Wishing you a very Happy Birthday.  Sounds like your loved ones are making  it the best they can manage in the circumstances.  Here's to the next one, although entering the next decade isn't usually one to celebrate too much is it?.

The Prolific study sounds brilliant.  I wish I could find good payers like that one.  Here's hoping Textbroker picks up soon and the focus group happens for you.  I've applied for a telephone focus group next week after receiving an emailed invitation.  I'm not sure I fit their criteria though after completing the screening questions.  Will last 45 minutes for £40 but I hate answering questions on the phone so it sounds as if I'll certainly have earned the money if they do choose me!  It's any day/time next week.  I've said I'd be available 24/7 (nothing better to do theses strange days is there?).

Thank you. I don't actually mind getting older, means I'm still here!!

I hope you get picked for the focus group. Got to grab the chances whilst we can. A phone one has got to be better than a video focus group!! I applied for another one during the week. Think it was around £30 payment, but it did sound really interesting.

Sorry about my comment about getting older, Emz.  I didn't think before I wrote it and on reflection it was totally insensitive and out of order for me to say such a thing.  I'd forgotten about the seriousness of your medical condition.  I feel awful now.  Sorry xxx

As for a video focus group, as far as I'm concerned, no way!!!  I wouldn't do one of them whatever they paid me.  I've turned down a few good payers in the past because they needed people seeing me.

Oh no, please don't feel bad. I didn't take any offence to what you said. I know that most people don't like getting older, especially when they're nearing a big birthday, I just see it a bit differently because of my illness. Although, I have to admit I haven't particularly liked having to add an extra year on my survey questions the past couple of days!!!

I know what you mean about the video forums!! It's hard enough for me to do FaceTime with my family, let alone be on screen with a bunch of strangers!!

Over the £200 mark!! We've decided to pay off the Ninja Foodi on Friday. There's just over £100 left, and my OH gets paid on Friday, so we might as well clear it all to save any interest being added. I'll then go back to paying off as much as I can off the other item on there (my Apple Watch), which is due around the 7th June to be paid. If I can get it down to at least £200 (just under £450 due on there), then we can pay the rest off from June's payday.

I actually managed to write 2 articles yesterday, so hopefully it's picking up a bit again.

I managed to get the last place on a Prolific survey.  Earned all of 28p LOL.

Don't spend it all at once!!

Textbroker seems to be picking up again, I did a big article yesterday (1,800 words) and have got another one today (1,200), so my money will hopefully build up again for this week's payment.

Must try and get some Amazon vouchers too though. I've got to get a couple of bits from there for my niece's birthday on the 20th May and I don't really want to spend money on them. They're less than £20, so shouldn't be too hard. I did have £5 on there, but I needed some chinchilla food, so I spent it on that.

Nothing to add to my April total today, and I doubt I'll be able to add anything tomorrow either. Definitely think if I hadn't slacked off so much over the bank holiday weekend, I could have reached £300. Will try harder next month.

I'm just trying to get an article to write today, but I did my big one yesterday and it got accepted. I've also heard back about that focus group and they are starting it on Monday. Still no mention of the money, but it should be a nice little payment towards next month's earnings. I'm aiming to get a couple of Amazon vouchers requested today as I'm very close on Swagbucks and Lifepoints, so that will only leave me with £10 to go for my niece's presents.
