Signature done and another update in that I've taken the £7000 family loan out of the equation.. they are super chilled about if and when we repay this. So we are almost going to forget about it and set up a £100 monthly DD when the debt is gone and treat it like a bill. Have to say the debt figure looks horrific, just so need to get that under £999 and get it gone.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Those surveys are impressive. I do pulse and have currently £8.15. I seem to get a tenner a quarter as I keep missing the paid ones. I think of them as a trip out or outfits

I tend to do them at nights whilst watching TV.. usually 30 mins max. Y0ugov, it is slow - this will be my third payout.. but I quite enjoy the topics covered and they come through so sporadically I don't get bored. I've had loads of product tests over the years which has been good and I figure it's free money for me putting a little bit of effort in and helps to bring the debt down a bit..
