Hustling My Way to Debt Freedom. - Take 2

Morning
I'm trying to find methods of getting payments for this challenge. I downloaded the Five Surveys app last night (get paid £5 for every 5 surveys). Not the quickest surveys in the world, but I got my first £5 and it's instantly paid into PayPal. I wanted something I can do on my phone, so if I'm waiting for an appointment, or have some free time when I'm out and about, I can go on there and do a survey. Even just 1 a day would be better than nothing.
Today's Payment - £5 (From Five Surveys). New Total - £67.32

Going to attempt to clear this by Friday.

Hi everyone - looking doubtful I'll get this debt cleared tomorrow. Been a busy week and haven't had much time for surveys etc. Still a slim chance I'll get there, if all of my Prolific surveys get approved by tomorrow - so looking doubtful.
Today's Payment - £4.50 (from Vinted). New Total - £14.29
