  • Hi all im going to sit on the side lines this year as i dident update or contrebute a lot last year and have no totals to share but. I had a fab year had a dream holiday to Florida and got married there to my georgeos partner.. I still need to recoop about £3000 to be back to square one but lifes to short. I made most of my extra income by stewarding at pop concerts and football matches im afraid its almost min wage but it aint hard just need a thick skin lol.

    I've put my 2012 total at £1251 so am aiming to do better than that in 2013 and to keep a better record as well.

    hi wendall, the survey sites I am with are new vista, valued opinions and swagbucks. I know there are more out there but I tend to spend all my time on swagbucks :D

    I have been a member with new vista for about 18 months and i find this slow going, so far I have earned about £40 and you redeem at £50 so still a bit to go with this.

    Been a member with valued opinions for two years and I usually get about £40 a year which I redeem for Boots vouchers.

    The best one for me is swagbucks as you can do more than just surveys. So far this year I have earned £315. I redeem for paypal money and then transfer it straight in to my bank account. Let me know if you want referring ? HTH

    Thanks for the info i signed up to swagbucks yesterday sorry you probably would have points for referring , just trying to get my head around it now.

    I'd like to give this a go too. Will aim to earn it. Can't promise to be too good at updating as this is usually my downfall so prob easier for you if I track it myself.

    Hoping most of the chat is here and not Facebook so I can get some tips and motivation. I just don't get on with Facebook so won't be joining in there:o
