    I am hoping it will be an approx extra £50 a month towards my debt due to the interest I will be saving so I am really pleased, never thought I would be able to get a 0% so just shows that plugging away slowly does really help :D

    That's a great amount to save and as you pay more off the less interest you pay so more comes off debt so win win situation

  • Morning all,
    I had a juicy survey on prolific yesterday for £7.50 which they have approved already so managed to withdraw £10.63 today which has gone straight off the CC! NSD planned for today and a few of my eBay items have rolled over as no bids.
    The boys have gone into school for the first day today, I am in the office but leaving at 2:30 so I can pick them up which will be nice, manic day today and been a bit pants really in work! nothing much else to report really apart from 2days till payday!!!

    Lovely Prolific survey. I've not had any big ones pop up for a long time but even then I can't usually do them as they take too long and I'm wfh.  Think I'll be lucky to get to £5 to cash out this month! 😂

  • Ooo that is a juicy survey! I don't really have time to do those kind of ones or to check regularly but have done a lot on one poll lately and it's adding up rather quickly I have to say and they only take a minute or two.

  • @Sarahwithlove @Naomim I rarely have chance either but luckily I was on hold for ages yesterday and it had taken over my pc so I did it whilst I couldn't crack on with everything lol  :) I don't seem to be getting many atm but they do seem to be paying very quickly x

    I should have a look at onepoll.  I think I used to do it years ago.
