Ooh, nothing so exciting I'm afraid! Just re-sealing round the bath where I made a total dog's dinner of it and it's come away 🙄

Hmm.. maybe I'll give it another go. At least you get paid pretty quickly when they are accepted. I am a bit lazy and if it looks like too much work or lots of photos I often can't be bothered to do it!South_coast said:There's not been much about this month (or I've not been looking as much, not sure which 🤔).

Good bath sealing there! And excellent frugal skills
I confess I've ditched streetbees... I think I only ever had 3 stories, they kept pinging me to say I hadn't looked in a while, and when I did there was nothing there. And my phone keeps running out space so I'm afraid they weren't worth keeping!6 -
Fair enough Cheery. It's funny how some work well for some people and others do better on others. I'll be ditching Swagbucks and One Poll once I get to payout and I'm now only looking at Qmee very occasionally (instant payment for any amount on that one, so still worth dropping in now and again if I can be bothered!)Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

And just to prove that point, I've spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning trying to do some Swagbucks surveys so I can get to payout and scrap it. Screened out of every one. Just went into Qmee for the first time in probably a week - 59p in 9 minutes. Now safely in my bank account!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I gave up on swag bucks. Just didn’t seem to get anything. It’s funny isn’t it how they pan out.Bath sealing then!!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Bath is sealed and ready for testing later 🤞 Thought I'd give it the full 24h to allow both me and it the best chance of success 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

P.S. If Streetbees reject my story about listening to The Dark Side of the Moon to keep myself entertained, I shall know they are philistines....😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
