I know what you mean about satisfying deleting all the emails about something that didn't happen - modern equivalent of shredding a pile of stuff

Wrote a to do list this morning and just ticked off the last item. Parcels wrapped. Post office done and also bought some thank you cards making use of the £2 offer on TCB today.Annoyingly spent ages on a 150 point survey that seemed to crash at the end on Ipsos and only 10 points credited. 😥
Decided against the I k e a visit next week and divvied up the money between pots. £285 left to save to replenish the savings.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

DH let the dog out at 3.15am and made such a racket he’s woke me up good and proper.I’m now up and he’s snoring!! 😡
Had a YouGov survey yesterday bringing me annoyingly to 5p needed for payment. Ipsos super busy yesterday in that I only need 100 points for payout again.Money earned up to £51.05. Reckon I’ve got one more week and then surveys will go quiet so I’ll be lucky to get to £75 earned myself this month. Did have a message about a Facebook marketplace item so fingers crossed. Also sold item of clothing to a friend for £5 but will count that when I have the money in my account. Had to faff about trying to sign into one poll online as they are transferring over to new app. That will affect the amount of surveys I do as I rarely go on the laptop. Anyone else do one poll? I did notice yesterday there seemed to be more higher paying surveys on the laptop. Is that the case?
Quiet day here I think. Haven’t checked the weather but busy weekend coming up.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Managed to get to £5 payout on Ipsos again - that took two days which I think is the fastest ever! One poll busy today and I’m £2.05 away from payment there. £4.63 earnt on prolific.Annoyingly no YouGov survey!Sold my Facebook item and that’s been picked up so up to £66.85 earnt so far in December. I’ll be pleased if I get to £75 as it will take me over £1150 in 2020.Had a horrible headache since yesterday which is just easing so taking it easy hence why I’ve managed to do surveys!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

£1.55 to go on one poll and 5p 😬 on YouGov to get to payment. That would be a very nice £75 incoming. Fingers crossed for next week.Bought a gingerbread house to make with the kids only to realise it’s an actual bake it first then make it kit. Also (and I acknowledge the sadness level here) I’m making mince pies for the first time ever. Wish me luck. I’m thinking Christmas tunes all the way today!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Have fun with the baking 😀!
I'd been wondering what the cashout amount was on One Poll. I've got £13.00 currently and it's showing I'm not quite halfway round the dial. I'm definitely ditching that one when I get to payout - way too annoying for me!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
