    On a mission to sort and sell stuff in my house that I don't want or need. Finding FB marketplace is the best for most things (especially bulky items) and charity shopping/freecycling anything thats not great to sell. Sold something for £5 this week so far, planning to list more at the weekend.
    I've also cashed in most of my premium bonds and put them in the Coventry BS (thanks to MSE) and now earning a cool 3.2%, to be paid monthly so I'll be updating that regularly as soon as that starts paying.

    I'm No 39, £48/£2023 so far..Its nearly the end of January already though, so I'm going to have to pick up the pace a bit!
    Checking in with £56.45 from Prolific.

    £281.90/2023

    Kierrasofia, I'm doing prolific and ISay too, do you add this here when you have 'cashed in' your points, or have a separate running total that you have for prolific? Youv'e maid £56 with prolific this month? thats amazing! I've done quite a few, but I'm only at £5 for this month! I don't tend to do ones that need you to do a video or audio interview though, they seem to be the ones that pay the best, do you do those?

    Hi lindos90, I do add it here when I have cashed in my points. 

    I don't do the video or audio interviews as I don't like being on camera.

    I work from home so leave the Prolific tab open, so try to catch studies while i'm working. You do have to be very quick as the better paying ones go fast.

    If you can pick up the multi-part studies you do over weeks and months they can pay well, as can the game playing studies where you can pick up large bonuses on top they are good.
