  • £11.46 cleared on prolific today so withdrawn and applied to savings. Also reached payout on Ipsos again so another £5. 

    Earnings up to £110.81

    That 5p for a you gov survey is still eluding me. 😂

  • Not any more it isn’t! 50p survey this morning and so I’ve reached £50 payout. Super happy except I can’t seem to redeem my points but have submitted a support request. 

    Weather is wet wet wet out there. Think we have a weather warning for the next 24 hours so it’ll be a stay at home day pottering about and sorting.  Need to list one fleabay item and tidy up the house generally. Happy Friday all.

    Wow, you really accelerated there!  I'm really near a £10 voucher on SB (all I do is the daily poll and playing 5 games a day, which I'd do anyway) so this is a big deal :) 
    The weather forecast in the affected areas sounds horrendous - my area's just damp, nothing at all.  Stay safe, debtfree.

  • super soggy here but I managed to get my payout from YouGov in motion. Just need to remember to stop completing one poll surveys on my phone whilst they transfer over now next week.

  • YouGov credit was in the bank last night. Sooooo quick!  

    So confession - daily spending has just run away this month and I’ve had to shift some from easy access savings to cover it. Savings down £400 which includes some of the vet bill so I need to build that back up in 2021 but I’ve just given myself a bit of grace and stopped breaking my neck trying to repay the savings at this time when we’ve had quite a few unexpected expenses. 

    Quiet weekend ahead which should involve no money being spent. 
    Just renewed all library books due back although our library isn’t charging overdue charges.

    *need to tidy a little in the greenhouse.

    That's a decent sum to pay for a computer that you actually want, excellent news.  As I just wrote on another thread, no clue about financial plans yet, but I shall have a think today while putting away the washed and cleaned shopping.
