Reached payout on 1poll but will add that to money earned when I actually get the pennies in my bank.Prolific payout and another thing sold and I’m up to £201.22 money earned this month. Waiting for a fleabay item to be paid for so that will bump up the total a little.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

A nice £4.45 survey on prolific to wake up to. Also had a £3 pinecone survey yesterday. They seem to be few and far between.House news - just waiting for confirmation from buyers they are happy with a follow up survey they had done and then all should be ok in terms of selling. We are going to see our house again soon. Need to do measurements in one particular room to do some planning. Really hopeful we might get moved in early July.It’s second jab day for me so need to get a wiggle on as need to leave soon. Really hoping I don’t feel as rough as I did after the first one.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Best of luck with the second jab - I didn't feel as bad as after the first, but I did have one bad day. Still, I think it's so individual, there's no saying what might happen. Best of luck!2023: the year I get to buy a car3

Actually not feeling too bad today. Bit of a dead arm but nothing else really.Woke up to a £5.63 survey from prolific which was nice. Quite an interesting topic as well. Better than the dinosaurs ones I keep getting from 1poll at the moment who keep insisting of asking me if I believe dinosaurs still exist somewhere on our planet!Just done a bit of a mid month shuffle about. Money things are a bit up in the air with paying out things for the house move. The kids activities have finally started picking back up after lockdown which is great for them, not so great for the bank balance.Things going well on the house move. We have three potential bumps in the road with our sale, two of which we are through, the last one I’m not overly concerned about. We have our survey soon and considering it’s an old old property it’ll be interesting to see what comes back on that. I’ve allowed myself to start thinking a little about life post mortgage.. though really don’t want to count my chickens just yet…DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

You are really doing well with the sorting dfod. I can't seem to get myself motivated to sort stuff at the moment, but we are really busy at work and I've had a few things on that have taken my time up. I'm planning to buy a new chest of drawers for the main bedroom, which should prompt a clear out of the old cupboard. I need to get onto losing a bit more weight again too and then even more stuff can be recycled to the CS."Think of many things, do one"
