    I agree with pigtails re yougov, you don't get screened out & £50 is a nice amount to get. I clocked up a lot around election time so although I'd not long had a payout it's mounting up again. Plus you sometimes get quite topical questions, not 'what yogurt do you buy'.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I was thinking that lol. Her step sister has a hamster which is where all this is coming from and I was thinking of asking if she can borrow it for 2 weeks and see how she gets on with it first.

    well on checking my bank this morning it had mysteriously gone up! Eon have sent me a refund of £50!
    I knew I was that much in credit as I had put my readings online and then was sent a balance. I just assumed they would put the payments down. It will definitely go up in the next few months with the autumn cold soon on our tails!!! (wishing the year away already!)

    Not sure whether to pay that straight off the mortgage or not, I think I will as it was an unexpected win :)

    So claiming another £50 off the mountain!

    what do you mean when the cold weather comes back? It is still here in Rotherham. Absolutely chucking it down here again this morning which is a bit horrid. I keep thinking on it as saving me watering the garden, but it is hard to stay positive when you know it is going to be like it all week. Stuck in the house again with the munchkins.

    Know what you mean about the credit. We were £43 in credit with the new company as we joined mid month yet had to pay a full months payment. I am hoping it will be a cushion for later in the year. ;) The £20 we saved from moving to them compared to the other companies went to the mortgage though. :D Now i just need to remember to do it every month while the prices stay low.

    It's always nice to get a suprise windfall. I know u paid it at some point but as u weren't expecting the refund added bonus!! I am so fed up of studying only 2 days till exams but still can't get motivated!!

    My sister go hamsters when she was about ten. She was pretty good with them and did most of it herself. Think it is a really good idea to borrow them for a couple of weeks. U will need to consider where they live, as they are night animals in her bedroom may not work!!

    I'm up to £3.65 on one poll. I found a couple on the iPhone app yesterday. Do they email them to u? Or do u need to keep logging onto the website to check for them? Also I do toluna, aske for a £10 gift voucher about a month ago. Do u have any idea how long the take to come through?

    You need to keep logging on to check for them. There were 5 on there for me today but got screened out of 2 so only 30p there today. I am at £17.25. A long way to go yet!

    Have been looking into market research and focus sites today and have joined a few more but I doubt I will get anywhere with them as they are all in London!! grrr

    DD has done a countdown sheet with how many 'lives' she has left on it, It seems she may be determined :mad:

    I know about the weather cha but I like the rain watering my plants :) (the ones that havent been eaten anyway :()
