    It's coming round quick Monz, how exciting! It'll be here before you know it :)
    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 😭

    For some reason I couldn't get that one too work, might be the security settings on the PC in work so I just skipped that one & carried on with the rest.

    Had a couple this morning, maybe about £2.20ish.

    Wow - you're doing so well with PA! I just joined last week and I've been doing them on and off, but trying to get on a few times most days. I have £8.20 cashed out and £27.90 pending. I might look into Circle so that I don't need to rely on PayPal.

    Do you use Valued Opinions? I've found that pretty decent for building up cash - it's quicker to build up than OnePoll but more in depth surveys. It's not as quick as PA of course, but when I'm not getting any surveys on PA i check there and there's always a few 75ps and £1 surveys to be done. I'm at £15.75 on there and can cash out if I want but I'd like to build it up for Christmas.

    Bet you're excited for the holidays :)
    CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

    July debt total: £24,630.44 | New debt total: £18,316.34 | Total debt paid: £6,414.10 (26%)
