no pay TV, use a lot of vouchers, gain a few thousand a year from cashback and surveys,

You've amazed me again Alex. Very impressed with your financial management but how do you survive with no pay TV? My wife has just upped ours to the full package including Sky Sports etc. - £99 per month including the discount!! A few thousand a year from cashback and surveys - interested to know more about how you earn that via cashback with so little spending.

Is that a serious question?
I have more TV choice than I need with Freesat.

Sky would surely just give me even more channels filled with rubbish I wouldn't want to watch. I can get that from the Beeb already.

That's a mad amount it be paying for tv.

We've got bt, no sky sport or movies but bt sport and the dozens or hundreds of channels you never watch, £35 a month including phone and Internet.

We are straying off topic now but it's not unreasonable to earn £1k each from cashback and surveys each year. Some of that that comes from switching banks, intro offers on ISAs, credit cards and life insurance. My wife does loads of online surveys, product trials, focus groups, etc. There's a research company that buys our junkmail and another that wants us to tell them all the food we buy, etc. Plus there's another £500 to £1k to be earned from stoozing.

That's a good price. Who you are as with we were getting the same for around £77 per month with Virgin before this latest 'deal' with them? I think we'll need to look at it again.
