Something brilliant happened yesterday. I rec'd an email from a survey site I don't regularly visit. I've been deleting them recently because they don't pay and are a bit of a time waste. For some reason I decided to read this one. It said I was one of their monthly winners in the members prize draw and had won 50 pts. I thought "Oh wow, 50 pts, that's like 50 cents". I had to sign in and verify to go shopping. I couldn't even remember visiting this site before but lo and behold...I have 150 points. Thinking "oh, goody, $1.50 to spend. Can I buy anything for $1.50?"

My mistake...it's not $1.50 but $150!!!!!. Doin' the happy dance. How excited I am to be a winner! I ordered a Jamie Oliver frypan, a radio and a luggage lock and name tag ....that's for when I go on my travels.

How do you think of yourself...are you a winner or are you a loser? I've been tryng to attract positive things into my life recently and it seems to really work. Do you do this?

Woo Hoo Ms Tickle that is really great.
About time you had some luck.
I was a member of a survey site but I never got past the age question.
I might have to lower my age. wublol

For most surveys the largest percentage of responders is wanted from the 25 - 40 yr age bracket. You need to do your surveys early to get in quickly for the small percentage that is required in your age bracket. I think I'm older than you and in the next bracket again so the percentage there is even lower.

My prizes have arrived! They are fabulous!!thumbupw00t

Congratulations. Clearly it pays to stick with some of these sites even if they are a bit of a waste of time. I try to think positively, but sometimes it is a struggle. They say that you make your own luck and it seems to be the case for you. Well done again.


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 947 out of 27,506 in life  4 months ago

I actually paid, all up $75 AUD for lists of sites to join. Most I already knew about. I joined dozens of sites and was not hearing from most, being screened out by others and making a few lousy points with still others. I don't even do most of the surveys now. If I'm going to spend 40 minutes of my time, that has to be worth something, I reckon. It's been just over 2 years now since I joined up and I'm just at the stage where a couple of places are giving me a little joy.

As for making my own luck, that was the whole idea and I was prepared to do the work but it simply didn't happen. It shouldn't be so hard Pike. Luck to you mate. thumbup

I have won some things in my lifetime but nothing major.
So I consider myself a winner


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 947 out of 27,506 in life  4 months ago

Good for you!thumbup

Congrats on your win! I haven't won anything in a long time. I keep my hopes up though. You never know. It is always good to hear when a friend wins something. It gives you hope that you too may one day be as lucky. Big huggers to you.


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 947 out of 27,506 in life  4 months ago

Thanks for you kind words. This came out of the blue. It wasn't one of the ones I had visualised winning...I had been thinking about "the world is full of abundance in ways that you would never imagine" lol

So, yes, it does happen...and it will happen for you sooner than you think...keep smiling and imagine the prize is already yours. thumbup

WOW!! That is so cool. I do surveys too and have never won anything like that. I know lots of surveys give you points. I bet you were doing the happy dance. Congrats that is really cool. I try to live positive too, the "Law of Attraction", it does work.


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 947 out of 27,506 in life  4 months ago

Yes Polly, I have a few hundred points here and a few hundred points there but to get anything decent you need thousands of points. I did a survey this morning for a company that usually screens most people out. When you do get to participate it's usually for 400 or 500 zoints. This time I wasn't screened out but I only made 50 zoints, bummer. thumbdown

The Law of Attraction is supposed to work and I do believe it, I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong...lol. lol

Good for you hon! Way to go! Even though I haven't had something as nice as that happen to me yet, I still think of myself as a winner. My bills are slowly getting caught up, I have a roof over my head, and I have an awesome family. Now if only there was a rich uncle in the woodworks that was rich......LOL!


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 947 out of 27,506 in life  4 months ago

I count myself lucky to be here in this place and so happy with each new day and the abundance that is mine. I have so much to be grateful for. It never hurts to have more though and we should not limit ourselves in any way. Blessed be.
