Morning and happy Saturday, one of my favourite days of the week.
Thanks HI for the survey suggestions, I'll have a look at the ones I'm not already connected to.
Hairy, YouGov doesn't work for me any more but I never really got on with it in the first place.
PA is slowly creeping up, but it's painfully slow, I'm usually on at least £12 by now but that's ok, it'll just take a bit longer.
VO is definitely strange, clicked on a £1 survey and it came up with a message thanking me for doing the survey and credited my account with a £1? I also did one for 50p so I'm half way to my next voucher
No OP surveys yet this morning, I'll keep checking but I think it'll be Monday before I cash out. Got to wait 28 days then, I assume they're working days? If so it'll be mid December before its paid in. Will make a nice bumper payment then
I've had a notification about two PB surveys, so I'll have a look at them later.
So what has this weekend got in store?- Washing
- Ironing
- Food shop
- Change the smoke detector battery to stop it beeping
- Count up change
- Make lasagne for dinner
- Dye my hair....looking like a witch again :rotfl:
Hopefully DH will help me sort the air pressure in my tyre, I really should learn how to do it
I've been thinking about things a lot recently and from where we were years ago to where we are now, I think we've changed, but I think it's a good change.0 -
Sounds like a busy day!
You're doing well on the surveys
There's also e rewards that's nectar surveys and you get nectar points. Someone on here recommended it and it seems well! I've got £6 in nectar points this week x0 -

Thanks Hun, I like the sound of that one, I'll have a look later x0 -
Just had a thought, I'd better change all my nectar points up for vouchers this weekend too.0

Well done on the surveys. Glad to hear things have changed over the years in a good way.
The nectar double up starts on the 8th November I think.
Have a lovely day x0 -

Been to Reading and bought bits that we needed, also got my mum and step dads Christmas present. Mum has an M&S voucher in the drawer upstairs so just need to get my step dad something then all parents and nieces/nephews are done.
Been grocery shopping, spent a lot but we have enough for the next two weeks, so just need top up bits next week and I shouldn't need to go shopping tomorrow.
Just having a cuppa then I'm making the bolognaise for the lasagne for tonight.0 -
Forgot DH changed the smoke alarm battery, we had one so I didn't need to buy one and he also sorted out my car tyre.0
