    it's been a good yougov week! - 225 points since monday! - up to 1625

    seems that the more regularly the surveys get done, the more that get offered!?!

    Well done on the YouGov payout KC


    It took me a year to get my £50, but since July I'm already on 2150 points.

    I think that is very true. In February I go away for a long holiday, so I'll be taking a break from YG. When I get back, it'll take them ages to give me regular surveys again

    That's interesting! I just missed the last one :( I've had a gastric bug :( but I've started eating again, and just realised I feel lots better :)

    Will carry on with yougov - I'm used to them, and its hardly difficult :)

    Sorry to hear you've had a nasty gastric bug, Karmacat. Eating again is always a good sign:j. Take care of yourself.


    I'm totally in agreement with your comments about keeping on with YouGov. I finally received a payout recently:j and am already back on the treadmill:rotfl:

    Thanks RT - I'm afraid I'm in chaos again - everything is everywhere. I'm at the computer because at least I can sit still when I'm online :o
