Getting FIREd up 😀

I'm going to have to turn in my MSE stripes - I'm losing my desire for free money 😱😱😱 

Well, specifically, I have been invited to a one-hour online interview for £15 and I've not yet snapped up my slot. Plenty of slots available at convenient times, just don't think I can be *rsed!

However, I did put my details forward for the one One Poll are running: £300 (pretty sure that was a typo 🤣) for "No more than 10 minutes" - now that I would show up for 😀!

I'd turn up for the £300 one too! £15 - I can see your reluctance - but I agree in my earlier MSE days I would have gone for it. I think though it is good to value free time - it's the one resource that is not renewable.

I think if it was a focus group I would be more enthused, but it's a Zoom call so I would need to be engaged and interactive with them for the whole hour. That's a lot of talking about "healthy food" 😮!

Agree that that’s not enough for an hour’s one to one, so you can keep your MSE stripes! After all, you’re on that MF roll of honour, so how you spend your time is entirely up to you - no creditors involved!

Back to the Sainsbo/Nectar review of the year, I got a voucher for free root beer to celebrate me being the number one purchaser - guess what DD will be drinking this week! (I can't stand the stuff )

Yeah, not sure I'd want to talk to people for an hour for £15. I'd happily spend an hour completing a survey for that, just not engaging with other humans, would need danger money

KP, I've just done a survey about ice cream 🍦!

(Actually, I got screened out - BUT IT WAS ABOUT ICE CREAM 🍨🍦🍨🍦!!!)

Ahh man, you are living the life!

Also I fell off the survey wagon about 8-9 years ago.

I too abandoned surveys

I need to use this line on my boss, big up my position as the one who has to deal with the general public 🤣!

Good lord, I've actually just made it all the way through a NewVista survey without getting screened out or being told I'm using the wrong type of device! That's the first one since 20 November 😮!
