  • Sounds like a busy time for you at the moment - hopefully all goes well with the MOT and it's not too costly.  Well done on the Prolific payout, I've just cashed another payout in, and came here to post.  Mine takes a few days for the payment to reach my Paypal, is it the same for you? @Shell16 says hers is instant so I'm not sure if I am missing something?

    Why not join in on the payment a day thread?  You don't even need to pay every day but it might help you focus, we only pay what we can, when we can.  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5590353/payment-a-day-chapter-18#latest would be great for you to join in.  Last month we PADded over £7k between us!

  • How odd that mine isn’t? It says on the notification that it might take 5 days… but it’s usually about 24-30 hours

    @LittleMissDetermined
    How many cashouts have you completed on the Prolific site?

    I think that might be why you have to wait LMD. Once you have done so many cash outs (I can’t remember how many now) you can then go to instant cash out where it goes to your PayPal straight away.

    Aaaahhhh so it’s maybe because I’m new? That may explain it

    Payment a day sent of £2.09.
    Tax return figures sorted. 
    Person bank account looking sad until marking money comes in next week (hopefully!) But I don't need to treat myself this week and joint account covers food. 

    Debating signing onto a patchwork and quilting course starting in September. It's 9 weeks for £120 - thought it would be a good way to get my creative juices running and meet some new people now I live in a different town. Just got to work out where to take funds from...

    Maybe if I sort out wardrobe and list some items on vinted I may be able to contribute funds from that. 

    Oh and update on temperature blanket later if I can work out how to post pictures again 😂
