Hi LMD

Ah that’s a really lovely thing to say, however I can’t take credit for any originality! All the ways I make and save money are from this forum in some way or another.Mliz said:Hi LMD

I’m sure it was you who steered/alerted me to Prolific LMD.I’ve had a nice few quid from there already. Yesterday there was one with questions about about whether I had ever had a concussion followed by recording myself reading a passage for at least 30 seconds. Somewhat strange, but hopefully of use to the person setting up the study

I do often wonder how the data will be used for some of the surveys, it must be useful though or they wouldn't be paying for it.AntoMac said:I’m sure it was you who steered/alerted me to Prolific LMD.I’ve had a nice few quid from there already.

It was @shell16 who prompted me to go back to my prolific account
It's all about sharing!

And on to today's update... I have nowhere to be today, and will just be doing some prep for later this evening and tomorrow. Therefore it will be a NSD, number 17 for December

PADs this morning were £1 to CC7 and £16 to the sealed pot. This is what's left in my Monzo spends account at the end of this month, as I am unlikely to spend now until 27th which is our usual pay day. I've been doing a few more Qmee survey's today and whilst I have also been checking Prolific, I have been too late and they have been full by the time I opened the link. (fastest finger first!) Although I have just noticed that I can cash out now as I have £6 available so that will be my next job.
I hope everyone has a lovely (and not hectic) Christmas Eve
