Bit of a boring post. Over halfway for next voucher for VO. When I get £10 can cash out for a boots voucher for my mum xx Debt (1/9/14) £6,702.11 Debt free (30/11/2016) mortgage port- £70,077.82 and mortgage £126,517.39 o/s currently

Nice to see you're making progress with your survey sites. I was screened out of at least 5 on VO yesterday! The thing that annoys me about them is that you'll answer a good 5-10 questions, spending quite a bit of time then it'll STILL screen out! It drives me mad! I feel like saying, you've just got half of my data and wasted my time!
I can't believe how quickly the summer has gone this year - my little guy starts school next Thursday so i'm not willing it to go as quickly as most returners!
I'm also three weeks away from pay day...humph.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))
