Yes, me too 🤣! But the EF must stay where it is, and things like car insurance would be tricky to pay without the car insurance pot 🙁

I made one last night 😀! I'm trying to hold off until the last one credits before sending another so they (and I) don't get muddled, but they are soooo slooow in applying them at the moment! Seems to be about 8 days, so I have no idea when this last one will credit as that'll place it in amongst the Bank Holidays 🙁
Don't they know I had a target to reach for the end of the year???Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Thanks ladies 😀 Now I just need to earn the money to actually pay it off! Or underspend on the categories I have the money in pots for - holidays 2021 is looking a likely candidate 🤣!
More big news this morning.... I have deleted Streetbees 😮😮😮! I was hardly getting any stories coming through now and the earnings v time spent wasn't great (although it was much more fun than normal surveys). I've had over £50 from there since starting in August though, so definitely not to be sniffed at, I just felt as though it had run its course for me. I'm also 7 Swagbucks away from a £3 voucher on there, so I'm desperately trying to get those so I can ditch that too. One Poll will also be going, but I'm only on £13.25/£30.00, so I'll probably still be trying to get that for the next 12 months!
I'm sticking with the sites that work for me: Prolific, Qmee, Nectar Canvass (terrible earnings v time spent, but it gets me free food!) and then the ones which feel more passive than active: Consumer Pulse, Shop & Scan, Shoppix, Storewards, Huyu, ZipZero (I'm actually showing an available balance on this now, so it may work after all), YouGov and New Vista. Phew, still sounds like quite a lot 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
