    Thank you so much Carl :)<3 that was lovely to read this morning!

    Had a good weekend, Friday night I had a OITB season 5 watching :D (clearly it was a wild night with my pjs crisps and blanket on couch!) Saturday was my niece birthday party and my friend came over for her mini baby shower and watch the Scotland game haha, overall spent £20 max and that was mainly on some baby items for her.

    17 days until payday ah I hate 5 week months!!! This week survey central to boost my holiday spendings :)

    How is everyone xx

    Cashed out £20.80 from PA half will go to holiday fund. £10 will be in my petrol pot lol. Still awaiting news on £16. Just awaiting on this to clear.

    Still not received my £4 from crowdology, will send an email regarding this or maybe await another day.

    Got another survey week coming up will get £15 amazon voucher for this - this is going towards a nike tracksuit I saw for my boy. Not for his birthday just for daily life :)

    15 days to payday, find 5 week months so hard!! I keep spending as soon as paid but mostly been for holiday - going to go through my banking though as its quickly out.

    4 weeks on Saturday Florida :D next focus when home will be house fund and with surveys etc will be focused on Christmas and my sons birthday :d. Will book his party when home also :) xx

  • Excellent.

    I have a pending balance on £3.70 with them, didn't notice a I had to do something with a completion code on one of them so they might not pay me :-(

    Oh well emailed them to say I am new to this so hopefully they will as a one off.

    4 weeks!!! Holiday will be here before you know it.

    I noticed the lack of PA surveys since last night.

    Gilmore girls is my all time fave! I don't watch much TV or follow anything, but I sat watching back to back hours all the way through the seasons of gilmore girls :o

    Soon be Florida time :D

    I thought I would post the survey sites I find very useful and which have contributed to be being debt free. I know most people use them but I thought I would share my faves

    1. Opinion World - This is the main one that got me out of debt and I hold very close to me. I do this everyday almost and get roughly £10-20 a week amazon vouchers from this. Dont get me wrong there are couple months I go through phases I do not want to look at surveys but with birthdays/christmas this is amazing! I used to read you are entered into quarterly draw and ignore it thinking yeah ok... last year I won £5,000 and cleared all my debt and now have a chunk to deposit for my first house. I never believed I would win... still shocked to this day

    2. Valued Opinions - you get to make roughly £1.50-1.75 per day before "no more surveys" are available. I find this useful for cinema tickets, argos and of course amazon vouchers. I make about £20 a month from this

    3. Crowdology - you can make about £4 a month paypal. Get the app ;) makes it go up quicker than waiting for an email :P

    4. Pinecone - this comes every so often £3 via email

    5. Prolific Academic - Thanks to Kirsty - this is a new lil dream!!! Had past month and made about £60!! Very good!

    6. Ipsos Isay - I get to cash out £5 amazon vouchers every second week or so.

    7. Newsvista - takes a while but get £50 about once a year which is amazing and currently been selected to do as many as I can for month of June... dont know if this is for everyone though :D

    If I can think of any others will add to this :) xx
