My survey uk and global testmarket will send you usually at least a couple of invites per day - screened out of very few My Survey ones .

My Survey UK (used to be Lightspeed) are probably my best - the surveys are generally short and points are usually 50-150 each so reasonably quick to redeem. My favourite .

Valued Opinions are good but I get screened out quite often. I also use Global testmarket - you redeem 1000 points for a cheque for £30.12 (dependent on exchange rate - cheque comes from US).

if it lets you register!

LOL, yeah I noticed that about Mysurvey, doesn't have a register option. I had e-mailed them, but in the meantime I tried just basically googling Mysurvey register and now I'm registered.

Still trying to chop away at this, only dark cloud gathering is we had a boiler problem, we are covered so that was good, but the engineer (British Gas) said that we could be doing with some sort of magnesium extractor that starts at £259. Also the parts on our boiler (is quite old) won't be getting made any longer so if anything major goes wrong with it, a new boiler would be required. However we'll look at that, as the guy did say the boiler is running okay, but just in case.

Also I've just got a new car. I've moved to a diesel to help with the long journeys to work so hoping to see a decrease in fuel costs, I hope to save anywhere from £50 per month upwards with the new car all in all. This will hopefully go towards a bit more payment towards our visa bills (all on 0% till around 2013).

Oh and also forgot to add that I've been doing surveys and I'm getting some return soon.

Already applied for a £10 Tesco voucher, and am not far away from about another £30+ in one way or another.

hey FD,

have you found using this thread helps you keep more focused?
i hope yu dont mind me asking you a personal question - how did you manage to get a mortgage for £85k at £290 pm?? my mortgage is for less than yours, but i'm paying £511 pm

i think i'll start a new post after reading yours, in the hope that it helps me reduce my debts - ive tried loads already but feel as if im stuck between a rock and a hard place

well done so far & good luck keeping it up

Hi,

I don't have a 85k mortgage? I am around 60k or maybe a bit lower, and I'm currently on the standard variable 2.5%. I have 25 years (well it's probably nearer 24 now) mortgage payments to go, but I might once we're a bit better off, reduce the term and pay the extra.

The site in general has really helped, some great advice and already it's worked a treat.

This thread is just to let people know how things are moving along.

Everyone is really helpful and I've probably saved/made hundreds, maybe thousands already basing on what I've done.

Just a little update.

Looking to see some savings now on my car fuel having moved to a diesel, that will go towards hopefully paying a bit extra to the credit cards.

Also, my surveys are now starting to pay off.

Valued Opinions I have already received my first £10 (took it against Tesco) and used it last night. Just sent away for my next £10 too (again used against Tesco). And am nearly half way to another.

Toluna - I'm more than half-way towards a £30 Debenhams voucher, but might elect to get a £15 voucher for HMV and get Footy Manager 2012 for my computer instead of using my Gamestation credit. .

My Survey - I can send away for a £10 Debenhams or Argos voucher which can go towards a Xmas prezzie. And I'll be half way to another £10. I could elect for a £15 Paypal credit, but think I might have more flexibility with the voucher.

Not even that far away with the likes of Gratispoints and also Newvista which might come good near Xmas too.

Hey FD

Sounds good, don't you just love a good voucher . The surveys are a bit mind numbing to do, but at the end of the day its free money, and that's the way I look at it. I try to do them whilst on nightshift (in the NHS's time:o).

Valued Opinion and My Survey are good for amassing credit quickly - Toluna I always found take a very long time to actually receive the voucher so maybe don't count on that one for Christmas. Good luck xxj
