Hooray for payday!  Did you manage to pay the credit card off after?

Hello! Yes I'm doing it now as we speak, wanted to go food shopping and make sure I stayed under the £100 budget! I spent £73 in total, so I can pay off one CC in full

That's brilliant, well done

Thank you, I feel better for it but it seems so much money. But one CC at a time I guess! 

It does but think how good it feels to cross one off the list.  You've got a couple that are less than £200.00 each, maybe you could aim to pay another one off in full next month as long as it doesn't leave you short.

Yes true! Well I'm awaiting £170 from surveys so I'm hoping to pay off the £183 one. Then see what I can pay after that!

Morning all that follow along! 
Awake super early on a Sunday, OH woke me by snoring right in my face it's nice and sunny out already so I'm going to feed the animals then make a coffee and get some washing on the line! Super motivated today, paying off the CC helped me in the right direction! So far so good on my budgets, I've not over spent on anything. My sisters birthday is tomorrow but she's easily pleased so I'll get her something cheap and cheerful which I've budgeted £10 maximum for!

so far this month I've made £276.95 from surveys/product panels! I will use the extra money to pay towards debts!

Can I have the companies you use please, that is a great amount

Sure, main ones I use are,
Panelbase (they occasionally offer product trails, mainly surveys though)
surveybods (surveys)
research opinions (mainly get zoom calls or online communities) doing one currently now for £50 for 5 days and just finished another one for 10 days at £100. 
Onepoll (surveys)
yougov (surveys) 

hope this helps a bit

The only one I'm ever good with is prolific, will have to try the top 3 again

I think if you’re comfortable talking to someone on zoom alone or in a part of a group you should definitely try research opinions they usually pay £50 for an hour, sometimes more. In the past week I’ve managed £150. I got £24 from panelbase which I’m about to cash out soon.

Paid £10 off to ocean finance.
Ocean Finance £173.24. 
Managed to get my sister a birthday present via ebay but used some nectar points to buy this! 

BlueJ94

To do list;
Recheck my budget done!
hang more washing out done! 
hoover and mop when OH gets up doing before bed so no one can make the floors dirty again!
clean windows done 
bake some bread (ended up baking cinnamon muffins so I guess it counts?)
going to clean the inside of the car soon and wait for it to stop being so sunny and wash the outside! done with the help of OH

I’m feeling pretty motivated today!

You're doing great and that's a nice amount to make off the surveys!
