    Hello Miss P, nice to have you on board, be good to have some mutual encouragement/ nagging when needed ;) Free money is rather lovely isn't it?! :D

    Have a good day too xx

    Oh you know me hon, queen nag of nagging town!! can always be replied upon for *ahem* encouragement whenever a kick up the bu.... oops sorry i mean encouragment is so required!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    day off today woooooooooo

    Lots of time to search other money making ventures, going to take a look at the l+g life insurance on Quidco. sounds asthough it may be worth doing for £6 per month and £80 cashback. :D
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!

    Yep what Pania said :D

    I think I'll be in need of some serious bu... encouragement once the initial flurry has calmed down, I can be very guilty of getting fed up with things if I'm not getting instant results :o

    Quidco thing sounds interesting, I keep meaning to have a look through their home insurance deals as I need to sort out contents insurance, see if I can get something cheap-ish with good cashback. Am wondering if there's any more potential with the 'design your own tshirt' site I mentioned earlier, I'm still amazed anyone bought anything!! I don't think the actual site is very well marketed so maybe I need to think about setting up my own website with a link through to that one for 'sales'.. maybe a waste of time, but who knows.... I could be a budding internet entrepreneur :confused: :rotfl:

    Hi redsquirrel - like pania, I've only seen this for the first time this morning - this is one effect of the numbers on the board these days, I suppose. This is absolutely brilliant, what a great idea!

    Thinking about your realisation that it won't be the millionaire lifestyle once you're debt free- but, you know, the effect of not doing all this constant thinking and not-doing of fiddly bits that are very low per hour income, like the surveys and whatnot, is going to be enormous, I think - maybe thats cos I obsess about it, lol - but, whatever, I think its great. I'm not going to formally join in, at the moment anyway, cos I'm keeping track of the matched betting money and the Olympic Challenge money, and dividing it in other ways as well is going to get too time-consuming (meaning less time to earn money, lol!) but I'll be thinking of it too.

    Good luck! And thanks!

    Hi guys, wanted to say nice thread and you are doing great.

    I have made some cash thru Quidco/Pigsback but i find that after the first 3-4 months you tend to have signed up to everything and things dry up.... So i'll be watching to see how it all works out for you in the longer term. So i can get some tips!!

    Have had mixed success on bingo sites, not yet tried MB - not sure i can grasp it but trying to get my OH to give it a go.

    Have you considered Mystery Shopping, i do one or two a month, usually pays £10 a time, and it's not too time consuming.

    Keep up the good work! but bear in mind that things tend to slow down once you have signed up to everything, but if you're doing surveys/clicks etc then you should keep steadily moving along.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    That's a very good point KC, do you think you'll stop doing all those extra bits straight away? I think it could be hard to get out of the habit of it all, but it will be nice to not have to do all these surveys etc, just to do it when it suits for a bit of extra cash/ treats.

    Thanks Maz, yeah I know what you mean about the slowdown - Pigsback is particularly bad! Not tried Mystery Shopping - a couple of my work colleagues have signed up to a few but not had much work from them. Did sign up to an online shopping one but still have to do the initial assessment for that, must get it done!!

    Damn, just discovered a miscalculation on the Bingo front, tenner less than I thought :rolleyes:

    Had a night off from it all last night, watched the football and had an early night, need to do something a bit more productive tonight! Still, it is nice being two weeks away from payday and not being too stretched :)
