    Yes, mike; the reputation of having been newly hatched and therefore off-the-chart naive. I am utterly stuck in the desert and doubt I will be cashing out without fees this side of September, if ever. :(

    Im certainly getting less then I was this time last year - though I am making £15 a month or so through qmee to balance it out. I am looking forward to paying off a couple of imminent bills so I can get back on the matched betting train, as that utterly dwarfs anything else.

    I am lucky in that I have a fairly big stash to cash out (a months worth I think), I dont want or need to right now but this time last year I was getting £2-3 most days.

    Well, you are clearly twice as desirable to researchers as I am, Chrisv. Good for you.

    Which must work out fairly similarly in terms of cash per survey.

    It was, Brookside, it was. I, of course, gave it the benefit of my vast experience and scalpel-like, analytical mind: I picked companies I had actually heard of. :rotfl::cool:
