    Thanks both 😀 

    I've not really been on Prolific much lately, Ed. Seem to have got a bit of a mental block/lack of enthusiasm for it at the minute - which is a shame, as whenever I do go on it, I seem to quickly hoover up a couple of surveys. Just then struggle to get back to it afterwards!

    Good to see all your organisation 
    I need to look at using these extra cash isa’s now .. 

    Lovely indeed to see the S&S rally at present :) 

    I get too busy re the Prolific but then as you say when I pop in it’s always a nice surprise 
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    I’m the same with 1poll at the mo. Feel like it’s a lot of questions for little reward but then it’s always nice to hit that £25 payout.

    Me too. I did dip my toe back into prolific yesterday, which was ok, but 1poll got abandoned mid-survey. I neither know nor care how many times I’ve heard medical taboos being discussed. Nor do I like their terribly worded questions. I’m sure I’ll go back but not at the moment.

    Ah, now see One Poll I'm keeping up with no problem - although I agree that medical taboos one yesterday did make me want to go and hurt someone!

  • I'm thinking of signing up for One Poll, is it simple or do they have a waiting list like PA? Do post/DM me a referral link if you'd get any bonus from it

    Don't think there's a wait and don't think there's a referral code either, but here's the link to sign up: https://onepolluk.questionpro.eu/a/panel.do?id=1602630126&tabIndex=

    You too can be frustrated by surveys that include the word "gotten" about 10 times in them 🙁 What's wrong with good old-fashioned "got"???

  • Cheers, it'll be a change of scenery from being annoyed at all the other survey providers 😁

    The ubiquitous seepage of US English into our language…. So irritating. And don’t get me started on it in duolingo!
