Another few things from me:
Earned £3 doing an on-street Market Research survey, used it to buy a Thorntons easter egg for OH in WH Sm1th for £1.99. Had just bought the same in W1lkos for £3, promptly returned it!
Also picked up net of solid choc eggs from O2 Rewards and Maltesters mini bunny from T3sco - along with the Hotel Choc0lat Egg on Toast slab I have now got his easter gift for free!

Hi all,
I've been absent for a few days - today is my birthday so we spent the weekend visiting friends and family. We had a lovely - and very MSE - time!
For gifts I have had some incredibly generous contributions towards my MA fund, but also been surprised with some lovely presents. A great new sewing book among them, which will come in very useful for making gifts!
DH got me a ukelele. Just a cheap one, but I love it. So far I can play the C chord and the theme tune to The Flinstones!!
Think we will make a nice meal at home tonight instead of going out. Tis the MSE way!0 -
Can i please ask what are the best survey sites that you all use? ive done some in the pass but the only one which i am a regular of is yougov and I only have 1700 pts so long way from redeeming stage. Thanks0

Have to admit that while I usually check for surveys daily, I also find most of them rather dull (especially if they're about mobile phones...yawn!) BUT I love vouchers, so keep going with them. Onepoll cash goes into our new bathroom fund (every little helps as we're still way off target) & Ipsos Mori & Toluna I cash in as John Lewis vouchers. I get occasional JL vouchers from my credit card too, so I'm trying to earn as many as possible over this year. At the end of the year, when there are some good deals around, I plan to treat myself to a big Kenwood Chef food pro, so all those vouchers should mount up into a nice little stash to put towards that. I've got £20 already in my Kenwood envelope, another £35 on the way & it's only April. So, yes, they can be soooooo boring, but the motivation for me is being able to put a nice handful of vouchers towards something I really want x
Oh, just editing this to reply to Focus888. I do Ugov but it's the slowest, though I like the fact that you sometimes get political surveys which are of more interest to me. The main ones I do are Toluna (have had probably about £260 of vouchers over the alst couple of years). Points mount up quite quickly BUT they take ages to send out the vouchers. They say 6-8 weeks but it can be longer. I've always received what I'm owed though. I also do Ipsos Mori, where you only need 1380 points for a £10 voucher & Onepoll which pays out cash when you get to £40. They transfer it straight into bank account & it just takes a week or two. Sometimes you get recruited via one of these to be on an online focus group. I did one last year via Toluna where I won £100 & I'm currently on a Heinz focus group which pays out in £5 Amazon vouchers (have had £15 so far for not a lot of time). Hope this is helpful.2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
