    Oh, the irony.
    I joined, and recieved my first survey earlier this week. having got half way through. I decided that for 3 quid, it just wasn't worth it. It went on and on and on. I then stopped and sent message that I no longer wished to participate.

    Since then, I've had two emails on consecutive days from them to ask, "please will you complete the survey, we will extend the time limit for you to do so". I think it's because I fall outside the usual.

    I used to knock doors to survey, but only a wide cross section of the population ensured that I was paid.
    Try getting one of a working pair to answer Q's, when supper's ready and Soaps have started.:confused:
    Yesterday, I went to complete it. I felt so tired, and have now realised I have just the worst cold and feel dreadful. I haven't done it. I feel so guilty, that other's want it so much.
    On top I have a 500 mile round trip to make this Saturday.

    Frankly, for £3, I'd sooner wash my neighbour's car, babysit, mow their lawn or walk their dog.

    At the end of the day it is £3 (or £4 in many peoples cases) for 15 minutes work.

    I have switched to Paypal, sounded like the easier option and I'd prefer to have the money to do with what I like. I have £12 worth of Luncheon vouchers though but may try and use them in my local Wetherspoons one weekend for lunch :)

    i'veused my vouchers in Sainsbury's without any probs. I have switched to paypal though so i can put it towards debts. As part of the Payment a Day thread every little counts!

    Has anyone had surveys recently? I've not had any since Christmas. They were coming quite regularly up until then.
    One step at a time ;)

    Me three - nothing since Christmas except an email to tell me about paypal and the referral link - which said they were expanding, so why the survey drought? :confused:

    I've had about 6 surveys since I was accepted (about Sept last year, I think) ... they pretty much came along about one every 3 - 4 weeks. No product tests which is a shame, but hey! Thems the breaks I guess ...

    Lets hope the survey 'drought' ends soon, eh?

    Cos how can you be gloomy, when the sun shines out your bum? :D
