    Been away helping my dad for a few days, so no time for anything, but today I managed £28.47 from a mix of P/fc, Qm** and a FB sale.  Hoping the rest of the month is as good. 
    Well done @outoftheviciouscircle, you are storming it this month

    Hi all 😊

    I'm thinking of joining you next month 😊 Just have a quick question though - with surveys etc do you track what you've made in a day, or wait until you've reached payout and count it all then? Eg I'm currently up to £7.05 with 1poll, but can't withdraw til I'm at £25 - would you count the amount made each day, or wait for payout? 

    Enjoying reading how you're all getting on - I do extra bits and pieces but don't track an overall monthly amount, but I'd like to!

    Thanks 😊

    I only count mine once I've physically got it in my bank account. Just in case anything happens & it doesn't pay out.

    I am lacking motivation this month.  Finally had my £10 gift card from opening a Kroo account and £5 rewards from my current account.  I hope everyone else is doing better.
    Make £10 a day challenge - January 2023 = £292.89/£310 - Feb 2023 = £677.09/280 - March 2023 = £102.45/£310 - April = £300.12/300 - May 2023 = £306.80/£310 - June = £245.88/£150 - July = £295.45/£310 - August 2023 £51.56/£310

    I think its been a funny old month @WelshSaver. I am finding surveys very slow and running out of things to sell on FB & no mystery shops in the area. Hoping September will improve.

    Well a much better day, total of £24.63, from a FB sale when I suddenly realised I had a handbag I never use and P/fc starting to approve at last.

  • I just didn't have the willpower to leave my Prolific money sitting there until the end of the month so I cashed out £110.16 bringing my total to £326.16 for the month. Having a weekend off the mystery shopping but may pick some up for Monday.
