    Hypno - the sites I go on are on the Christmas 2008 for free thread, which I think you've seen, but I see that you know them mostly but just don't do them - really - it takes a while but then the money starts rolling in.

    On a MSe note, I think tonight has been a bumper survey night as I've done at least 9 surveys - not qualified for all and also joined onepoll.com and done all the surveys on there to!

    May have also had slightly too much wine to drink, but hey ho.

    I joined a few sites mainly to get piggy points or whatever, so get the surveys sent to the inbox. It is just a case of allocating time to do them, I suppose, and at the moment I haven't done that!

    I will make more of an effort in the new year, though. Any extra will def help, even if it is not much. For example, I am half way towards a voucher on test&vote - what good is that if I don't do any more surveys!!

    Hope you enjoyed the wine, have a good Saturday x

    Test and Vote now give points even if yu don't qualify for the survey - not loads but as they send masses of surveys they soon add up. i am often quite happy to get screened out with them! Same with pure Profile - they will give a small amount of money even if you don't qualify!

    Morning Sea - just catching up, well done on all you've achieved this week, hope you are having a well deserved rest today!

    I like the sound of the Free Christmas 2008 challenge, I think I will go and investigate that!

    I've done a few survey sites, but the only one I have stuck with has been Lightspeed. Although, I'm fed up of them now, so I might have a change and do T&V instead next year.

    oooh...woke up with a slight headache this morning :) I think the wine went down rather too well - combined with no tea = not good. I just hope I didn't post random drunk postings on here!!

    I sometimes get fed up but I do like the rewards so I persevere.

    Have to sort my budget and spreadsheet out for this month now.

    Hey ho so what if you did! you wouldn't be the first and certainly not the last and it shows people you are having a good time!:D

    You sound like you're doing fabby with the surveys, have you got any links to them? the only one i ever do is test adn vote but since they've changed their name to toluna i've not been able to find where all my points have gone!!

    Are you up to anything fun this evening? xx

    :)
    I've posted a big long list on the christmas 2008 for free thread and there are a few that I wasn't signed up to that others have pointed out which is great. Toluna can still be accessed via testandvote.co.uk I think.

    Not done as much as I wanted to today, despite my big plans Taxi! Fell asleep (oops) but did manage to put washing in, dry some, do washing up, sort out the fridge and attempt to straighten the kitchen - didn't work very well! :)

    Not up to much tonight - OH going out for a mate's bday so I'll be here I guess.:D

    Crikey - just read Hypno's new diary - talk about inspirational!!

    I'm not sure I'm ready to add my other debts to the total - one is a £1050 loan from my mum a long time ago and the other is the loan from OH's work already mentioned - £21500. Adds quite a bit to the total!!

    What I'm quite ashamed about actually is the fact I'd completely forgotten about the loan from my mum til really recently i was going through financial stuff and saw I used to include it on my list of debts but then started missing it off as it wasn't 'urgent'. Hmmm.


    Stopped myself from buying some superdrug online bargains today despite the fact that they really were cheap, I didn't need them and got as far as the checkout, via quidco of course, before stopping. So feel quite good about that.
