    Hi LMD

    i love following you as I get so many ideas … I’m away to find out about Qmee (thanks Sunaddict) and Storewards. I’m was just catching up on your diary and well done on smashing through £5,000.

    have a fantastic Christmas 🎄 
    You need to be content with small steps. That’s all life is. Small steps that you take every day so when you look back down the road it all adds up and you know you covered some distance.

    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. :) 

    Merry Christmas x

    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. 
    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
