    Hiya Oopalah.
    FANTASTIC, Great news, so happy for you, according to my snowball, I've got 40 months to go (originally 89), managed to get it right down by following the advice on here. I'm so happy for you, WELL DONE hun :D
    Thanks, Sparky, and everyone else! Keep going - it is worth it in the end. I was constantly in debt for over 10 years before I had my LBM in 2006, so it has been a very long time. I know I'd still be in debt now if it wasn't for Martin, this site and forum and everyone on it.:beer:

    Hiya jacki,
    Try these hun
    www.volunteer4panels.com
    www.mytns.co.uk
    www.valuedopinions.co.uk

    They all pay vouchers out when you reach certain levels of points for surveys, and putting in your shopping habits, the first one volunteer4panels, allows you 500 points for each item of clothing, beauty treatments, mobile phone bills, and also entertainment, for every 10,000 points (20 items) you get a voucher worth 10 pound. Since starting this last year I've received about 120 pounds of Debenhams, 50 of John Lewis, and about 50 of high street vouchers

    Give it a go hun, good luck

    I'm so excited i will actually be able to pay my mum decent money, this way she won't have to worry about Christmas. I won't have to take out a loan for a car or my holiday, i will be able to pay for everything:j:j
    And I will be able to save the money i need for my holiday!!

    Sorry i'm so excited, I've never had a "proper" job before..

    Anyhoo I have vowed to put £100 before we open our pots :D
