I dont mind if the YOu Gov surveys are interesting but most of them are so dire.

I love the brand questions - it's the television questions that send me to sleep! - not to mention the the political opinion ones!4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

I'm currently on 4400 You Gov points. I hope to get to the 5000 by the end of July, which will be a full 12 months since my last pay out. I think I could have done it sooner, but because I was away on holiday for 5 weeks I didn't do any. I like most of the You Gov surveys, especially the brand ones. If there's a company that has upset me, I really put the boot in! :rotfl:

RT, I'm sure my time would be better spent by doing matched betting, but I need something mindless, not more thinking, so yougov is the way to go
They also never turn me down for a survey after ten minutes spent "qualifying" - not to be sneezed at. I reckon that its a penny a point, and I earn at the rate of about £2 an hour ... I can live with that, quite frankly.
Brands, television, politics, they're all equally meaningless to meI occasionally put something in the space for optional comments on the survey itself, and scold them that they're being far too simplistic and conventional, they don't even bother with "other" on some very big issues, the only way to register that is "don't know" - I have new respect for the "don't knows" in surveys in the news, let me tell you :rotfl:
My visit to the school was humongous, thanks Goldie :j The intricacies of white boards which have their own hard drive, for instance :eek: and the size of the grounds, some of which are left practically wild :eek: absolutely gorgeousSave2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
haha - KC - matched betting is well above my capacity! - I was thinking something that needed less brainpower than surveys! - knitting, crocheting, mending - lol - I find some of the questions on youg0v require too much thinking!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

Oh, I'm with you now :j:o yes - I have lots and lots of chenille, and my aim is to make wristwarmers, legwarmers, and anything warmers that I can
And I have this weird ambition to have all my towels and teatowels with loops that they can be hung from :rotfl: most do, but some don't
I've had a thunk about all this decisionmaking that yougov requires, and since they actually ask, very often, for impressions without knowledge, thats what they get - and they'll get an impression without any thought, toolike Foxface doing the electronic quiz in The Hunger Games. What do you mean, what am I talking about? :A

Yawn .... though I've been up for a good long while, and I've got the skins off the butterbeans I had in soak - they used to stay on when I cooked butterbeans, they certainly don't any more, and I do wonder if its the way they're processed before they get to us.
Anyway, I've decided to have a to-do list today, I may not do all of it because I run out of puff, but without it I'll flounder. So:
- buy wedding present for the next family wedding
- wedding card
- flickr - finish off personalisation of headline image.
- washing machine on.
- get a few more plant photos for flickr
- weeding/pruning at the bottom of the garden, sweeping up all the old cherry laurel seeds, yuk. There'll be cat pee involved, I'm pretty sure
- use the onions I bought ages ago, they've already started sproutingSave

Oops!
Well, the dishwasher's on (that wasn't on the list) I've bought the wedding present (its all online these days!), found a good wedding card in the stash, taken some photos (including the ginger cat, who's decided to talk to me again), but I have to retake some photos, once I looked at them there's too many weeds accompanying the actual plants
:o:o
Right now, though, I'm shattered - cup of tea is brewing, I think I may go back to bed :jSave
