    Very satisfying indeed - and I have arranged with Egg to make overpayments on my loan with them, so I know I can get started on that one as soon as funds allow!

    Once Egg is paid off, the books will balance - that will be an excellent moment!!

    the food ones are generally from retail eyes or tns.........gfk gives me loads of hassley ones but the occasional goodie, and grass roots is excellent for those easy bank ones that you can do in 5 mins in your lunch hour!

    Sometimes, though, I go for aaaages without a decent mystery shop, so I am guilty of grabbing them while they are there, however tedious they may be!


    Hmmm.... well, I grab them when they're there, for sure - but I'm with grass roots, and I've never had anything like that with them.... I don't think those jobs are in my area, either, I've checked the jobs I've missed, and there's nothing like that. Sob..... still, I really *must* get round to joining retail eyes and tns.... I've been having an interesting evening over on the Boost Your Income Board - some interesting little snippets there. Okay, I'll do the mystery shopping first, before I become a film star :D

  • Bl00dy hell Hypno, so much for taking it easy! What's your target for paying off Egg?
    I love the idea of buying a new house, esp. one to put the ironing in.... lock the door, key down the drain :D

    we may have no credit cards MiT, but we DO have £43k of loans still!! Some way to go yet!

    I would like to be rid of the Egg loan by Easter........:EasterBun

    It is the first of the month, so about to nip over to online banking land and check that a couple of loan repayments have been made, then I can update the signature and snowball and see where we are.....

    have a good day everyone!
