  • I agree about Curious Cats, they drive me insane

    I still haven't downloaded Huyu yet. Best a get a move on if its going to take me 100 receipts to get £5....lol. 
    No time like the present! Snap My Eats is the one I make most money on, it's capped at £5 a month but it's £5 for 25 receipts

    Another £7 sent to CC7 for me this evening too.  It's been another good day for debt busting

  • Managed to get a £6 cash out from Prolific so I have sent that over to CC7.  I have also signed up to a couple of mystery shop companies and I have my first assignment! (shhhhhh!) :D  It's not a big paying one, but it will be good to ease me into the process.

  • Is it safe having to give bank details? Looking at Tern. Have you actually had any work with them & been paid ok?

    From the reviews they are a reputable company. The only thing they can do with my bank details is pay money in or set up a direct debit, which I would get a notification for and they are protected. 

    My assignment is with Tern so I will report back and let you know

  • Ooh good luck. Think I'll sign up. I did do mystery shopping several years ago. Can't remember the company, but it wasn't  a very good one.

  • Morning all, I have been awake since 6am as it's pay day and I have sorted the budget and decided that due to the overpayments on CC7 last month. it's safe to pay the usual amount now and then use my PADs for the minimum payment (£61) throughout the month.  So I have been colouring in my charts this morning :)

    Today's PAD was £1302 to various places, and even though it's pay day, it should be a NSD but I will declare later just in case. It's a bit early just yet.

    My sealed pot declaration is £2611.08 but there are some reasons for the high amount. It includes almost £700 of penny challenge money and there's also a lot of Christmas and birthday money in there because I didn't know what I wanted. I'm off to post this info, including the reasons on the SPC thread.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Wow that's a very impressive amount, well done! I hope you're going to treat yourself with the birthday/Christmas money at some stage. Happy payday, I still have to wait until Monday 🙁
