  • If you haven't already get signed up for a cashback account and then some survey sites. There you go 13 and 14 done for you!!

  • Wow good luck will look forward to hearing how you get on - inspiring stuff!
  • Ace point! Quidco should get me at least £100 over the course of a year. I've never tried survey sites though. Any suggestions?

    I use swagbucks, which you can earn points with surveys, searches, purchases, games etc. Get about £5 a month in cash (but i dont really work hard at it), but you can get gift cards. If you go to 'boost income' board, you can get more info and tips.

    I also use valued opinions, which now Ive downloaded onto my phone I seem to get more surveys.

  • I like Opinion Outpost and YouGov. I used to the the Nectar ones, but it's often the same surveys as OO, and you can't do most of them twice. I also do maximiles, but that builds points to buy things, rather than actual money (so if you want a new mini barbecue, or a top 40 album it's alright, but it's mostly stuff you wouldn't have bought anyway).

  • A few other ideas for you. Sign up to Free Postcode Lottery and Luckyphone, there are referral links on the referral board. If you check every day there is a chance of winning cash. I won £5 on LP within a few weeks. Also watch out for a Pinecone referral as they pay £3 per survey via Paypal and unlike most sites you dont get screened out.

    Id check out the make £10 a day thread too as they have loads of brilliant ideas for small money earners

    Good Luck on your debt free journey!
