    Who do you test for if you don’t mind me asking? 
    I’d like to test for t*sco (assuming maybe that’s who you’ve used) however they don’t have openings right now :(

    I've got a few from swift research, clicks research and I get a few from mmr but they're usually via surveys and really random.

    I do zoom calls and group communities via panelbase, qmr or research Opinions.

    Afternoon all! 

    So, I have realised I need to adjust my budget for next month, maybe even try a NSM. As I currently have £1 in my bank until Payday (Friday) Which isn't ideal. Luckily I have sold a few items on ebay so I can use that, but I really messed myself up this month!! :cold_sweat:

    Hello to all that follow along! 

    Made £6 so far on surveys whilst it's quiet in work, not much else really happening.

    Paid £5 to fluid today, slowly getting there! :smiley:

    So, I’ve been doing more surveys today and for some reason my debt numbers are bugging me so I think aswell as a motivator it’s also going to pay off, I’m going to try and get my debts down to rounded numbers, eg Aqua being at £509.84 I’d like to get it down to £500 and same with the rest of the debts. Sounds weird I know but will motivate me a lot.

    Not sure if this would be any use but I also use two apps ones called Attapoll with payouts being instant but need to be £3+ and Curious Cat with instant payouts at £1+, I also use Surveybods, panel base and YouGov. Panelbase is £10+ payout and surveybods is £15. YouGov is £50 but takes awhile.

     Don't worry, it's not just you. I did it too after seeing a couple of other people on here had done it. It makes it easier to add them all up if nothing else.

    Haha good! I feel less mad now :lol: I think it will motivate me a lot more than I currently feel.
