Keep calm and carry on....

I'm also monitoring my grocery spend this month (just because I thought it would be interesting 🤣). My largest categories so far are £8.00 on frozen fruit and £4.10 on halloumi 🤣!

I'm up to £18.00 on frozen fruit now 😮😮😮

Just chased my £15 deodorant money again. It's 12 days since they told me they were looking into it but there might be a delay due to holidays, so it seemed an appropriate timescale. Free money currently looking very sad without that and the One Poll - only £34.69 so far and we're 18 days in 🙁!

I’m glad your money is as woeful as mine this month. August really is quiet on the money front!

It's terrible! If it wasn't for the fact I chanced upon a £10 Prolific survey the other week I'd be even worse!

I’ve found prolific to be very quiet but seem to be doing ok with other ones. Populous is certainly a good one for me - at £11 already and only signed up last week. If it keeps that up it won’t be long till £50 cash out point.

Well I did try to sign up to them about 6 hours ago - but still waiting for my link to be emailed through to confirm my account....🙄🙄🙄 Maybe I'll try again this evening!

OK, still no confirmation email and it won't let me try setting up an account again as it's already got my email address in the system (but won't let me log in either because my account's not confirmed 🤦‍♀️). Have sent them an email....

If they're not helpful, I may just decide to not bother - if they're not receptive to this request they're unlikely to be about anything else, and I've spent far too much of my life chasing survey companies for points already! Consider yourselves on notice, Populous 🤣!

I've found Populus is really good at the moment - I presume the Gov't are busy canvasing opinions so they can write the next Queen's Speech. They seem to be the only survey company who can accurately tell you how long it will really take.

I look forward to giving it a try!!!

Still nothing from Populous, but....drum roll please....I've had the £15 for the deodorant test 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ (followed an hour later by an email saying it had been paid "earlier in the week" 🙄 Well, yes it had if you're being picky, but it was still over a month late)

Am now £1.05 ahead of where I should be at this point in the month, with £29.52 to go to hit the target. Now, if One Poll would just cough up.... Although I have a feeling the Bank Holiday will put a stop to that arriving in August 🙄!
