Wow - all the surveys! Mine all seem to be paying out at the same time too, I have finally twigged about which ones will not screen me out or bore me to death while completing them. I've had £45 in Amazon vouchers in the last week, which has been a huge help as there have been some things I need but have been putting off buying. We have Prime for the movies, etc (far cheaper than sky!!!) but I check the box for slower delivery and get a £1 credit towards a kindle book too! :j
I'll keep further vouchers in my account to spend on xmas presents. I'm going to try and be a bit more organised this year, though I don't know if I will ever be up to your standards!0 -
Just caught up with your thread DR, cant believe the hassle about the Account, I think what they have done is just awful and has quite shocked me tbh....Chin up hun, I suppose not everyone on here can be decent human beings.
Well done on the 2lb loss :T
Och I know, bit of a pain but all good now.
Thanks hon.

It's always the same, get nothing for a while then they all cash out at the same time.
I'm happy with that anyway, I just load the vouchers to my Amazon account then spend then whenever I see a good deal.
Just need about another 9 points for a £50.00 cheque with populous so hopefully soon!
I haven't always been this organised, just trying to do what I can to make it easier on myself at the end of the year. This is a habit I have picked up from my Mum, so thank god for her!

Will try to get rid of some of the others later in the month depending on how I can stretch the remaining funds in my account.

Hardly anyone has had any yet that I know of.
Oh have you been stalking me
Thanksssss
I've been trying to use more cash to be honest because when I 'switch' stuff it doesn't feel like a real transaction to meplus we are really stepping up with saving our spare coins so try to go to the bank about once a week to lift out my funds then when they are gone they are gone!
