    I do wish you could do more PA surveys on a tablet, as then I could do them at the weekends and evenings.

    Tooth hopping sounds like I dance on teeth :rotfl:

    The PA surveys are annoying for me now. They tend to pay well but since our recent IT security upgrade at work the system won’t let me access the PA surveys on my PC anymore so I’m stuck with doing them on the iPad and on quite a few of their surveys you need a PC or laptop. :(

    I think the you Gov surveys are really drying up :(
    I agree, I thought it was just me. I seem to only get about two a month, and one of those is the prize draw one :mad:.


    I get 2 or 3 per week and I thought that was too low :eek: Xx

    2 or 3 a week, that's good Lucky!

    I'm lucky that I have a PC in our home office, but I refuse to go in there at weekends.

    I thi k I get less YG surveys now my children are over 18. Plus I rarely do anything, go anywhere, or buy anything :o. Still, thank goodness for PA :T.

    Today is my walk followed by boring old work.

    I was going to go to the post ofice for my passport to be Checked and Sent, but my friend had to cancel signing it. So that willbe a job for next week now.

    I don't know many people in full time work, in particular jobs, who have known me for two years, and who aren't related, who can sign my passport form. My doctors won't do it and I work from home so can't ask my boss :rotfl:.

    So we have to keep asking the same friend for that type of thing. Luckily she doesn't seem to mind and I always take her flowers or chocolates :).

    Have a good Friday everyone :).

    You would think in this technically advanced world they would have come up with a different way with passport photo identification. It is a pain to get people to sign them.

    Have a lovely walk HH . Today I am hoping to get through childminding with the least possible fuss and hardly any voice. Roll on 5pm.

    Making extra money through surveys is very time-consuming. I've been doing them 11 yrs now: best year 2006 with £3145, worst year 2017 with £624 ! Most years in between.
    I'm also signed up to the local university Memory & Ageing studies in which I act as a control participant. Got £50 this week for an MRI study.
    Toluna is pretty good, & Global Testmarket, plus Pinecone if you can get on it. I find YouGov slow to get anywhere.
