    Maybe it's just a really deep survey from a Jungian :D I'm sorry, will stop with the one liners soon

    Keep them coming, it's bringing some light relief having just been given the same survey again another THREE times 🤦‍♀️!

    At least they are better written surveys than the one my local council sends out which stop you giving an opinion at all…

    Well I was offered the "animas" survey twice more today, but politely declined....

    ....but they truly surpassed themselves for randomness, when at the end of a survey about passing down heirlooms to the next generation, they suddenly asked whether I drink London Dry Gin. Is gin an heirloom now 🤷‍♀️🤔?

    Thank you! No bonkers surveys today, fortunately - and I finally got 10/10 on the NewVista Friday fun quiz, so I might have won 50 points (50p) there 😀

    I have decided to start stoozing! A mention from CCW007 got me thinking, and as with most things financial, I've given it no thinking time whatsoever and just jumped right into it 😳!

    So, two new 0% purchases cards applied for today to get me started (I figured I'd go for two at once, so the hard search for the first doesn't show up when I apply for the second). All the spending from those can then sit earning me 3.2% if I keep it in instant access, or a bit more if I decide to tie it up in a fixed-term account. Only problem now is spending enough to make it worthwhile!

    Forgot to say, opening the two cards should also get me £49 from TopCashBack 😀
