    Thanks TnT 😀 It's crazy, I only used to do Prolific but have picked up a couple more in view of approaching broke-ness and they're adding up (although I think I may be drawing my pension by the time I get to the £50 cashout on YouGov 😮😮😮!)

    YouGov is a biennial event I reckon... but at least they don’t screen you out and it’sa decent amount by the end!

    Ooh, before retirement then 🤣! They've sent me another this morning. Looking at it, I need 5000 points to claim £50, making each point worth 1p - so the 450 points I've got so far is actually £4.50, which makes me feel a lot further on than I did! It's just a huge figure to have to get to before you can take anything out of it!

    Woke up a bit earlier this morning (not intentionally!), so have done a couple of Qmee for 44p so far 😀

    I had a luxurious shower the other day with coconut shower gel, I got in and it was so nice I was like 'This is my life now, I'm going to live in this shower!' 😂
