    Just having a look through surveys and done a couple on TCB, I never think of looking on there. Also just reconfirmed my relationship with toluna. Must spend some time on that later.

    Getting back into the habit of doing toluna. Thank goodness it's Friday, I'm cream FFA Keres,working for a couple of hours tomorrow night but hopefully not all night and the money will come in handy at the end of the month.

    Up to £35 on OP so hoping to get to payoutnby the end of next week?

    Plan for this evening is to catch up with apprentice from weds as I was working and tomorrow a bit more decluttering and hopefullyna few more bits for eBay

    Hope you get to payout quickly on onepoll, hopefully there will be lots of surveys about next week. TCB is good as long as the surveys are available. I keep forgetting about Toluna. Have you got an i-phone as there is a free app on there which makes it easier.

    I'm on android and there doesn't seem to be as many apps for the surveys as there are for the iphone sadly.

    I'm working for a couple of hours tonight, so the plan for today is to TRY and get the house into some kind of order.

    I've already got the washing machine on, but another load will need to go on afterwards, so please don't rain today! Ideally I would like to source 5 items for ebay today. Bathrooms need cleaning, kitchen needs cleaning. Oh the joy!

    I've spent the morning cleaning and sorting. The house doesn't look any tidier but I have shredded, recycled, repotted some tomato plants and a growing coriander plant I bought for a curry in the week. I have sourced four items for ebay and two loads of washing out on the line.

    Lunch time I think.
  • what is tcb survey site? I thought tcb would be 'top cash back' but you can't do surveys on there can you? sorry for being a nosey lurker.

    do a search for New Vista and Populus on Topcashback. These both pay 70p for each survey. Sometimes there are none available but I get a fair few per week, sometimes more than one in one day. Had £30+ from them so far so they do pay out.

    I need to pay more effort to those thanks. Yesterday afternoon I had not one but two p!ne c0ne surveys! Also did nearly four hours at work last night as an extra so that'll be nice at the end of the month.

    I'm still in bed this morning! This never happens so am enjoying it, I even have coffee and toast. When I get up I need to go to the shop for nibbles as we have friends over this afternoon. I feel like I am in the supermarket every day at the moment I don't like it.

    Had a lovely afternoon with friends, but annoyingly our boiler packed up this morning. Always something!

    Two items listed on Ebay tonight and have a few ending in the next hour, currently two have bids.
