    Evening everyone, I am new to this site, what surveys do everyone use and how much money approx do you make? Any help would be appreciated.
  • £12.10 to add for me today. £7 from selling an xbox game and a £5.10 free bet. I've hit £150 for the month now so hopefully I can keep ahead of the curve lol.
    11k in 2011 - £256.63 / £11,000
    January £10 a day - £256.63 / £310

    For those of you getting new or renewing your car insurance - make sure you do use the comparison sites (one of them I got £1.50 cashback from Quidco for just doing the comparison). I got lower quotes and called my current provider to give them the chance to match it. They tried and did knock of quite a lot (about £40 for the year I think it was) but it was still not cheaper so I changed. Its always worth asking if they can get it down to match another - they need your business too. If you cannot find one cheaper elsewhere they don't need to know that - if you tell them you were offered cheaper they have no way of knowing you are not fibbing. The worse that can happen is they say no, they cannot go lower. Nothing to lose
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    Hi all

    I'm a bit late to join but this seems like the ideal thread for me, I'm trying to cut down my spending overall this year, but in particular I'm needing to save money for a trip to Prague in May. I reckon a couple of hundred should cover my spending money so I'm aiming for a very modest £2 a day. I signed up for a few survey sites last night, won't be counting the cash till it's in the bank though. Gonna look up all my old CDs on Music Magpie tonight, should be a fair few bob sitting in the cupboard!

    I also compared my car insurance renewal, which was due 31st jan, and the cheapest is almost £200 dearer than last years ( !!!!!!? ) and nothing has changed in the last year ~ talk about confused dot com!

    Hi misskaytee

    When DH's car insurance was up for renewal I used the comparison sites like JesaRose said, but once I'd found the quote I wanted did it through a cash back site. I managed to save £60 per year on the insurance and get £45 cash back for the new policy. Good luck searching out a better deal.

    I'm not doing so well this month as 12 days seem to have vanished, but at last I have listed some items on eBay. 8 down, about 60 to go :rotfl:

    I knew this would happen- im getting ebayitus!

    I keep checking every few minutes, just in case, even though theres 4 days left! Not doing to bad though, the surprise item is a Fat Face dress I bought for £1 at my local recycling centre(yes the dump!) is selling for £10.50 with 4 days left! Just need to keep it up and add to the wedding fund-its not looking too bad considering I started saving on the 1st. :D
