    Here it is. There's a £1 bonus when you cash out the first time. The referral link shares the bonus between us :)

    Thanks. I'll sign up today and see how I get on with it :). Thanks for recommending prolific too. I really love it. I've made £45 since the start of May which has all come off the mortgage :D.

    A small overpayment of £19 this morning, from cashing out on prolific and Qmee :j
    I am liking the new cash out system on prolific where you can now cash out with less than £20.
    That £19 has saved me £12 in interest over the long run :money: and had brightened up a Tuesday commute :beer:

    I'm on a new strategy of little and often.

    Except we booked a holiday for next year at the weekend, so it will be littler than it otherwise would have been, but oh well, needs must :D

    Little OPs definitely make a positive difference over time. The new no fee P@ypal option with Prolific is a definite improvement :j

    Holiday planning important too - its all about the balance :cool:

    Thanks teapot2. It's definitely important to keep the balance. Fortunately DH keeps me in check/balanced, or I would throw everything at it.

    It's a survey site. It has an app which is handy. The surveys are relatively well paid. More do than onepoll, not as good as prolific, but they get put on pretty frequently. You can be screened out fairly often, but I generally seem to do okay. The last few days have been great for me, have earned about £4 in my commute and you can cash out any amount which is handy :T it's also less cluttered looking than swagbucks, which I much prefer.

    Doing surveys on the way to work is a great idea. I would do it but we drive and lose signal for most of the journey :(.
