Hello KC - sorry been offline a few days and just seen your query about emoticons … in case Gally the source of all smilies hasn't replied, the site to which her diary first directed me and which I still find easiest is sherv … but there are others too
Congrats on starting with Linkdin … I'm not a big fan of social media (aside obviously from this board, but it's probably part of the reason it's taken me a while to get going) but everyone told me I had to do the L for work things. It is a bit scary who they suggest though … apparently something to do with browsers and search terms but once I got past thinking I had to accept everyone I saw it's pretty easy to ignore … I put a lot of time in about 2 years ago and now don't spend too much effort on it, but do find it useful - hope that helps!Fleabay + Weebuy + Gumfree since started diary 94 items sold, £649.71 clear profit0 -
Hey KC.
Loved the latest mogblog.0 -
I'm the worlds worst with social media.
I am on Facebook, but the last time I logged in was around 2 years ago!
I love interacting on forums but for some reason I'm not so keen interacting on line in my real name.
It's a bit freaky that a person from your past popped up like that - I must admit, I wonder who I would be associated with, but not quite enough to join up!Early retired - 18th December 2014

Definitely trickier doing it in your real name!
2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Some internet-friends-become-RL-friends popped in yesterday :j:j:j twas very lovely :beer:
Had quite a long rest after that but did manage to check out my online banking in the evening, since I'm a you know what customer. Seems okay. I don't even want to write the name of the firm, though, don't want to lay myself open to attacks!
ETA - I reached my yougov turning point! Money has been ordered!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Woo hoo, congratulations on the yougov payout - that's a lesson in patience and waiting and persistence! :money:0

...ETA - I reached my yougov turning point! Money has been ordered!
Woo hoo! - Long time coming that 50 quid! - congratulations on getting there!
I'm doing well using the evening commute for various surveys - can slowly see all the payouts becoming nearer & nearer...
yougov is only at 1475 points though - they keep sending me those ones where the only payout is a contest entry - so takes longer for that balance to budge!

(24 OCT 2016)(With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)17 YEARS 4 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS0 -
