    Could I join in please - aiming for £310. I had to abandon April for various personal reasons, though I've just checked and I did get to £250 so not too bad x

    FINALLY started on Mays total with £35 from an eBay sale and £24.35 from MB, I was getting impatient as my surveys are adding up nicely but trying to get PA over £20 before I withdraw (if only those pending amounts would become approved I'd be well over that!) 1P is slow going this time around and YG is only at £40 so another £10 to go on that one.

    Nectar points are adding up nicely! up to £140 but I save these for Christmas so I won't be counting these until December.

    All going in the right direction but frustrating that none of it is able to be added to my total yet :o

    Total so far of £59.35 :D
    :j PAID VERY, Barclaycard x3, Vanquis, Natwest, O/D, Tesco & MBNA x2 PAID :j LBM 24/07/15 - Original Debt: £0/31010.23 (100% paid) :eek:
    Mortgage - £151.316.54 :eek:

    Well done on the £250 you made, sunshine:T. Considering you weren't able to go full tilt at April to the very end that's a brilliant achievement:T

    Good Luck in May:beer:

    When you go to cash out at Prolific you'll see that Paypal now charge fees even on payments over £20:mad:. There's been a lot of talk about this on the Prolific Alerts thread:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5383079&page=244

    This is the page where most of the discussion starts (post 2437 onwards), just a few pages before that too but some of that's a bit confusing!

    Looks as if a lot of people have opted to be paid via Circle instead of Paypal as there are no fees that way.

    No money received since my boot sale profit on Monday. Can't see anything on the horizon either:(. No surveys anywhere near payout levels and TCB cashback still with a few weeks to go to being claimable.


    I applied to Unex postal surveys (thanks, Aesop:T) but they emailed to say they haven't a vacancy in my postcode area at the moment. They gave me a participant number though so I assume I've been accepted pending a vacancy:j


    Tried to enrol OH in the TNS postal surveys (that I'd been booted off:() but got no further than inputting our postcode before I got the message that they don't want anyone in our postcode:mad:. I suspect I've scuppered it for anyone who applies in this area forevermore.

    Did a car boot sale yesterday, part of a Mayday Fun Day which attracted lots of families and people who probably wouldn't normally go to car boots;). Made £131 after fees and just wish I'd had better stuff to sell as the sale was heaving. Another plus, I won a prize in the raffle, a voucher for a free cut and blowdry at a local-ish hairdresser :j.... Any advice please, Aesop and Lynne?
    Brilliant - well done :T :T and thoroughly agree you should count the winning haircut :D

    So I won £1.25 yesterday on a free daily lottery, waiting for it to go to my paypal.

    Today I have completed some prolific academic surveys totalling £5.67 and already have £2 cleared. So when that clears will be withdrawing it.

    I just completed a pinecone survey for £3. Waiting for that to be paid.

    Nearly there to my £10 a day :j

    Unfortunately this won't happen everyday but its a good start.

    I also checked my tesco clubcard account as wanted to change my email and am looking to make £50 in clubcard vouchers to buy a Merlin pass.

    Found a tesco voucher expiring at the end of this month :eek::eek: luckily I was talking to customer service and they have renewed it for me so won't expire at the end of this month.

    I am also going to download the https://www.payqwiq.com/ app and go and earn my 500 free clubcard points, equivalent of £20 if used in boost. It all adds up!

    Anyone looking to buy a now tv box? buy it from Tesco for 500 clubcard points which can be converted in boost.

    I am also running swagbucks apps in the background. I missed out on my daily bonus yesterday as fell asleep and tablet charger fell out and tablet switched off.

    But it all helps. There is a current swagbucks challenge on too. A star wars themed one. If you are in the winning team you will get bonus swagbucks.
    Well done on all the winnings :dance: :dance:
    Sounds like you've really been busy and thanks a million for sharing all the tips :D
