Well heres my little update i hope everyone is well on this cold and wet wednesday.
I have changed a few things firstly being i have a new driving instructor my last one was well useless he was not flexible in the slightest and wouldnt teach on evenings and weekends. No good to me when i work 4 on 4 off on nights. I had a lesson booked in on the 15th of december which i cancelled due to being offered triple time overtime at work. He said he could fit me in the following friday which was no good to me as i was picking my lad up by train that day.
He moaned i hadnt given him 48hours notice even though i had paid for a 220 quid 10hour block booking. Net result because i couldnt do that lesson my next one is next week and i have 4 hours of the block left once there done thats it. This has happened being truthful a few times mainly due to him taking long weekends away constantly and then refusing to teach on a saturday i am getting nowhere. Ie 3-4 lessons in a row then none for a week or two or me having to take lessons straight after a 10 hour night shift.
Anyway rant over i have found a new instructor next lesson is with new guy is 24th and i am going to do the remainder of the lessons with the old guy then he is binned. The new guy is 20 quid cheaper for the block bookings and single lessons too.
Next survey and cashback wise its all good i have just dropped the following today.
Top cashback 15p lol
Panel opinions £11.13
and yesterday prolific academic £5.09
I have populuslive ready to drop thats sitting at 48 points gerrrrrrrrrr. I will update my signature in a tick, i also have opinium getting close to dropping.
I am back to work tonight first of 4 night shifts enjoy the rest of your week i will message when i can.Cashback Earnings YTD £46.04 Survey Earnings YTD £182.66

What a muppet your instructor is - I found that if you're not 100 comfortable/ happy with the instructor then you're not in your best learning frame of mind. My friend changed instructors twice but was really happy with the third guy. The first guy used to pen her hand with a marker every time she made a mistake - she'd come back covered in black lines on her hand and it just made her anxiety 100x worse!
Good luck with the new guyCC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

If someone drew on me in a driving lesson i would belt them or do an emergency stop when they had a drink in there hand.
Update today i managed to get prolific academic sort as i dropped two payments from them one on the 21st and one on the 24th they only paid me for one. So net result thats another 6.08 on route and i have just dropped 2.50 on opinion outpost.Cashback Earnings YTD £46.04 Survey Earnings YTD £182.66
