    I need to have a think about this!  I've ignored most surveys for a long time now, and I only do the autotrader comp for an electric car 🤣 - there's obviously plenty I *could* be doing when I'm crashed out in my armchair!

    Nope 😂 I don't mind Prolific - they don't ask for personal info and are usually quite interesting. OnePoll seem short which is good. Everything else does my head in. I don't have the patience for Swagbucks and I've now been screened out of 8 QMee surveys in a row, sometimes quite far in, so they probably won't last long 🙄😂

    First day back at work after 26 days off today 😱 I did some of it in the garden, and some in a cafe, in a bid to ease myself in gently 😂 and tomorrow we have a family event, so I'm having the day off and working Friday instead. Don't want to overdo it 😂

    Anyway, in terms of making extra cash, this is today's state of affairs:

    Prolific now stands at £24.56 with another £1.02 waiting for approval
    Happy Wheel lost £14 today, so standing at £41 for the month
    Onepoll - not seen a survey at all anytime I've checked today 🙄
    QMee - haven't even opened, was too annoyed at being back at work to make it worse 🙄😂

    Need to start noting daily amounts - I might join in the Make £10, a day thread next month but want an idea of what's realistic before then...

    🙄 these will be going into the household pot so I have a vested interest in getting it up and running some time this century!

    Off to a family event today - just lunch with Mr Cheery's cousin etc. Bit of a trek though. He's arranged for us to meet up with a friend for a cuppa before we get to the main thing, so best get up and going.  Might try and do a few surveys etc in the car on the way back 😂

    You're survey obsessed all of a sudden! 😂

    Definitely a palaver getting Mr Cheery set up, but at least with Prolific it is worth it. Qmee, definitely not so much - it's great for being instantaneous withdrawal, but not for much else. I gave up on it a long time ago. (And swagbucks - not worth the time, for me.)

    Have a lovely day today!
