What happens if you just lie to them ?

a) you don't know which ones are gonna kick out for not having sprogs/a car/a job vs surveys actively looking for the childless unemployed walkers among us, so you don't know which ones to lie to.

b) you can theoretically have your account shut down and any unclaimed money lost forever if they notice

Oh - You said "WALKERS..." - had to do a triple take on that one ! :rotfl:

I hit the problem that my sprogs have all left home and I have a "German Car" (old - but they don't ask ! )

'nother £ 5ish bay wyse but even with my "exceptionals" I'll be struggling this month unless I sell one or two of my biggies.

I'm available for all your maths needs :rotfl:

75p on VO, so now I'm £1.50 towards my next amazon voucher (£14 to go!)

Also I'm over 1/4 of the way to £5 on paypal with receipthog now - 463 points of 1500

Still plugging away on bounts as well - although neither of my gyms are linked to it so can't get points without paying for premium which defeats the purpose. So only getting points for walking and not going to the gym constantly which is a bummer.

Especially since you only get points after 7,000 steps which is like 3.5 - 4 miles or something. I live so close to the city centre (1 mile from central station) that I often don't hit that because I don't need to walk that far for anything but uni!

360 / 2778 for a £10 gift card :eek:

Can you give me a bit more info on this earning for walking thing?

In my job, I must walk miles being on my feet all day. Cheers

£13.60 for 2 days tips to add for me and another £5 payout from mail rewards.
On a weeks hol now though so tips wont be forthcoming.

Sure thing. Aesop introduced me to it. It's a smartphone app called "Bounts"

You link it up to a compatible step-counting app (Moves works for the iPhone - it's what I use) or like a fitbit or something and you get 5 points per 7,000 steps or for checking in to associated gyms.

So like

7,000 - 13,999 steps: 5 points
14,000 - 20,999 steps: 10 points

etc

ETA: if you have an iPhone, it requires iOS 8 to run meaning the app can't be downloaded on anything older than a 5. I don't know the requirements for Android/Windows.

Thanks. I earn a lot more now due to the input of people on this board, so Its good to at least try and give a little back. Strength in numbers, shared knowledge and good karma!

Strength in numbers eh - it's a great little thread here and everyone's soo helpful and supportive. Power to the people

Don't do that. It will make it harder to clear the debt and there are other things that might come into play.

Not sure why you say it would be harder to clear? - was much easier for me!

Had a pretty good morning at the table top sale, better than I expected as these kind of rural events can be a bit hit and miss:(. Nice jolly crowd of buyers and the weather was better today too so didn't keep everyone huddled round their fires:j

Managed to raise £39.20 after £5 table fee but was naughty and treated myself to a cup of tea and 2 cheap paperbacks that I've wanted to read for ages so there's £1.30 to deduct from that.

It's nice not to be perishing cold for a change :j

That was well spotted. Great, unexpected dosh as well and I think you probably deserved the cuppa and books


Yes - quite a bit warmer here today as well :j

How are you doing with that challenge Fairyclicks? I've been de cluttering for over a year now and haven't kept tally since the beginning, but I know over 2k has gone through my PayPal alone. I'll try to sell anything! I'm pretty close to the end now and at the point where I sell to keep on top of general turnover of 'stuff'.

I've been at the decluttering for years too and dear knows how much i made before :rotfl: just really started working on this challenge at beginning of jan using 10,000 steps idea and its going really well so far - only completed about 40 steps and made over £300 already - its keeping me really focused
