Thanks as always Bear
The weather's quite mild here also.
I have a new plan
My new aim is to pay £10 per week off my new target CC. Its not a huge amount but it will add up to the £40 per month I was paying in interest on my other CC. :money:
It will also help to keep me focussed whilst waiting for my CC statements to come in every monthSP 9#531=£620/SP 10 # 531=?PDBX 2016 #2 = £16,766.67/£12,000
PDBX 2017 #2 = £1,200/£12,000

You are doing amazingly well!! Keep up the good work!! It's inspiring reading how all the little payments keep you going. I can't wait to begin my snowball next month especially as most of our debt is now 0%!!

Total Debt on Jan 1st 2016 £36415Amount paid off so far: £00 -
You're doing amazingly well; have subscribed to this thread for extra inspiration
survey wise glad going well with yougov; could also try populus live and pinecone. Can't be screened out of pinecone and I've got about 88% success rate of completion on populus live. Also populus pays you £1 for every 5 minutes,cash out is a cheque for £50; I signed up on January 1st and already at £43

Hi tjh1412 and thanks for popping in.
Thanks for the tip on populus I will definitely be checking that one out. I signed up to a few survey sites but quickly lost interest when I kept getting screened out.
So far so good with yougov surveys and I will be looking at signing up to populus tooSP 9#531=£620/SP 10 # 531=?PDBX 2016 #2 = £16,766.67/£12,000
