    i've had an email from the royal mail survey people, they are looking for new people so if you want to apply follow this link

    https://rmpri.research-int.com

    you get paid in stamps and get special edition ones too. even got a diary at xmas from them :)

    Thank you so much for this - I had to bend the answers ever so slightly as a cousin works for Royal Mail, but he is technically transport not delivery.
    emmaglet thats fab my cat escaped its cage on a trip to the vets and shot across a round into a pond then into the woods never to be seen again ........... or so I thought he turned up a few days short of 2 years to the day he went missing! Our vets is in a different town and I think had it been in our own town he would have made it home but he strayed for 2 years and was picked up after a lovely lady had been feeding him called the cats protection. Luckily the cats protection remembered him getting lost and reunited us :-)

    What a lovely story :)

    Still nothing new to add, haha. But:

    One mystery shop completed - it was a social media project.
    Wedding on a budget blog has been launched and have over 100 visitors last night - pretty decent for a launch! Hopefully adding Skimlinks (an affiliate program) on it later today.

    Hoping to get some items listed on a Livejournal community that I'm a member of tonight. And actually start photographing for the next free eBay listing weekend.

    Could you PM me a link to your blog? I would love a read, I'm already married, but do love a bargain!!

    Hi can someone explain YouGov for me please? Who are they? How does it work? How does it pay?

    Many thanks.


    Hi


    YouGov do surveys and focus groups, the pay out is £50.00 via BACS/Cheque, its mainly surveys about voting, products and lifestyle. It can takes ages to get to pay out.
