    No boring bits at all, really amazing how much you've done and do for your boy

    Horrible news in town this morning :( I can't get my head around it at all and didn't want to send my littles to school this morning :o

    Monz how do you have so much success with opinion world? I'm tearing my hair out with them - 2 big points surveys crashed on the last question and they won't answer my emails - since I complained I've only had charity surveys come through :mad: must be doing something wrong :o x
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    I am not sure. I get about £12.50 per week amazon vouchers on a good week about £20. God knows how I won grand prize, tbh I thought the entry into it was a fake and ignored it. I honestly have no idea. It helps me save up for so many little things each month and our holiday items/ especially lego gifts for my boy xx

    It's a fab idea and you inspired me to give them another go but I think I'm going to stick with PA - it's the only one I have pretty decent success with :D x

    I am going to give surveys a go, always said I couldn't be bothered, but I really should! How long roughly do you spend per week on a £12.50 payout, I know it will vary...

    Work is quiet, so no time like the present....

    Starting debt £18,675.63 :eek:
    Current debt: £5,000 (16/05/18)

    What is PA?

    It just depends on each survey really to be honest. I enjoy doing hem and then some months I do nothing as I get fed up :). In run up to christmas I get loads so I try work through it all for presents xx

    Prolific Academic - I find it really interesting which helps and some are really well paying - I did one this morning for £7, it pays out cash to either paypal or circle account. I'm up to £19.90 with £7.80 pending and I've already cashed out £23 this month :)
