The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

That's a big challenge tattycath! Everything you manage does help though.


I've only ever done a few mystery shops, and for me they haven't really paid out well enough for me to bother. I think if you live/work in or near a city or large town, then it might be more worthwhile as more comes up. Jobs go fast though so you have to be quick to take them!

It may be worth looking into though. There's lots of info on the up your income board.

Surveys - I do a LOT of surveys. They can be so tedious and time consuming it's unreal. I always get them done in down time - so during a break at work rather than using up time at home. Or if you are sitting watching TV at night, then do a survey at the same time.

I always cash in for amazon vouchers, a few you can do for cash but I don't bother. I don't get a monthly income from them, but every now and again I'll manage to redeem a load of vouchers in one go so it adds up. One site you can redeem at £5.00 so I can get one of those every 1-2 months, the others it's £10-15 so can take longer.

The trick is to try and keep up with the surveys and do them as quickly as possible, so you don't get screened out so often.

I wouldn't recommend them as an income stream as such, but a handy extra if you can find some time to keep up with them.

Thanks for this Tilly and jwil.
Right going to hunt out stuff to sell on eB@y, and get some photos done.
I'll set myself a target of listing 40 items in the next week or £200 worth.

Thanks jwil.
No more listing done today as I'm bogged down in a mountain of paperwork.
Hoping to list more either tomorrow or Friday-depending on paperwork. Failing that I pledge to list at least another dozen items over the weekend.-there, I've said it now I'll have to do it!

Just paid another £30 off the mortgage. After doing some sums I have managed to pay £100 extra off this month. still a long way to go though.
Fingers crossed the bay of e will prove fruitful.
