Yep, they seem to particularly like to hear about desserts at the moment. And if only I'd been cooking with cream this week - been on there for days and it's worth £1!QueenJess said:
They are usually quiet at the weekends. You have to keep checking the app in the week... I find first thing in the morning is often best. Be prepared for some very random questions and sometimes photos!Cheery_Daff said:Ha, well as long as you carefully consider everything, find the best deal, and don't go into debt, I'm sure Martin would approve!
I've just experimentally signed up for Streetbees. Never heard of them before you mentioned them - let's see what bizarre things they throw at me! Nothing so far...

That's right. I pay for storage - a huge 79p a month. I had £10 from a survey site (didn't want whatever else they offered) and they took the money from that for years until I just started to be charged again. To be honest it's a bit of a shock to be charged anything.. it's been so long!South_coast said:
That's interesting Vix, so if I have a credit balance on my account they won't charge my credit card? I think I might still have a pound or two left on there as a starting point 🤔themadvix said:Lots of survey companies offer iTunes voucher credit which can be used to pay for Apple Music (S&S now, among others). Occasionally I bung DH a £10’s worth when I feel the credit needs using.

What Jess said re credit - I do exactly the same, a whole 79p/month for storage comes out of my £10 survey site earned credit!
Might have to look into Streetbees... I’m intrigued! Do you have a referral?Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

They are indeed! Thanks, I shall report back....😀
So today has been decreed a day of cleaning (phone suggested cottaging then 😮 Why is that even in its dictionary 🤔?). So obvs I'm still sat on the sofa in my dressing gown. I have done the washing up though, so that's a start, and means I will have clear surfaces for when I actually get round to cleaning them. Off for a shower to try and motivate myself....Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
