    onlyroz, I don't count survey money until I can cash it out, as then when it is cashed out, I can use it, ie pay a bill, buy food, nappies, etc.

    This is entirely upto you, but would suggest you will feel the benefit more when you see that money transferred to your account or have that voucher.

    With supermarket shopping, I don't count savings, because even though it has saved me money, it doesn't give me extra money to put into another account. And with T's, using money off coupons, till spits, etc, I may spend £80, but only pay £50, but I would never have had the £80 in the first place to spend on food. Does that make sense?

    I think it is Saorsie and I maybe wrong, sorry, but someone in the June thread, whenever they saved money, ie buying funkypigeon free father's day card, transferred the actual money saved to a savings account. So they could actually see the amount of money they had saved.

    I don't as the money saved to me is just money that I would not have spent.

    But you do whatever is comfortable for you. We are trying to make extra money to be able to pay off debts, save for holidays, rainy days, mortgages,etc. :)

    Hi all

    I want to sign up again for this as last month I found it was a great way of focussing and the extra money we made was either put to a debt or used for something specific so it didn't just get lost in the bank account and wasted.

    So this month I'd like to go for £15 a day this month.
    June £25 a day 850.94/750 :beer:
    July £15 a day 220/465

    Can I be put down for £5 a day please? I don't have anything left to ebay plus we are away for a week but I really must get back into doing some surveys as I am not actually that far from payout on a couple of them. Finding the time just seems to be the real problem though at the moment.
