    DDDK,

    Have been away on hols for six weeks and have just had a brief look at this last page...

    DEBT FREE this month....BRILLIANT...

    going to go through your diary at lunch to see what has been happening.

    just quickly, do you do the lightspeed surveys? they are quite regular. I joined up through pigsback, but you can do so through quidco too if i remember correctly.

    you can convert your points to money to be paid into your paypal account

    all the best
  • Hi Becca,

    I don't do lightspeed surveys I'm afraid - do you have a link?

    Also, I am a member of pigsback but don't use it because I didn't understand how to use it to get money!

    Oh wow 16 days!!!! That will fly by. Sorry to hear that the completion date was put back though.

    As for Pigsback DDDK, get yourself over to the Freebies board and read up on the Pigsback thread. All the initall info you need is in the first post. The way I make money from it is to gain enough points to order Boots vouchers and then sell them on Ebay. They have vouchers for other things. Also the vouchers come in handy as presents.

    As for Lightspeed, this is the link you will need http://gb.lightspeedpanel.com/register/join.html?custom=SAFGB00103

    Of course, as you know, you wont make heaps, but the odd amount here and there put into your paypal account for answering surveys isn't a bad thing.

    All the best

    I've signed up to Lightspeed, just now, and I'll read the Pigsback thing sometime this week.

    Just a thought, are you going to continue your diary once you are debt free?

    I hope you do.

    I hadn't planned on keeping it updated actually - I had thought about doing the odd update every now and then (perhaps once a month-ish) but really I think I should leave the board for real DFWs and help other people instead of posting about myself!
