I know 😂😂😂 I mean, I wasn't working constantly, but even so 😂

Still, I am very grateful for that £50 now 😂 Definitely better off with onepoll though!

Woohoo on YG. I have binned it now.

You’d think they could have at least given you the interest on the £50 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m surprised anyone is still doing it.  Must be the slowest to get to £50.  Took me about 6 years IIRC and then binned it.

I still do YG, not sure exactly when I started with them, but first payout was 2019 and I've had 200 quid off them so far.

I've had one payout back in 2018 - took me from 2007 to earn that!  There is 30 pounds of points sitting in the account, but to be honest I've only done one survey this year back in April as the huge payout threshold does not keep me interested!  I've not exactly given up, but my interest comes in fits and starts!

PA on the other hand keeps my interest as the studies are interesting and the payouts frequent!  The OH has done rather well on this one as well, averaging 60 pounds a month for the past year - we call it his 'wine' money - in my head that keeps the grocery budget from taking a hit!

Hi, being curious 🤔 what’s PA? Willow

Pr0lific Academ1c Willow!

If I ever reach the payout on YG I will definitely be giving it up after that - I'm in RT's camp of interest going in fits and starts - I think I am currently just over half way though. I'm afraid I suspect that you need to fit a very particular political (possibly party-political) demographic to do well with them - and I (and a lot of others) just don't!

😂😂 I was a bit hit and miss in the early days too - getting from £25 to £50 has been a lot quicker but probably still a year of doing every survey i was emailed. I think I'll ditch it at this point, where I'm only 15p into the next £50!

Dentist again - filling this time, and impressions to replace the incorrect denture. Let's hope someone checks it when it comes back this time! 😂 It was only a 30 min appointment but I was in there an hour, so apologies to the people after me (again) - I would rather have been done more quickly! 😂

Got to walk back to work now. Really can't be bothered, it's only half an hour and all uphill and I'm feeling sorry for myself 🙄 But Mr Cheery is visiting his dad, so won't be swinging by to get me til 6.30 or later, so I might as well be at work doing something useful.

Next week's strike has been called off, thank goodness. I do still want to take Monday off though, in lieu of a Friday I worked recently, so I'd best get stuff done. At least the sun is shining!
