    Helloooooo, one of the posters on another thread has just said that on Swagbucks, go onto the peanut lab in 'special offers' at the top they usually have surveys for 60 bucks that are fairly easy to qualify for. Ive just qualified for 1 and been disqualified for the other on my wall (pfft, discriminated against because i dont diet :rotfl:) the one I got to do took about 10 minutes and the one I didnt still gave me 1 buck :)
    This is how I've been bumping up my points :)

    Are they any good? I thought they might be rubbish so I just delete their emails, but if they're any good I might start doing them too.

    Some of the users on the £10 a day challenge set me off on it, I was already a member and had 90 points in my account :rotfl: started again a couple of months ago and have 2825 points, you need 3000 for a £10 gift card and this site does give you discounts for ordering larger vouchers, so a £10 john lewis voucher is 3000 points, £15 is 4220 points, £20 is 5340 points :) There are loads and loads of videos to watch and you can 'watch' each 3 times. You get between 5 - 20 points per video. You also get points for doing your profile and you can sign up for surveys (ive actually never had any, but others have had loads :() and theres sponsors etc

    Hello all!

    Not been on for a few days, feeling a bit disheartened at the moment. We went away this weekend and I thought it had all been prepaid when I booked it back in September. However when we got to the hotel they informed me they hadn't taken a payment because my credit card was to expire at the end of October. (Not sure why this stopped them from taking a payment in September) SO now this month, I've put £340 onto my credit card instead of the £240 I'd expected and planned to pay off this month. Not sure I can pay off £340 and my usual minimum amount (unless we get a Christmas bonus, which I very much doubt)

    So feeling like I've taken a step backwards already :(

    Aw sorry to hear that his missus, is your credit card one where you can pay it off in full and then not get charged interest like mine is? If so, could you pay off the c/c in full and then use it a little for the things you would have bought like groceries. So pay £340 off the c/c, then put £100 of groceries on there, then next month pay off the £100 and you're square again?
