  • Lovely that you managed to see the family in person, Emz, even though still at a distance.  I bet they loved it as much as you did.  Good too that you had some time 'off'  and enjoyed a walk.  


    I just popped in to say I won't be around on MSE any more but couldn't just 'disappear' without sending my very kindest wishes to you.  I know there'll be lots of good things in store for you and hope you'll have the good health to enjoy every opportunity that comes your way.  You're a genuine inspiration to life's procrastinators like me  (insert embarrassed emoji).  It's been lovely starting to get to know you, I think we share a lot of interests.

    Take care of yourself. xxxxx

    Oh no!!  :( - I'm really sorry to hear that. It's been lovely talking to you and thank you for all of your kind comments and messages of support. If you find yourself back on MSE, come on here and say hello. You'll definitely be missed.

    Best wishes and stay safe

    Off the mark already. Textbroker has been quite quiet today. I managed to get one article, but it wasn't that long (300 words). I've been trying to clear my inbox instead. Got loads of survey emails in there that I didn't get time to do whilst I was doing the focus groups. I was on over 120 emails this morning and have gotten them down to 58, so I'll try and clear the rest tomorrow. It means I can keep on top of the new surveys that come in and not miss any good opportunities.

    Been for my evening walk and my physio session was fine this morning. She said it was good that I can get out walking again as it will help my lungs. Feeling knackered now though!!

    Morning

    Textbroker is still really quiet. Hope it picks up soon. I've only got around £20 coming this week so far, need much more to pay off that credit card!! I've made a £7 payment off today. That was money I had in PayPal from Prolific. Brings the total down to £2,098.70.

    I guess it's on with clearing my inbox whilst I wait for some articles to appear. I've just claimed £11.50 from Panelbase, so that can go straight off the card when I get it through.

    Morning

    Yesterday did not go well. I was not very proactive, couldn't get any articles, and didn't get my inbox cleared. Wish I could say I've been better so far today, but I had a bad night with a dodgy stomach, so didn't get up until late, which means my treatments were all pushed back, so I've only just really gotten started today.

    Anyway, can't do anything about yesterday, so will try harder today. I've just managed to get an article, so will get that written soon. I've also been shortlisted for a focus group. It's 2 weeks and you get paid £150 for doing it, which would be amazing. I hope I get selected, but there's only 10 places, so I don't know. I've just written a very lengthy answer to their question, which I think is what they will be looking for to make their selections, so fingers crossed.

    I've paid £10 off the card today, so the balance is now £2,088.70.

    Your May total is amazing, well done!  Good luck with getting the place on the focus group.

    June Earnings

    £6.77 - Prolific
    £5.00 - Amazon voucher from Swagbucks
    £11.50 - Panelbase

    £23.27

    Textbroker has picked up a bit. I did my article yesterday, and then got invited to a team of writers where I picked up another article, and then got another article from the open list. So I've got a 600 word and 1,200 word articles to write. Not saying I'll get them both done today, but I'll see what I can do. I'll get the 600 word one done this morning and then work on the other for the rest of the day.

    I've paid £11.50 off the card, so the balance is now £2,077.20.
