I'll add that to my list for today and I'm going to go for 5 things today:
1. Earned 500 points on Maximiles, not aiming for anything yet, but if I do around 300 points a day that;ll be about 7,000 points by the end of September
I'll add more once ive done more things todayLBM #2 - 6/09/2011

1. Valued Opinions - completed survey for 75p towards voucher.
2. YouGov - completed survey for 50 points, worth 50p (though with cashout at £50, it will probably several more years before I see this!)

4. Swagbucks - did daily poll, NOSO, searches, code and SB TV for total of 56 points (worth 33p towards Amazon voucher).

I was out all day yesterday so didn't get a thing done!
And today DH and I have discussed that I may need to give up work as financially not working for us.
But we have to sit and work out figures.
Got 2 more vouchers from McCains today, actually delivered, these are ones I have already claimed in my £10 a day challenge.
so today
1. B!ngo - Sun daily
2. B!ngo - jackp0t j0y daily
3. coke zone code
4. mcvitities codes - they all add up and then will decide what I want to do with points
5. crowdology survey
6. nectar tool bar search - i know it is only worth 25p but 25p more than I had at end of month
7. maximiles clicks
8. mccains0 -

You will be able to live on Mccains points vouchers at the rate you are going mind you LOL!
Well done on completing 8 steps today - you always seem to have something i've not heard of before - am off to google mcvities codes now :rotfl:

Coinks codes - but they encompass mcvities, andrex, shloer, and other companies. Forget which as I really only collect mcvities and andrex. Unless I can womble codes.
that would be one way to go, keep cashing in the mccains vouchers, different paper ones and then sell them on ebay.
have to find a way to make cold hard cash each month, more than the £300 I aim for

Time to add my wee list for today:
1. Did a car boot sale this morning
2. Did unique rewards clicks
3. Completed survey on zoom
4. clicked on paid emails
5. Daily earners on swagbucks - now at 1738 points
6. visited mcains and watched videos and played games - at 690 points
7. Registered for a telephone survey worth £5 if accepted
8. Booked in a new MS assignment
9. woohoo bingo - now at 116 gold stars
10. Registered with DBS research
I have to admit i was struggling a little there today but i made it in the end
Will have to get my brain in gear for tomorrow now! Debt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go
