Fall too Pieces

Hay if I can drop 5-10 quid per week happy days ahead. PA still seems steady I am at the point where I am binning two of my trusted survey sites

U.K. Toluna and Global Test Market are too much work for minimal reward.

Survey wise I am nearly at draw down on opinium research 4 quid to go.

Morning world i hope everyone's well this morning, what are people's plans for this wonderful Friday??

My day has started off awesome 30p in from top cashback I might go paint the town red with it lol

JoJoC

Gosh, what will you do with your 30p Scott?

Not many plans here - working until 4, then taking my son to visit his after school club that he'll be starting in a few weeks. The weekend holds lots of buying of school things...ouch!

Hope the back has eased up today?

It got split lol along with my first payment off PA, PA via paypal paid me £7.28 this morning. I have just done the most weird survey off them the subject being alien languages, but it was a quid for ten mins of randomness.

So i paid four quid off my smallest debt which is now down to £149.08 and i popped a bit in my emergency fund which is nearly in triple figures yay.

My back at the minute is okay i have had to start taking 2 tramadol pre bed about 2 hours before, i wont take the stuff otherwise. When i roll over in my sleep it hurts like !!!! and it wakes me up, the tramadol helps me sleep.

My sister was on tramadol for a short spell when she dislocated two vertebrae and they misdiagnosed it for 5 months! Thankfully once they realised, she was treated quickly and was able to kick the pain relief. I feel for you, it's not easy dealing with pain.

Great progress! I bet it's nice to see that debt tip into the <£150 bracket.

I also did that alien survey, totally bizarre! I had one a few months ago that was about analysing facial expressions whether you thought they were happy or sad. It was a four part survey over a couple of weeks and I earned £10 for that.

Yeah tramadol is horrible stuff i used it alot in the past when i haf a motorbike accident and broke two vertebrae, i am not getting hooked again.

It was weird that survey but i am impressed with the site, 7 quid odd dropped this morning and I have £1.90 confirmed another 5.50 in to be reviewed.

Haha i just wish it was the only one i had, sadly i have about 15 debts half dozen of them are all around the same level 200-300quid. Last time i rang step change to make an overpayment on my dmp it was not straight forward, so i do things this way. Pay the little extras ie cashback/survey money off one debt until its down to 30 quid then i clear it. Stepchange moan when ones paid early but i always say hay they offered me a settlement offer i couldnt refuse. :-)

System

The only survey sites I am using regularly now are PA, You Gov and valued opinions. Seem to get on ok with these.

Making £10-15 pound a week on PA .

Hope your back continues improving .

Yeah i have backed off the survey sites i tend just to use 5-6 now instead of 10 to 12 lol.

There is so many out there that just take so much effort, if PA keeps as it is i think i will just stick to that and the following:

opinion outpost
PA
iPSOs Isay
power of opinions
and you gov
one poll.

I banked another £5.75 on PA this morning.

Regarding Swagbucks its getting binned once i get to my first fiver.

I gave PA a go on my tablet and it is not compatible. Might just be Chrome though.

Hiving works although every time I click on a survey I get a 503 error.

Anyway, with regards to your job, have you considered applying to work at a different Bank?. You might find that they treat you differently there.
Also, you mentioned you are a qualified IFA, so could you earn money by working as a self employed IFA on your days off?

Scott_Weiland_2

I have found that with PA some surveys are fine some i have to dig my laptop out.

Regarding my job its a complicated one, i did look into moving banks at the end of last year and the base salaries were 4000-5000 pa less than mine i cant afford that especially now i am on my own. I work on 4 on 4 off usually i dont drive sadly thats the only thing that has put me off doing free lance stuff as i live in quite a rural area.
