Cheery's country living adventure

Ooh, fingers crossed Agent Million comes calling! 😁😁 The draw is usually first day of the month, so Agent Million will ring the new millionnaires on the last day of the previous month (apparently). They publish a list of big winners (over £5k) on the day of the draw, but don't tell you if you've won a smaller amount til the day after.

Just in case you were about to become obsessive about winning like, ahem, some people... 😁

Just did a yougov survey whi h has tipped me over the half way point!! 2545 points now - only another 3 or 4 years to go!! 😁😂

On a similar note - anyone who does Populus - do they email you surveys?? I signed up a few days ago and haven't had a single one yet. Should I be checking the website??

Same as you roughly with You Gov! Sigh.

Cheery - I could have written that line myself! - The one and only time I hit submit before a deadline time, someone important had something to say about it - SIGH - every other time, feedback that matters comes well in advance and then no one else bothers to comment!

Oh dear to both of you! Hope one of us gets to you gov payout Beanie before the decade is out 😂

Latest Covid study vouchers arrived, so I've added those to the kitchen fund. Can't remember what that leaves us with but it's £50 more than whatever I said earlier today 😂😂

Populous will email. They're not the most frequent but they pay well, so I guess it makes up for it!

Thanks Vix, I'll keep an eye out!

Populus are very sporadic, I've had nothing for a week or so, and it's not unusual for it to be a month between surveys, but then have several in a day.

Hi, just delurking to say that my average earnings from Yougov are £32 a year and my average earnings from Populus are £57. I do not do all the surveys I am sent and have actually more or less given it up as I am fed up of being asked how much telly I watch (none) and being asked about my favourite cat food, car insurance (again none) I think I only carried on with Yougov because I won £500 in their prize draw just afer I joined. You get entered in that when you are not suitable for the survey. I think Populus could be a good earner if you stick at it but it is very repetitive, they ask you the same 10 or so questions every time at the start of the survey which annoys me as they should/do know the answers to these questions as they are part of my profile. I have decided lately I would rather be doing something else.

I signed up a few weeks ago and not had a single one yet 🙄 Although I did get all excited the other day when they sent me an email, only to find they were asking me more profiling questions 🤦‍♀️

And I can totally sympathise on the plumbing ganging up on you. I have slowly been losing the use of my taps, leaving the only running water on the bath/shower mixer (fortunately both hot and cold still!), plus the toilet handle makes a dreadful groaning noise whenever I use it. If either of those break I will admit defeat and call in a plumber!

Thanks Paspatur! I think I may come to the same conclusion... 🙄

Sorry to hear your plumbing is ganging up too SC 🙄 in fairness most of ours has been caused by the builders - removing the kitchen sink, then tapping into the toilet pipe and needing to let the glue dry 😂 the lack of hit water at the other end of the house isn't a problem til we can't use supply at the top end 😂 and hopefully they're going to fit it anyway as part of all this work...
