Oh my well done you!!  I have just broken the £600 figure on Prolific, its definitely the best paid survey site. x

Completely agree! I have you to thank for me going back to the site too so I’m very grateful

Hope you don't feel too bad with your cold virus. I had it the other week and it really did drain me for a few days. My advice is plenty of vitamin C & D, honey for a sore throat and lots of rest. This rainy weather isn't helpful is it?  You need sunshine. Just rest and do surveys. x

Hope you feel better soon. Well done on the survey money that’s an amazing amount 😃

Thanks 😊 I have been doing some surveys after work and have just cashed £4 out from c-cat. Sent that to CC7.

I forgot to add, my bank switching bonus has been paid and in my account this afternoon, which is fab! 

I will add this to my ‘free money’ total but it’s being saved for Christmas groceries rather than the credit card.

Morning LMD,

sorry you are feeling dosed, lots of rest and hot chocolate/lemsip. I have to agree on Prolific - it is very slow at the minute but curious c is doing well for me so thanks for the recommendation.

I’m going to book my January holiday today, so will also have something to look forward to.

Thanks everyone, I'm still under the weather this morning but it will make for another NSD for me today if I'm huddled on the sofa rather than being able to go out. As usual, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for surveys  

As it's only 1 more week to pay day, I have sent £15 to CC7 as my PAD this morning. This puts my final payment under £500 and I can start thinking about bringing that DFD closer by another month.  I will have a look at the spreadsheet this weekend and see what's probable, given the cost of living. 

I have squirrelled the First Direct bonus away so that doesn't accidentally get spent. We will start planning a Christmas menu and grocery list this weekend, the turkey is already ordered based on those invited as we are only waiting for one more person to confirm now. 

I have another manic day at work today, but I have next Friday off for our black Friday girls shopping trip so at least I have that to look forward to!  Last few Christmas bits to buy and some treats for myself! 

I hope everyone has a great Friday

I really do commend your meticulous record keeping LMD.
From my point of view all I know is my debt free date is Jan 24 latest as that’s when my big savings scheme matures. 

In the meantime I’m hoping regular PADding along with the scheduled minimum payments will have it cleared a lot sooner.
I did try Crowdology for surveys a while back but after getting to about ten pounds found I was regularly getting screened out. The fact that you have made over £500 from surveys alone is very impressive, likewise @Shell16

LittleMissDetermined

I'm certain with the efforts you are making @Antomac you will be cleared well before then.  I am just very much a planner and I get obsessive, I've always been the same but it's better to be fixated on clearing debt and saving than on any frittering.  I think having to clear so much when we were going through the mortgage application etc really helped me focus and I really haven't looked back since.  My spreadsheet has a debt plan tab which projects debt repayments against what I have outstanding and I update this with every PAD I make so it's easy for me to keep a track of where I am.

I think when I have cleared by debts I will still continue to do the surveys etc and put that towards my sealed pot instead.

Speaking of which, I have just cashed £7 from Prolific and will send that to CC7 now.
