The Great 'Instant Cash Injection for January' Hunt

Thanks luxor4t - I've promised myself that I'll go through my shelves this month, so can raise some cash as well!

If you enjoy / don't mind doing online surveys, try

http://uk.lightspeedpanel.com

You can earn points for each survey you complete (there's a prize draw as well); these vary but average about £1 per survey. You can trade your points in for various things, but I usually exchange points for cash into my PayPal account (115 points per £1).

hey, you just put your details in on the homepage that the above poster said and then you register. they need your email address as thats the way they send you surveys etc.
If you're a pigsback member though, or if you're interested in becoming one, i think you can get 100 or 200 (worth £1 or £2 im just not sure off the top of my head which amount is right) points for joining through them, so that might be worth looking at!

Hi

I'm interested in the lightspeed thing but couldn't see anywhere to register on the web site.

Can anyone let me know.

Also, any sites to register for the mystery shopper thing?

Cheers

I couldn't find anywhere to register on it either - went through pigsback, but looks like you can't use the link to that as it's personalised - but it does bring up a page on which to register instead of just the log in page.

Here's the one for pigsback (it's 200 points)

There's a whole 3 threads on mystery shopping, but if you read the first page on this one, it'll tell you about which companies to join.

Thanks for the info about the selling books. Think my GF will be very interested in that!

Just be careful on this one!!!
Before Christmas, I was bemoaning the fact that we pay £195/year to Benenden Health (old Civil Service scheme) and have never used the services.
I go to the doctors last week, who tells me that I have a problem that can only be rectified by surgery.
We make an appointment on line with a consultant, wait months and that was that - or so I thought.
My wife rang Benenden and they said they can help on the costs and as it's not a major op should be covered at a private Nuffield hospital!!

Benenden is a wonderful scheme open to teachers as well as civil servants, and is surprisingly cheap. We pay approx £30 a month and it is worth every single penny.

I have had two very necessary operations with Benenden, the dates came through surprisingly quickly, Under the NHS the first would have meant a wait of almost a year, the second would have taken even longer,
both were painful and debilitating conditions.

OH had a cataract completely sorted out inside 12 weeks - it takes longer than that here just for the first appointment!
