  • I hope you build up your pots soon. The surveys have been a bit thin on the ground for me lately. How are you doing with yours?

    Hi HHD :) Yes, I'd like to build the pots up again and get in front of myself then hopefully I can pay another big payment to the CC. I'm definitely borrowing £1k from 'us' when I hit that mark so the sooner I get there the better.

    Surveys are rubbish at the moment. I've been stuck on £3.05 for weeks. But I don't come on the laptop as much during the day so I'm probably missing the few that are out there. xx

    What do you need to pay to get to the magic 1k mark? xx

    I think off the top of my head just over £400, so by July it should be gone. It's always been a goal for me since I started the diary and I think hubby will be happy with 3 months of money built up again so it should fall into place nicely. xx

    There's one on for 87p now Tea I don't know if you have it? When it's approved I finally hit the £5 cashout for the first time in weeks!

    Glad you had some lovely treats with your hard-saved-for pot money! Everyone's right, you'll have that built back up again in no time at all.

    I haven't even logged into PA for weeks - got totally fed up with the lack of anything. Although I know you need to be in it to win it. Must make time (and find motivation) to get back into it!
