    Sounds like a good PA survey to me! Glad you're seeing good results from Shoppix, I also see it move a lot quicker than receipt hog.

    Its been wind, heavy rain and then a massive hail storm here today. Completely wild. Of course the hail storm was on when we were going between kids classes so we had a laugh getting blown around and battered by the hail.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    HG - couldn't believe my luck :) If the only survey I got every week was one of these I'd be very happy!

    HHD - it's rained most of the day here and it's cold. Might have to bring DD back home next weekend to doggy sit. I don't like missing out on my weekends away :(

    Another NSD for me. I've done a bit of crocheting, watched a film, walked the dogs and that's about it. xx

    Thanks WB. Great that you're all back home and settling into your routine again :)

    Day 10/31, NSD's 5/15, Prolific £4.70 cleared, £0 pending, Cash for 8th-14th March £26.75

    Weather is awful here today. Non stop rain this morning, snow then hailstone, now the sun is shining but it's really windy!

    Just got in from church so not a NSD as I put in the collection. I don't always do this if I've done other things behind the scenes like donated to FB etc. Money now stands at £26.75.

    Hoping for a teeny survey to take me over the £5 threshold again. One came up yesterday but by the time I'd seen it there was only 1 place left and of course I didn't get it. How come generally in life when somebody has to be last in something it's usually me, apart from when it's a survey place :rotfl:

    Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Xx

    The weather is strange isn't it! By the time I'd seen the snow and told the smalls to look the sun was out! Then we decided to run to the shop and it hailed! :rotfl:

    Hope you've had a lovely day - and got a survey on PA :p

    Think we worked out way through the 4 seasons today WB :D No survey yet but fingers crossed one will come through this week. In other news I'm just 20 points from cashing out on shoppix. I need bread rolls tomorrow so that should get me over the threshold :) xx

    I find with Shoppix that wheb you're close to the end, a little survey or a bonus scratch card will pop up yo tip you over the threshold. Unlike onepoll where you sit at 20p below the threshold for weeks with not a survey in sight!

    We had 4 seasons here too...strange day!

    Morning HG. I will keep an eye out for a survey but I do need to go out for a couple of things so I'm going to get my points :T :rotfl: It was you who pointed me to Shoppix so thank you :) Hope your head cold hasn't got a grip and you're feeling a bit better today. xx

    Day 11/31, NSD's 5/15, Prolific £4.70 cleared, £0 pending, Cash for 8th-14th March £13.76.


    Bit of a spendy morning which feels odd :o

    £12.99 on a pair of trainers - from my weekly money
    £10 on toiletries for a women's aid centre. I've decided if I have money in Paypal from receipts/surveys to take this sort of spend out of there
    £5-ish on a top up shop - joint account

    So that means I have £13.76 left. It's my turn for coffees tomorrow so looking like it'll be a couple of days before I can notch up another NSD.

    Hope everybody is enjoying their Monday Xx
