    I am so glad I'm not alone on this - thanks team 😀

    Lol.  I love that there are so many things on your diary that suddenly engage a lot of people.  So much variety too  :D

    One Poll keep screening me out for everything and it's getting annoying.  I'll never cash out at this rate...

  • Haha great survey questions and all the better for me thinking they were from the same survey

    That would have been more interesting! Sadly they managed to spin out a whole survey with questions about underarms 😱!

    Yes - finally been asked it!!!


    (The survey was about my experience of claiming Jobseeker's Allowance last year, so felt a bit guilty putting this at the end 😳 but trying not to let that take the shine off the moment!)

    Whoop, Whoop! :D:D
    And those questions from One Poll are fantastic!
    2014 starting mortgage £165,000
    2015 second charge £20,000 - Jan 2021 paid off in full
    Current outstanding balance - £115,856

    And in other news, One Poll have surpassed themselves with these beauties tonight (the small consolation being that they were at least from different surveys):



    🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️???
    Is it okay that I'm disappointed that these are not from the same survey?! lolol
    Rule 7: If you're not changing it, you're choosing it.

    Actually, probably the one thing they didn't ask me was what I thought about whales' and dolphins' underarms 🤣!
