re the 5 quid survey avoid as crazy as it sounds i always avoid the bigger ones.Pauper1 said:Thanks Scott_Weiland I'll give it a go! I already do Yougov, prolific & one poll, which aren't so annoying, but the 5surveys one does my head in with how far I get in the survey and then it cuts me off.
Won £7.20 with the last betting site, moving on to the next already.
Just cashed out £4.33 sitting in my PP account, won 94p on free spins & completed all my available surveys (except 5surveys...)
Back in Jan I was doing £1 payment a day to my CCs, and then fell off the bandwagon in April. I think it was actually making a big difference. Since I'm generally bringing at least £1 a day in on the matched betting I'm going to start again.
CuriousCat does these 40 points gem survey which are good but i tend to stick with the smaller surveys. Shorter less likely to be booted
Another good survey app which i have used for years is one called QMee have a look at that.1 -
Asdamedes really made me grin 🤣 Thanks Scott, I will have a look at Qmee as well today.Scott_Weiland79 said:Result re the overtime, in the words of the great debt free philosopher Asdamedes

Yesterday's spends:
£35 son's school trip
£128.44 to a CC
£4.08 lunch at work
I also had £12.99 Netflix come out of the wrong account, so need to see what happened there.
Today should be a NSD. I need to sort the living room out ready for the tree, so I will be listing lots of things for sale as they are taking up the most space.

Most of it was baby clothes, and I don't tend to do too well on Vinted with those for some reason, but fingers crossed! Razor blades is a random one hahaScott_Weiland79 said:41 things wow kitchen sink going on there next lol
