Trooper is lovely, waiting to try the new Red & Black but it's not local to me

Doing surveys while watching something is a good idea, then it won't seem like so much time wasted. I am going to try it and just hope I can still follow the plot!

Trooper is lovely Asda has it in there 4 bottles for a fiver.

Yeah the surveys in front of the tele does pay even 1-2 hours a day if you can spare it is worth it. I have made close too 1000 pound off them this year.

I am confined too the house today my oh was on nights last night so i have too look after the vandals. I didnt sleep well last night so i did my Dean Karnazes impression very badly at 2am ie i went for a 2 mile run. It worked it knocked me out when i got in.

Feeling really good today and i am sorely tempted too pack in my meds, the endorphin rush from exercise beats it by a mile. I have rang too reschedule an appointment with my counsellor only too find she has being signed off on the sick theres irony lol

Huskyrunner

I am still laughing too myself that my counsellor has being signed off on the sick.

I feel really up today only downside is my little running adventure has me walking like a man 90.

Nsd for me today.

re surveys i am doing really well , global test market is upto 945 points drawdown amount is 1086 too get 30quid via paypal.

One poll i am at 35.10 draw down is 40 quid.

I am another five points away from a fiver off opinion outpost.

And uktoluna i am at 2000 points only another 183000 points too go lol

I do other surveys but i tend to earn best from these sites.

Hi Huskyrunner

It's really interesting to see which survey sites others find to be the best payers or best for them.

I just can't get on with Toluna - their payouts seem so far off! Well done though on earning so much from surveys - £1000 this year is very impressive.

I find Panelbase, PopulusLive and Pinecone to be really good for me, plus I like Opinion Outpost. I have heard a lot of people mention Global Test Market - perhaps I should give them a try. I once did Swagbucks in my spare time almost solidly for 3 months just to get £100. That was about a year ago - I just can't bring myself to go back!

Good luck on your debt busting journey. I am just starting mine.

Hi Smolly thanks for popping in

I do have too agree with you regarding uktoluna i tend too get too the magic 35 quid draw down point every 4-5 weeks. I have some tips regarding uk toluna and how too get there faster nothing dodgy dont worry.

1) download there mobile app they will send you loads of little surveys on there some might be 15 points, some maybe 300-400 points as an example. I logged into the app on my phone yesterday and i think there was 12 15 point surveys, then i check again while the wife was in the post office and there was another 5 30 point surveys. I tend too kill dead time checking on my phone ie train too from work, waiting for a bus yadda yadda. The 15pointers do seem too be frequent and do help, uktoluna use them as profiling surveys for the bigger ones.

2) Dont do surveys they email you they tend too i find have a very very high kick out rate.

3) Log onto there site and be picky and choosey re the surveys you do
anything thats marked as 1000-1500 points jump straight onto it. The reason i say this is it will be probably 6-7 mins of your time if you get booted havent wasted 15 mins of your time.

4) When you look at avaliable surveys always pick any surveys over others thst are 50 points or 100points or 150points upto say 1500-2200. At least then if your screened out your not losing out. ie 50-1200points.

5) Finally anything over 3000 points dont bother with screening out after 25mins is as annoying as hell.


Yeah i sat and worked it out on paypal the other day/going through statements etc re the 1000. I have being off work quite a bit being poorly this year the surveys have helped a tiny bit re loss of income.

Re global test market i would seriously give it a go. I try too just do one survey a day on there then i will push too try and do more when i get nearer the 1086 point mark. The advantage of global test market is they pay out quick, uk toluna take weeks where global test i have had payment in 4-5 days.

Swagbuck meeeehhhhhh lol used too use a waste of time.

Opinion outpost i love i have made around 200-250 on it this year.

re populus i wish they would email me more surveys.

2 others i like are yougov and opinium research had approaching 100 off yougov this year and opinium research 75quid.

Huskyrunner

A tiny update re me i have just received my post through two letters from creditors :-)

1st credit have offered me a reduced settlement offer which i am going too have too decline.

Second i have a letter from wescot which helps me update some balances.

Thirdly i have received through my online pin which helps me keep an eye on my emergency fund with the post office. I opened an online savings with the post office balance all of a pound lol

Upto 1035 on global test market 51 points too go then £€£€£$$$

Huskyrunner

Done thats 30 quid on the way from global test market my work for the day with surveys is done lol.

so thats £35 from uk toluna i am now waiting on
30 from gtm
4 pounds from ukhiving

I am nearly there with one poll if i can crack the 40 pound barrier with that happy happy days that will be pushing 100 this month not counting opinion outpost earnings. Sorry i know 100 is not a great deal but it will take so much pressure off me and my oh.

My salary is usually 1600 because i have exhausted my work sickpay i am on ssp which last month with a tax rebate was 440pounds. This month should be slightly more as at work we get quartly bonuses and i am getting a token bonus of 300 as i went off sick part of the way through a personel development period.

You're doing great with the surveys

Huskyrunner

Its kinda my therapy they keep me occupied while i am off work lol

If i sit about on the meds i am on i will sleep all day or ruminate over and over about the state of my debts/my illness/and where i live etc
