YEAH :T
I've got a few still taking ages too. T*luna is the one I cashed out on, I can pretty much always find something on there to up my points, from quick surveys to polls. V*lued Opini*ns is taking AGES..... *ne P*ll is getting there albeit slowly and I have a couple of others I've started but not really concentrated on lots yet.
Mcc*in and WooH*o are driving me batty, but I might keep going just until I get one payout then pack them in.You have to start to finish.

Just checked my points on T*luna and I'm getting close to another payout. :T Looks like I got loads of points for having an app on my phone for a couple of weeks. (or at least that's what I think it is).
I've got loads of points waiting to be applied, and I've just done everything I can on the site until it told me there was no more.... I want more vouchers. LOLYou have to start to finish.

I think I need someone to come around and give my hubby a kick up the rear.... He's just asked me how much we have available on the CC as he was looking at a new graphics card for the computer...it will only cost about £100 he said when you sell my other one on eBay. :mad:
That's NOT the idea. :mad::eek::mad:You have to start to finish.

Just been on the Mortgage Free Wannabee board.....I so want to be on there, but got to clear debt first.
If I could have my way I'd eBay most of the items in the house and live with the bare essentials to get rid of this debt. Pity I've got a hubby and 4 kids. :rotfl:
I think I need to go for my soak in the tub and get thinking of more things I can sell to help, I feel like once I get one debt down the others will be quicker/easier as more to go towards them each month.
I don't think my signature is helping me today.and it's not even all on there...
