    Its being argued the toss at the minute whether to do it over 1 day or 2. It can be done over 1 but it has to be June ie longer days time etc I would rather do it over 1 as if i ride 60-70 miles then have to sleep in a b and b i wont get up again.lol

    Re logistics one of the lads doing it is an old school friend and he runs the local bikeshop so thats one thing covered. He has a vw caddy which with whipping a few wheels off should fit all the bikes in. We are gunna do whitehaven to Tynemouth, plan is too stop half way along there a cafe/bunk house on the route and do a refuel there.

    Bike shop dudes missus has said she will be water girl half way along and food girl lol and will drop bikes off on the way back etc.

    Many things still need going through ie scran to eat on route and water/food etc. Cereal bars and lots of bananas. My fitness is coming on i did a 55 miler on sunday in an average of 10.3mph. That average needs to be nearer 15-17mph to do this in a day.

    Thanks to everyone who has asked my back is champion now its all fixed. I have started yoga classes once a week i feel stupid being the only dude there but the state of my back needs must.

    Wow - your surveys are paying you pretty well right now! I just got another £20 from PA too, that's me up to £157 i think! I've been doing them since June i reckon.

    I haven't looked at that Opinium Research that you mentioned - worth a look? £25 seems worth it!

    Glad you're having a nice time with your son.
    CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

    July debt total: £24,630.44 | New debt total: £18,316.34 | Total debt paid: £6,414.10 (26%)

    Opinium research is really worth a look definetly, its a steady one to build up. You only get surveys via email, surveys range from 25p upto 75p. It pays out at 25 quid and pays out via paypal or bank transfer. I tend to get 2-3 payouts a year from it but the surveys are short 5-10 mins and its rare to get booted out of surveys.

    Some weeks i get maybe 4-5 emails from them the surveys 80percent of the time are 50p.

    I'm really enjoying the PA surveys, I'm finding they're much more interesting than ones on other sites and much better paid too.
