    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.
    re the 5 quid survey avoid as crazy as it sounds i always avoid the bigger ones.

    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.

    Result re the overtime, in the words of the great debt free philosopher Asdamedes

    "Every Little Helps"
    Asdamedes really made me grin 🤣 Thanks Scott, I will have a look at Qmee as well today.

    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.

    I've got two bets on today, which will bring in £14.39.

    Won 20p on PPs new free game, nothing on any other spins, completed all my surveys. 

    Going to check banks, DDs and switches now. Then once lazy OH gets up I'll put my first of many many washes on. Two days of proper work and the house goes to poop 🙄

    Got a bit confused with all the deposits and bets and liabilites etc, so just worked it all out, and by the end of today I'll be up £32.73 in total. So nearly covered the cost of the school trip!

    I've lost a couple of people fairly close together, and it has rocked me, but we move. Thank you for asking :)

    My second lot of bets today did something weird with 2 goals up offer and I won on both 🤣 so another £7.14. I've got another £5 builder to place, and a qualifying bet to go through with this evening's games. 

    Listed 41 things on Vinted & one on FB, sold something for £5 already 🙌

    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 haha

    £1.90 won on free spins this morning & £10.37 on last night's bets. I don't have time to check surveys before work today, so I'll do those later or maybe during a coffee break.
