  • Do you wait until you've accrued £20+ on Prolific before redeeming to avoid Paypal fees? I try to but on occasions have redeemed less when I've really needed the money:o. They pay out really quickly too:j. The Paypal fees weren't too steep so it wasn't the end of the world but I try to hang on right to the £20 mark. Like you I'm up to just over £18 but I've nothing pending and no surveys recently that I've been eligible for:(

    I usually get fed up of waiting and cash out early, but am trying to hang on for the £20. Hope you get some surveys soon :)

    Nothing to declare from yesterday. Did surveys and other bits, but nothing to show for it just yet.

    Prolific is still the same - I've got 5 surveys awaiting payment on there, one from the 24th October.

    Working 2-8 today, so don't expect to get much done.

  • I heard on BBC news that M&S are planning to close several stores or turn them over to just sell food. I hope this won't affect you.


    At least Andy is on the brink of a momentous achievement. Just Raonic to beat now:j:

    Our store is quite a popular one in a busy location, I shouldn't imagine they'll be closing it.

    Shame I'll be working today when Andy plays Raonic :( - I'll have to keep an eye on the score on the iPad ;)

    Andy Murray: World Number One - Has a nice ring to it!! :D :T

    Anyway, like I said, not much going on yesterday. Prolific is still stuck. Maybe next week will be the week.

    Not all is lost though, as I won £10 on JPJ this morning (on the free game) :j. I had an odd £1.10 in there from some free spins earlier in the week, so had a little go on the slots (wouldn't have risked my £10 though) and ended up withdrawing £20.10 :D - who needs Prolific? ;)

    Not at work today, so will try and do some earning, although I must watch the tennis at 2pm :)

    ETA - Got a couple of reduced sandwiches for 56p last night. Posh ones too!!

    ETA (again!) - Just withdrawn £11.30 from Panelbase :)

    :dance::dance::dance::dance:Finally withdrawn £21.04 from Prolific :dance::dance::dance::dance:

    Nothing else to report, apart from a possible cold that OH has kindly shared with me :(. It's been coming on for a while, but seems to be coming out properly now. Working 12-6 today, so will see how I get on.

  • Brilliant news on the Prolific payout:j. I managed a couple of their quick cheap surveys yesterday and now am up to £19.10:T. I bet that last 90p takes forever to get;)


    I hope your cold doesn't get any worse and you'll be feeling 100% again soon:coffee:.

    Managed to survive the 6 hours at work yesterday, but felt dreadful afterwards. Picked OH up, did some dinner, did my meds and then went straight to bed.

    OH is "working from home" today (which means he's saying he's working from home, but is really just lying around watching TV whilst sending a couple of work emails!). In other words, he has been getting in the way and annoying me, so nothing to report today.

    Have to leave for work in just under an hour. Only a 4 hour shift, but it's so cold in the shop that I don't want to leave the nice warm house :(

    One thing I did today was order a free Ice Age 4 DVD from Sky. Will be a nice free present for my niece and nephew for Christmas :)

  • I hope you didn't freeze at work and are now safely warm at home.

    You're really getting yourself organised, aren't you? All the little payouts are making me re-think surveys... ;)
