    I've been bad and have been ignoring surveys and suchlike for a while. I go through fits and starts and get bored with them very easily. When I was saving for my Kindle it was easy as I had a goal, but now it doesn't seem as worth it.

    I logged on out of curiosity this morning and have redeemed Nectar points for a £2.50 Amazon voucher and was delighted to find out that I'm at cashout level on Valued Opinions too, so that's another £10 voucher on its way. More surveys here I come :D
  • I dont do as many surveys as you but started the latter part of this year,motivation is an issue with me ,but i m hoping if i continue i can start saving for next Christmas and be better organised:D

    I gave up on surveys about a year ago - probably at the same time I moved house, come to think of it. I've had no inclination to return, but really should revisit some of the better sites I guess.

    Maybe in the new year:rotfl:

    I only do 2 now as some of the others are so frustrating as you get screened out

    The only one I really keep up with regularly is Swagbucks. It's not hard to earn a few points a week even if I'm not trying.

    Not a lot else to report here really. I spent less than a tenner in Morrisons so the grocery budget is still looking pretty good. Half a pound off at Fat Club tonight too which is pretty good considering the amount of chocolate I've eaten this week :D

    Thanks Taxi :D

    Following on from yesterdays talk of surveys, here's how things look with my various companies:

    Ipsos - 675 points (lots more needed to redeem)
    Toluna - 50,334 points, 80,000 needed to redeem (Hate Toluna, but need to try and blitz it if I can!)
    Valued Opinions - 25p, just redeemed yesterday
    Mysurvey - 35 points. Haven't done any surveys since my last redeem
    Swagbucks - 772 points (849 needed to redeem)

    This morning I made a small PAD to my loan and paid a couple of quid to my ISA to take the balance up to £1800 exactly, so I'm really pleased with that. A good chunk of that will probably go in the sales, but I do really need work clothes since losing the weight.

    Need to get ready now and get to work - we're due awful weather here, which people will be driving like they got their licences from a cornflakes box so I'm adding a little time to my short journey :D

    Take care all my Scottish friends! I just moved south earlier this year and the weather's a lot easier...my ex-flatmate was telling me the other day about the snow outside and this afternoon she couldn't get to work! I'm watching you all on the news and can't help thinking this may help your NSD challenge :D
