  • Im still paying back for when hr overpaid me, I'd still be being overpaid if I hadn't spotted it, despite being told later that it had flagged as a mismatch from day 1. I am paying back just under£200 a month till end of March.

    Why are Ipsauce so bad for surveys? I have no idea how MSE claim they're the best for paid surveys, I have had *1* survey where I wasn't screened out :rotfl:

    I don't know why they hate you, I joined up about 2/3 weeks ago and I'm nearly at payout!

    It's ok Cal, I actually think getting less surveys is a positive. I'm honest about my submissions/interests etc. and as a wannabe minimalist and frugal type, people trying to sell crap shouldn't court my opinion, as I'm not buying :D

    Signature has been updated for month end, get paid tomorrow :T

    An imaginatively named 'Baby Pot' will be making an appearance, Mrs E's choice.

    Freedom Fund did very well this month, although March will be spendy. I need a suit (Mrs E's sibling getting married), good leather shoes (my DMs are giving up after 2 1/4 years) and it's my birthday at the end of the month.

    Aiming for £100 to Freedom Fund (£815.55), although I will save any birthday money I'm lucky enough to receive.

    Nearly new ISA year :j

    No idea, they look much the same :rotfl:

    I have a baby!!!!

    Just finished cleaning the fish tank and saw a tiny, but well defined bristlenose catfish hanging on to the glass at the front of the tank :T

    I'm overcome with paternal emotions!

    I almost spat my tea out as I laughed so much when I read this :rotfl:

    Has to be something in the water in your place.

    The nipple thing is just early payback - in case Mrs E decides to feed, you'll understand a little of what she's going through :A (only at the beginning)

    Sore nipples and a baby fish sounds like excellent practise.
