  • Thanks both, all good things to think about 👍 Glad I'm not the only one anyway

    Resuming normal service....I just had my first Populus survey come through (finally). Got about 30% of the way through....then got screened out 🙁

    And to balance out the moan, here is a very young Danny Dyer in A Touch Of Frost 😀


    Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
    Cleared 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
    Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed

    Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!

  • I live in hope, Vix 🤣!

    It's the voices, KP. It may have been 26 years ago, but he still sounded like Danny Dyer!

    Just look at the eyes!
  • I had a survey this week and thought of you all. I got screened out on the question 'do you work 40+ hours per week?'. I said no. 

    Surely if you are working 40+ hours a week you are unlikely to be doing surveys? (although I'm sure there are lots of people on here that do!)
  • Me included! My contracted hours are 45 per week 😱 Still not quite got used to that part of this job!!!

  • FORTY FIVE HOURS?

    Tbh I probably work that quite a few weeks and not actually get paid for it. But it's knackering and I really feel for you.

    If it's not adding up, compound it!
