    £10 for a catch up with an old friend and putting the world to right seems a bit of a bargain. Well done on the surveys too. I don't have the patience for them so I take my hat off to you.

    I find 1poll quite good, do it daily and the £40 soon adds up for 10-15 mins a day.

    My car started great first thing this morning and I headed off to the gym with no problems. If it's fixed for £60 I'm happy.

    After Zumba I went into school for an hour, our new headteacher was there so chatted to him for a bit.

    Went to the tip with my sons carpet and then my parents called over for a visit. It's been a busy Wednesday.

    Carpet being fitted tomorrow

    My best are one poll, opinium, you gov and prolific - I find they are consistently good. I just dont get Swagbucks for some reason - I never seem to build up any points.

    It's easy money though and i just log in whilst I'm watching TV.

    Well what a very busy and productive day! Carpet fitters came around 11 and were all done by 12.

    My son and I moved and cleaned all afternoon and his 'new' room looks great.

    I did a small shop for £25 as my boys are away with their dad from Tuesday and we go to Cornwall on Thursday. I've done a meal plan for the next few days.

    Friday - veg soup and bread
    Saturday - chicken burgers
    Sunday - chicken curry
    Monday - egg on toast
    Tuesday - pizza
    Wednesday- whatever's left in the fridge....

    Paid £10 off my cc from surveys and TopCashback! Still waiting for £70 to clear on there.

    Re Swagbuck a few things to try and i hope these help:


    Download the app you can do surveys on it and the daily poll on there.

    Get a mate to join swagbucks, you will earn swag bucks as they do.

    Make sure everyday you do the daily poll and daily crave thats 4sb a day for next to nothing.

    With swagbucks every survey you get binned from you get one 1sb upto the first 5-10 surveys i think.

    And finally do what i do stick boring videos on as you watch tv.

    DS loves his room and DP and I weren't disturbed by him at all :T it's money well spent but my savings are depleted now.

    Went to the gym this morning. Came back and put some washing in but didn't dare peg it out when it had finished - the sky was turning black. After a little shower I walked over to the garage to pay them the £60 for fixing my car. Happy that it wasn't more.

    Lunch was feta salad. Tea was carrot an coriander soup to use up veg we have in.

    I did some ironing this afternoon ready to give to my EXh for my boys holiday next week. They go early Tuesday morning so need to be at their dads Mon eve.

    Busy day tomorrow as going to the gym, car needs valeting before we go away next week and I really need to get some thank you cards from the Works for the kids in my class who bought me end of year gifts. I also need to start thinking what we need for our holiday next week and get the case ready!

    PA is very slow today - I've done 2 surveys earning £1.10 and have £6.57 on there.

    Morning!

    Just logged into PA and there is a £20 survey on there! You have to do it in 3 parts which i thought I wouldn't be able to do but it works out ok. PA is really good, best survey site!

    9 NSD for August so far....and ages to payday!
