    Joined PA. See how it goes. :)

    Payday today. Next Tuesday will be exchanging all the money into dollars. My next month pay I will keep in my bank for holiday.

    5 week month will be torture but will be extra strict. Also 6 weeks on Monday will be no smoking :) Using a vape tho!

    35 days to payday :( 50 days to holiday xx

    I joined yesterday and logged in last night and had a survey for £1.50. None today so far though. I didn't get an email telling me there was a survey though either.

    You have to log in and see if there is any you are eligible for Monz, I didn't realise for the first 6 months and thought it was rubbish but I started logging on regularly and it's by far the best I've found for payouts :) x
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    I just logged in and had two available. 75p and £1.50 maybe worth a look?
