I've been lurking for a while and I'm really glad you're feeling better. It's not worth getting so sick in order to pay your debts. Glad you're on the right track too, though. The diaries seem amazing for keeping people on track with their spending, and I love your posts.

Thanks SP. I've not done my diary entry for a while but need to get back into it!

Instead of baking today i've ended up going to all my old survey companies to see if I had anything in them and fill in existing surveys. So i've been to panelbase, ipsos, maximiles, and p-cone. And i must say i am amazed and delighted with what I have found!

Panelbase: £20 love2shop ordered for christmas gift
Ipsos: £10 amazon instant certificate, will be buying christmas gifts
Maximiles: Best value was £25 M&S, again, christmas gift sorted! (Parents love a bit of M&S)
P-Cone: I had an amazing 5400 points, so have ordered 18 £3 paypal withdrawals so a massive £54!!

I'm amazed at how much this has all added up to doing the odd survey here and there this year.

Totally got myself motivated again!

Well done CP, nice to find free money.

I am on a focus group through a survey and one of the panellists is an MSER, survey doer, swagbucker, gifthulker, pinecone, shop and scan, consumer pulse etc

He told me that everything he does is claims in paypal where he can and leaves it in that account. At the end of the year he has nearly £900 to spend!

love free money!

You just reminded me about consumer pulse!! I finally got on there after trying for AGES!

Only been doing it a few months but i'm gonna check what i have there now.

Need to stay in the habit of filling in every week. Always getting reminder emails

either get a diary and make sure you check it daily and put reminders in for everything or make a spreadsheet, you have to check daily

Thats a good idea. Someone bought me an organised mum family diary last month so i might put it in there too as i check that all the time. I love that diary. Would never pay the price myself tho!

I have 24500 in consumer pulse so i'm gonna fill it in a claim once i have a round up number

Claimed enough money/vouchers for today i think!

Day off work tomorrow so plan is to bake! Might pop out and treat myself to a slow cooker too. Been fancying one for a while, just a cheapy one tho

Paid a small debt off this week too. Just £5 a month but its another one gone!
