Hang on, I'm not sure I'm reading that right ... you sleep on the ... table? Put me out of my misery, tell me whats going on :rotfl:

LOL it hasn't come to that yet and would be interesting to say the least as have a small round table . When folk come for a meal I need to clear all my 'stuff' off the table and I deposit it on the bed and then when they've gone, I move it back to the table hopefully having decluttered some paperwork along the way.

Hi - my first time in here, maybe hang on with Pr0filic as I find it pays very well. 1poll is another good one where you can clock up earnings quite quickly.

I keep debating about doing a bit of matched betting myself

Hello debtfree, thanks for dropping in. I will definitely keep going with Prolific as I like the site and the surveys are interesting. I seem to have times when I get offered no surveys for about 10 days then it picks up again. Today I got an email inviting me to do a survey but by the time I'd seem the email, the survey was full. I did however manage to complete one for the vast sum of 18p this afternoon :cool:

I do 1Poll as well, I've cashed out quite a few times and am nearly half way to that again.

Am hoping the MB works for me - think I need to take it slow and steady and have gone over the guides a few times till they have sunk in.

The weather here seems a bit all over the place, torrential rain again last night and the temperature really dropped yesterday evening so I ended up taking a hot water bottle to bed with me . Very cold and wet this morning so donned my winter jacket and headed out.

Was going to cook meatballs for the family so needed to buy some meat . Got it in the C@@P and used my points to pay. Bought another £1 bag of bird seed as they seem to be getting through a full feeder every day at the moment.

Family came round this afternoon which was nice then as it had warmer up considerably, I did some weeding out the front. I also thinned out some radishes I'm growing and added the leaves to the sauce that went with my tea. Sowed some more salad leaves in a different container as well.

A couple of weeks ago I found a book token that I'd forgotton I had been given when I left a work place years ago. It had expired but you can send them off and get a new one issued so I did that and now have £20 available for books or presents .

I've got a long day at work tomorrow though meeting a friend for coffee in a gap between jobs. Am going to get all my stuff ready next and then try and have an early night.

I knew "normality" was in there somewhere :rotfl: thanks for that :rotfl:

Good grief, that is cold. I agree, weather seems very up and down right now.

Even at this time of year thats not good. I'm sure Lidl/ Aldi were selling 50kg bags of bird food for something like £9 a while back? Bigger quantities might be much less per kilo (sucking eggs, the teaching of, comes to mind, I can't help it!).

Good stuff! Enjoy the books/pressies

Great news on the book token.
I really miss buying books.

I find with pr0filic just to refresh my screen a few times a day rather than waiting for the email is better. I checked last night about 5.30 and there were 4 surveys there, none of which I'd had an email about. I missed two as the places were gone, but managed to snaffle about £8 worth of earnings on there yesterday. Given, I was at home most of the day though.

Thanks Debtfree, I don't wait for the email as I get very few it was just that one arrived y'day. I do the refreshing the screen thing quite a few times a day so thats how I normally get the surveys or else they just arrive if I've got the tab open. Don't think I've had more than one survey waiting for a long time but we'll all be different demographics I imagine which wil have an effect on what we are offered.

Well done on your £8 worth - beats my 18p :rotfl:

Thanks KC, cool again last night so winter duvet out again. No Aldi or Lidl near me sadly - would love to have either close by. I normally get seed delivered from @sda with my shopping but had run out. The local pet shop does various sized bags, am sure that a bigger bag would be more cost effective but I can't carry it home . It will all quieten down once the babies have flown the nests.

Just checked banks - nothing to report on that front including still no pay from April - will have to chase it up if it doesn't arrive by the end of the week. I'll be doing this month's invoice in a few days.

Made my sarnies so off to work shortly and not back till late as have a couple of work meetings to go to which of course I'm not paid to attend but am obliged to attend . Still, coffee and catch up with friend in between and I have a JL voucher :cool:

Have a good day, teapot - you and debtfreeoneday gave me a good tip there, I'd no idea about leaving it open and refreshing, and they pay so well, it makes sense to try. Better than trying similar on SB, thats for sure
