    Well done on doing so much on your list Gwen!

    And on the godessing... you're right...you are worth it!

    I bombed toluna off within the first week, it annoyed me too much. I do onepoll but it doesn't pay out until you reach £40, I'm upto £10.90 so far but that's because I didn't do it for about a year which I'm really gutted about. So now I'm going to try and keep up with it, I will get to £40 eventually.

    Did you get into MBing?
    Initial Debt July 2020 - £6,772.80
    Debt now Jan 2021 - £6,208.21
    Overpayment pot - £0

    Hi!

    Don't worry about Tatco, Lula. It is annoying me that they currently have about £80 of my money in their accounts :mad:, but I will get it sorted eventually. If they don't mess me around anymore a stroppy letter is heading their way :D

    I'm really pleased about the bill reductions aswell. I know I need to get rid of this debt, but I also want more money 'free' per month so that I can save up to get work done on the house and go on holidays and have fun.

    I've signed up for onepoll aswell, Bowski. At the moment I'm thinking I'll sign up for most/all of the survey websites and then only continue with the ones that are worthwhile.

    Nope, I haven't gotten into the MBing yet. It's on my very, very long list of things to do :rolleyes: I have about £75 currently with Betfair and about £10-20ish with Ladbrokes, so I need to have a 'refresher' and get on with it. I'm a bit worried I'll just forget that almost £100 of my money is with bookies :eek: Please remind me if I'm not MBing after Christmas, cheers :D

    Glad you had fun at Greenday, Bowski!! Sounds ace. I nearly went to see them in London, until I realised I was too skint :o And well done on the weight loss, that's terrific :A

    I agree that Ipsos are good, I also recommend Lightspeed panel, have done quite well from them although been screened out a lot recently :(

    Valued Opinions is also quite good - pays out in cash too . There is another one that I cannot mention by name, they pay well but it's invitation only ... next time they are recruiting I will let you know ;)

    Thanks Lula! I'll look at joining Lightspeed aswell. I'm on Valued Opinions, but haven't had a survey from them for ages :confused:

    Oooh, I'm intrigued by the secret survey company....please let me know when they are next recruiting, sounds exciting. Thankyou :A

    Hurrah! Tesco are going to refund my £65.08. The £14.03 issue is still to be sorted, but progress is being made. They have emailed me a £10 ecoupon as a goodwill gesture aswell, although I think this means I have to use tesco.com to get my groceries again :rolleyes:

    Other good news is that £40 for Be Broadband is received by Quidco :j

    I also got a free Nails Inc nail varnish with my Glamour magazine yesterday :D

    Feels like I have loads of things still to sort out, but I am getting there :rolleyes:

    Back later

    Forgot, more good news (trying to be positive!)...I got £5.50 of Clubcard reward vouchers yesterday. May come in handy in January when I'm always absolutely skinted.
