out- advertising and prices to charge etc. It would be great just to get an extra £30-40 a week. If I could make this amount on top of my current income I would save half towards Christmas and half towards my holiday stash as well. :rolleyes:

What does anybody think of the idea?
