    Hi DFOD, my 2023 MFW buddy :)

    I just signed up for 0neP0ll after reading your article and already have £5.20 after doing all the basic entry surveys - sorry - if I had known you would get £2.50 for a referral i would have done so!!!

    It seems good though, and not spammy either which is great - looking forward to reaching my first £40.

    I know it depends on my lifestyle, but how often do new surveys come online and how will I know - is there an alert or do I have to check daily?

    Cheers,

    MvM

    ha, glad to hear you are doing well. I don't know if they do notifications, but I don't get them, I tend to check it after work.. surveys pop up all the time and then go when they reach their quota. They rarely come through before 9 and after 5 or at weekends. It's a slow and steady build up of pennies. It's not spammy at all, and I like that sometimes it's one question or 4/5.. you're not there for ages answering questions!

    Been awake since 4am for no reason, DS didn't wake till just before 5am.

    Feeling a lot happier than I have been in recent days, Washing on and plan to be off out to a local nature place today that we haven't been to before.

    £3.05 sent as this weeks' mortgage OP so £1091.67 overpaid so far this year. Another £1.50 off CC3 and so that is down to £427.99.

    Also got some good news in that DH is likely to take on some more responsibility for 6 mths or so, so just waiting to hear what that will mean for his pay packet.

    Happy Saturday all!

    I read on their blog the other day that they never do e-mail alerts. They also only do surveys when the staff is in the office, so no weekends/bank holidays.

    10p short! How annoying!

    I used to do 1poll ages ago but then they went through a patch of the surveys going painfully slow and I gave up. I might consider starting again now I'm at home all day.

    Hope that 10p survey comes through soon. It would be no good for me now due to working hours although I used to do it. I'm sure there's an app, do you have that?

    Hope work gets easier once you drop the additional responsibility,be handy if dh gets the equivalent payrise!

    Thanks for the 1poll info, I havent been checking their website and wondered why I hadnt heard much, will make sure I pop in each day to check. Good to hear that your DH might be getting a payrise for a while, hope the drop in hours eases things a bit.

    Do you get anything for referring to m1ntv1ne / m1ndmover/ ipsos? If so I will PM you my email if you want to refer me? :)
