Giving every £ a job

Blackcats

@joedenise - the £15 survey popped up one evening a couple of weeks ago.  It said you needed to be working on the survey for 60 minutes and that they could tell if you spent less time than that.  Well I certainly didn't spend an hour on it and so whilst it's been showing as awaiting approval for a while I've been disregarding it from my total.  

I decided to cash out only at mid month because nothing much else happens money wise at that time so it's fun to distribute my survey earnings to various pots,

@Sun_Addict - I reckon smooth are still playing the same songs you rated.  Sorry that's probably not fair to smooth but whenever I listen it seems to be the same songs.

Well done on shopping from home.

It annoys me when they set particular times you have to meet for surveys - I can see that they want to check that people aren't just clicking through them without reading, but surely they can use attention check questions for that. As a relatively fast reader, I find myself having to dawdle through counting to 30 between each question to ensure I take the relevant time when it is a "you must take X time" one - and that's just boring! 

Great shopping from home too - when I came to the conclusion that I needed to replace my earphones recently i did have to put my hand in my pocket and part with actual money as my current phone is bluetooth only - it doesn't have a headphone jack - and all my spare pairs are wired!

@EssexHebridean - we have now found 4 more pairs of headphones still in various 👀 phone boxes so, fingers crossed, we won't need to buy any more for a while.  

A fairly productive start to the week - 
4 of my mum's patchwork quilts are now safely stored in vacuum pack bags
final batch of presents are wrapped and ready to be distributed
Christmas cards delivered to our neighbours and cards written for my dad's neighbours 
final sorting of a big box of CDs and DVDs that has been sitting in the garage for ages.  Found a couple of treasures but otherwise they were mostly .... no easy way to say this .... most of them are dreadful.  Our local charity shop said they want CDs though so hopefully they might find new owners 
sprouts blanched and frozen - removes the need to worry about fighting over sprouts in the supermarket later in the week 
Sorted out my summer sandals and stored them away (better late than never)
Oh and a fun dancercise class this morning to some Christmas tunes 

no money spent - first day for a while where my purse stayed closed 
looking forward to a cup of tea and some knitting now

Have a look at ziffit too for flogging CDs and DVDs. They're very choosy and don't usually pay much but money for things you don't want is always a win

Dancercise to Christmas tunes sounds intriguing (and hilarious)

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds - I think the AI bots  at ziffit were chuckling to themselves when they saw some of the CDs we scanned.  I blame MrBC for some of them but Donny Osmond was definitely mine and I felt sad for Donny that he wasn't wanted by me or by Ziffit.  I do still love Donny but I'm not in love with him any more 🤦‍♀️

Dancercise was indeed funny - about 20 mature ladies desperately trying to copy the instructor whilst "rocking around the Christmas tree".  I hide myself at the back of the hall which is fine until we have to turn around and suddenly I'm at the front and I'm meant to know what I'm doing.

LOL at the dance class. As long as you are having fun it's all good

Dance class sounds great. I am so in coordinated.

Oooh just went to one of his concerts at beginning of December. Might be 66 now but still got the voice and lovely personality. Such a great showman. Fab time was had and much more sedate than the concerts in the 70s. BTW still have all my albums tucked away in the loft.
