Well its being a love day off today, i was up at 7am in the gym for 8 and i did a chest weights session followed by 700 metre swim, 8km on the bike then 1.25 km of running. From there i have eaten like a horse and done surveys. My garmin watch says i have burnt 1500 calories ish and i have eaten triple that lol, if i posted what i have ate i would get called a fat lad lol.
Survey wise i havent done loads just a couple of Qmee surveys and i have got opinion outpost at nearly draw point, i need 5 more points0 -
I use my survey earnings to put away for treats , I get about £20 a month . Great to hear you are training again . Getting rid of one debt spurs you on to keep hammering the rest. Are you still on the motorbike for transport .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Wow - I'd probably no longer be on this earth if I did that much exercise in one go! Hope the fitness regime is keeping your mind in a good place

I'm not surprised you need to eat a ton if you're burning 1500 cals!
Delighted that another debt will bite the dust this weekend. Well done!Sealed Pot Challenge 075

Haha i cant wait for the day when i am debt free and i can use it for treats.
Re the bike at the minute no its locked away it has being so cold and icy up here lately i am not chancing it, come april i will start using it again.0 -
Well its being a productive day for me so far, i have done 4-5 prolific academic surveys the sites at 3.20 confirmed and 4 quid in pending for me.
I have also started doing lifepoints surveys again what was (global test market) there new site seems canny i have completed a couple of surveys on there. Thats all 330points its 550 for drawdown i think.
I also had a pick up of some stuff from a company called enviroclothes, they are north east based but selling a load of old trainers and clothes that no longer fit thats made me £4.60 richer. I have a load more clothes i need to sort through so i will be using them again soon. That £4.60 is going straight in the bank later and i will get it paid straight of my debits and into my emergency fund which is at a tiny 7quid.
Today i also had a cd and dvd and book clear out i am waiting on a postage label coming from Ziffit and that will be another 6quid in the clearing debt kitty when it arrives.0 -
