    Me neither - about 20p in 10 days or so (despite filling out loads of new profile details) :( Always seems to tail right off when I get to within £1 or so of £20!!

    I keep thinking about trying matched betting, but think we should put in for the remortgage first.

    Very little on PA for me either. I've had completed surveys go into limbo before, they automatically get approved after so many weeks, unless the researcher actively goes in and reject them.

    LT your weekend plans sounded fab. Well done for standing your ground with the dress too!

    Woohoo to Mr LT ticking off a DIY job. I love it when that happens here!

    i'm probably wrong but as long as you keep your MB transactions in a separate account, I didn't to start with and it drove me nuts so I set up a new account, i'm not sure it would affect a remortgage, especially if you don't use the 'income' with in the application.


    I've found that there is a completion code logged for the last survey I did so I shall just have to wait patiently for the money.

    HI Starnac,
    Mr LT diy is pretty rare here especially without lots and lots of nagging or my starting it first so it was a big surprise.

    PA is Prolific Academy, i'm happy to provide you a reference code if you're interested (PM me)


    On a more boring front I really need to find a method of sorting and keeping on top of paperwork, Mr LT puts it in random places unopened round the house, he won't take responsibility for dumping even junk mail which is very grrry. I'm not as obsessive about it as I used to be in the beginning, aka I've got lazy, so don't put it straight away, possibly because I don't have sufficient storage space. Not being able to find stuff does lead me to be in a right old grump regularly so I do need to find a solution.

    Perhaps find a basket of some sort stationed somewhere accessible for Mr L T to pop the post into , then it's all in one place. Then when you gave time you can look through it and throwaway the junk !

    Oooh matched betting. That's a thought. I made >£1k with that back in the day before I'd run out of the simpler offers. But now I have a new card and a new address so maybe I could start from the beginning again.

    Thanks for the reminder about it and good luck!
